I missed this before, but apparently we’re now nearly a year into Merck and Moderna’s Phase-3 trials of a novel mRNA vaccine (mRNA-4157) in combination with Keytruda to slow or halt aggressive melanoma growth. (press release), and about 4 months into a similar Phase 3 trial of the same drug combo for small cell lung cancer (press release). Here’s hoping that 2025 is the year we cure (some kinds of) cancer!
There are people in hospital, on the cusp of death, who will refuse to receive blood because it’s unknown whether it’s “vaccinated” mRNA blood or not.
I’m curious to see how this goes.
That’s their decision to make. I don’t see the relevance to this discovery though. If those people don’t want it, then that’s their choice. Give it to people who do.
There’s no differentiation in blood donations. Surgery consent is wrapped around blood consent so it may mean surgery is off the table as well, depending.
Ofc it’s a choice, refusal of medical care is almost always on the table, unless you’re chaptered or deemed nondecisional or some such. As this tech becomes more mainstream, I’m curious to see how many bow out of medical cares going forward. Or, if this we be re-written as somehow different than the vaccine tech and therefore deemed ok because everyone wants a cure for cancer.
Natural selection at its finest.
I feel like most people will have a change of heart when they are actively dying in the hospital. Same as how many anti-abortion folks end up getting abortions when it’s their body on the line.
the original article (linked in this article; from The Guardian) is over 8 months old.
Yup. I linked both the original press release about melanoma as well as the one from October about the similar trial for lung cancer.
US finally catching up with Cuba on cancer vaccines. Hopefully it’ll be widely available.
Conspiracy theorists in 2019: “Big Pharma is hiding the cure to cancer because they’d rather keep people on chemo”
Conspiracy theorists in 2025: “The vaccine for cancer is actually worse than cancer”
The difference this time is that this won’t be paid by the government like covid vaccine and in fact will be very expensive (i.e. how much people are willing to pay to cure their cancer?)
How can you create such conspiracy, when they don’t even want to give that vaccine?
I suspect if we were forced to pay $500 or more to get covid vaccine we wouldn’t have conspiracies either.
Somewhere between the answer to the following two questions.
How much is your life worth to you?
And
How much is your life worth to your community.
how much people are willing to pay to cure their cancer?)
People are typically willing to pay everything they have to avoid dying and excruciating death.

In the USA.
