RFK, Jr. will make sure Americans can't get it.

What if the life saving cancer treatment gives the patient autism?!
-
Tell him it cures Autism too.

forget about the cure for cancer, they have a cure for neurotypicals

Since there is absolutely 0 evidence that's a thing, we don't have to worry about it at all. The only people who worry about it are sad victims of misinformation.

it will also cost next to nothing in every country in the world, but be in the hundreds of thousands USD for Americans.

#1 reason I no longer live in the U.S.

Vaccines are a vital threat to non-regulated supplements he is peddling.

Try putting it in a Hydroxychloroquine box.

Cancer vaccines, and a "sentient" cantaloupe as POTUS.
What a time to be alive.

Please don't besmirch cantaloupes like that.

goddamn i forgot the world can get better sometimes

Could someone remind me the difference between a vaccine and treatment. For some reason I thought a vaccine was a preventative measure to keep from getting something - but this seems to be described as a treatment for when you’re diagnosed?

It's immunotherapy that prevents the cancers from deactivating the immune cells that would ordinarily kill the cancer cells. So it's like a traditional vaccine in that it causes changes to the immune system to better equip it to fight disease, but it's a pretty new methodology of accomplishing that.

You're correct. This is bad reporting.

As great as it sounds, the article is leaving out a lot of information. This drug has been available since 2014 in the US for certain cancers. My Mom was on it before she passed from cancer. The big news from this is that it will now be available in an injection, instead of an infusion.
-
Do they not yet know the relative effectiveness of this treatment? It wasn’t mentioned or I missed it.
It’s great that it’s faster to administer, really, but if the outcomes are not as good..
-
Immunotherapy has been making stunning progress so I'd wager positive results
-
-
Its not a vaccine.

Anyone else read this as "now available on VHS" and instantly get transported back into the '90s?
