    Am I the only one asking how they know they will live into their seventies if the drug was just approved in 2019?

      The drug was likely out in human trials for years before it was approved, and they likely could see the recovery was commensurate with a normal human lifespan.

      it’s a good question - but it may be the expectation to “live a normal lifetime” or maybe people who participated in early trials? Don’t know.
