Sadly, it's worse. We don't have one experiment that works in mice: we have dozens, if not hundreds. We've cured "Alzheimer's in mice" many times over. The treatments never work in humans, because it's not the same disease. We don't know the root cause of the human disease and so we can't model it accurately in mice.
I totally get that people are not mice, however animals studies have been useful for all sorts of diseases. Are they really uniquely bad for Alzheimer's?
