THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. π§ͺπ§΅β¬οΈ

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE βΌοΈ β¬οΈ
IIRC Cancer is when cells divide oddly, as in, they aren't following the genetic code them.
That isn't a virus, so how does a vaccine work on something like this? Prevents the cells from sending erroneous information as they divide?
There is also research that it can prevent Alzheimer's and a lot of other diseases that you can get because of well bad genetics!
They have so much information available and can help match you to a trial if youβre interested in that. (I volunteer with the organization.) Best wishes to you! π
And hey I found you again! So happy to see you here on Bluesky! I always enjoyed your Twitter threads.

Make sure not to let RFK jr know about this

This is such hopeful news.
Call it something else.
2. Your enthusiasm for scientific advancement improving our world is always admirable c:
Came through like a train.
Anything effective in this space is huge.
I know a lot of older men who could really use this great news.
THIS IS JUST ONE REASON WHY WE FUND RESEARCH.
Both HHS and NIH are targets of maga and doge.

this is awesome. this is why you might want to keep your scientists and researchers instead of firing them all.
The only way out is to be drugged into insensibility and, if you believe in prayer, to get down on your knees and beg God for an βeasy passing.β
I had to watch, twice.
I donβt ever want to have to do that again.
By the time it was diagnosed, it was well past the time for any treatment options. One of those diseases you hope and pray will be ground into the dust.
It's my hope one day we'll finally beat every type of cancer. Lost my grandfather and uncle to thyroid cancer. I feel for every family these diseases have affected.
Because 3 years is sadly a long time to have pancreatic cancer & I'd worry that (A) makes it an unrepresentative sample.
It more profitable to treat cancer than vaccinate against it
America the dumbest smart nation on earth
Itβs almost like weβre at a juncture in the evolutionary timeline where we split off as a species due to a cerebral mutation
It is the magic key.
