mRNA vaccines for every imaginable disease. Who’s in?

Almost sounds too good to be true

Imagine visiting your doctor for a routine checkup, and on top of the usual shots — the annual flu or COVID vaccine—your doctor asks if you’d like to be vaccinated for cancer. All cancer— lung, skin, colon, you name it — with just one mildly uncomfortable jab in the arm. That scenario, which sounds like something out of science fiction, might be closer than you think. And it’s mostly thanks to the COVID vaccine – which in a few short years has become the highest-profile of the increasingly influential family known as mRNA vaccines. Indeed, mRNA vaccines designed to treat cancer (among other diseases) “are quite realistic,” says Anna Blakney, an RNA researcher at the University of British Columbia. Blakney describes it as a RNAissance. ”Scientists are exploring the use of mRNA for many different applications,” she says, not just in treating cancer and COVID but “enzyme replacement therapies, immunotherapies, you name it.” These medicines “will be game changers in the years to come,” she says. But then came the pandemic, and its urgency meant “bureaucratic red tape was reduced,” says Keith Knutson, a professor of immunology at the Mayo Clinic who researches and develops cancer vaccines. “It resulted in critical re-evaluation of some of the rules, regulations, and procedures that guide drug development.” Unlike most vaccines, which inject part of a virus into the patient, mRNA gives our cells instructions on how to make the necessary protein (or antibodies) to fight off infectious agents. The technology could potentially target any abnormal protein” that leads to disease, says Lennard Lee, an oncologist at the University of Oxford. Several mRNA vaccines are in the works that will tackle everything from ovarian, colorectal, lung and pancreatic cancers. Vaccines are even being developed for diseases that aren’t threatening humans — yet. The lessons learned from the creation of COVID vaccines have served as a sort of canary in the coal mine for the entire arena of mRNA vaccine research. But if we need more vaccines that target more cancers, that just means we have to speed up trials and continue the pace that started with COVID, says Lee. And even more than that, we need more cooperation like the type that helped advance the COVID vaccine so rapidly.

I mean it's new tech that may be a game changer for how we address disease. It's still in its infancy stage, though. Probably wasn't ready for prime time in 2021.

Let's Operarion Warp Speed it!!!!

I honestly don’t know enough yet or understand the technology to know what to think.

To bad there's not a "vaccine" for dumb asses.

Reality is the fear porn you hear from the hard anti vaccine people is overstated. Just as much as it’s overstated that it’s “safe and effective”. To roll it out and push it on people was a huge overstep.
It is a technology with great potential. It isn’t inherently evil. I am excited about the possibilities with targeted cancer therapies. Just don’t mandate people take if.

What are the side effects?
Every disease imaginable?

So the vaccine technology that is causing cancer rates to go thru the roof is close to being unleashed on the public with the claim it will eliminate cancer? What could possibly go wrong?

I know a couple of doctors that are very high on the technology.
They say it might lead to cancer vaccines.

This is a good attitude to espouse

They said even for diseases not yet imagined!

The mRNA Covid shot gives people Covid. Well, it certainly didn't prevent Covid anyway. But the mRNA cancer shot will totally make it so you don't get cancer ever! Where do I sign up?

Maybe they’ll have to prove this shite works before the government endorses it.
Who am I kidding. No way. That would stand in the way of making people rich.

One of my closer friends (through Gifted so very smart) who is a Dr is very confident they will be a game changer.

I've had the same experience.
And I agree that we probably unleashed it before it was ready.
The only silver lining is that with billions of lab rats, we have a huge amount of data to learn from and make corrections.

Also, if it's as bad as they want it to be, the modern world will end rather quickly so I may want to die first in modern luxury, anyway.

In 20 years I might take it if I’m still alive.72 now so it’s doubtful.

Medical Industrial Complex never leaves a disastrous wake of mistakes and unforeseen consequences. Just take the jab!
