Evidence suggests mRNA (Covid) vaccines prolong some cancer patients' lives.

[Laffy Kat]

This is coming out of MD Anderson.

The gist: for cancer patients about to undergo immunotherapy, having an mRNA covid vaccine within 100 days of starting the therapy could prolong life. Interesting and exciting!

1. Don't tell Bobby. But, yeah, this is exciting.

2. maga anti-vaxxers are going to lose their ... um ... composure when they hear this news. . . . nt

[Wounded Bear]

3. Assuming they have any composure in their batshit crazy existances...nt

4. Originally I wrote 'lose their shit' but took an ironic hook instead. :) . . . nt

5. RFK Jr won't bother to read that article

and will poke his fingers in his ears and screeam "LALALALALA" until all mRNA vaccines are banned in the US and all research using mRNA to inseart genetic material ino cells being studied is also banned.

Anything he doesn't understand is scary.

6. Lymphoma Survivor

Although I am in complete remission, I am undergoing maintenance treatments every 3 weeks.

I was first diagnosed in 1990 with lymphoma.

I thought perhaps the same thing that mRNA COVID vaccine may help my chemotherapy but had no logical reason to think so.

But I get COVID boosters on a regular basis; at least annual; not for that but because I am immunocompromised.

There are some promising trials that they use mRNA vaccines, not COVID vaccines, for other cancers, like pancreatic cancer.

It could be used for other cancers as well.

Trump and RFK Jr are the wrong persons to spearhead such a venture with their conspiracy-bent minds.

9. I so glad you're doing well.

Hodgkins or non-Hodgkins? My ex-husband had Hodgkins in 2007, and he is still cancer free, considered cured. There's been amazing progress in treatments, and every reason to be optimistic.

:hi

13. Non-Hodkgins

Non-Hodgkin's.

It was diagnosed as an indolent lymphoma called follicular lymphoma in 1990.

It came back in more aggressive lymphoma in 2002 and 2019 as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

I learned that trying to use a therapy that worked in the past sometimes does not work.

When it returned in 2019, I tried 4 therapies over 2 years; they all failed.

The fifth treatment worked; it was a new treatment that had only been approved by the FDA the year before.

ACA helped save my life with its rule of no more lifetime limits.

So, you are right there are amazing new treatments.

But am concerned with Trump cancelling cancer research.

Thanks for asking. Hope you have the best of health.

7. It's exciting about cancer, but it makes me uncomfortable about mRNA vaccines.

We were assured that the Covid mRNA vaccine - the first of its kind which was ushered out hurriedly just for Covid - would not have effects other than allowing us to ward off Covid.

Obviously, we are willing to take risks to fight cancer, but if it's causing a substance to be produced that is acting as a general immune system boost, I think it needs a lot more studies conducted to find out exactly what is being acted upon on the molecular level before it is used as the basis for any other new, routine vaccines.

But hooray for the cancer impact. I would use it in a heartbeat if my breast cancer ever returned.

[Laffy Kat]

10. Oh, this is going to open the door for so much research. nt

[erronis]

14. Yes, in other countries - until we get rid of this regime (and especially the crank rfkjr.)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. There are sub-clinical cases of Covid (and flu etc.). The vax might prevent those cases from creating problems. . . . nt

[NH Ethylene]

16. Definitely.

I've had 3 of the Covid vaccines and have had mild Covid twice. I know that vaccine saved many lives back when the disease was much more severe. And it continues to make people's lives better by preventing the disease from inflicting 'Long Covid' on its victims.

But I'd like us to stick to the 'tried and true' vaccine methods for other diseases until we know a LOT more about how the introduced mRNA affects the cellular biology.

8. We can now "bet the farm" likely all of those in America...

...That haven't gone bankrupt, aren't at risk of being bought by venture capitalists* and still have owners who haven't unalived themselves**

That These Psychopaths in the regime will do everything in their power to keep everyone but themselves from seeing the benefits of this science.

Welcome to the world of the psychopathic oligarchy where you don't matter if you don't have the green, money, or property (like land.) Because no body is making any more land on the planet and what we have we don't appreciate. For reasons that I don't understand.

Plus, even if you do have such the urge to show love, with these antisocial personality types as programmed by their deviant brains, it is transformed into death and destruction because that's how psychopaths roll.

If you don't know how to spot these dangerous egotistical asses yet, here's a handy checklist.

I suggest everyone familiarize themselves with the content.

JD Vance funded AcreTrader. Here’s why that matters.
AcreTrader is just one of many companies launched in the past decade that facilitate the sale of farmland, which has increasingly become a staple in investor portfolios. Recently, it was revealed that this includes the investment portfolio of vice presidential nominee JD Vance, the Republican senator from Ohio.

Vance invested up to $65,000 in private investments in AcreTrader during his stint as a venture capitalist, according to his 2022 financial disclosure to the Senate ethics committee. The investment firm Narya Capital—which Vance launched in 2020 with backing from PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel—was a vehicle for these investments, and a key backer in early funding rounds of the farmland startup. And while Vance is no longer listed as a partner at Narya Capital, according to his 2023 financial disclosure, he appears to still be an investor in the firm—or more technically, multiple legal entities with names including Narya.
“There’s no indication that Vance has divested from AcreTrader, and there’s every indication that that investment remains in place,” said Lisa Graves, the executive director of True North Research, an investigative research group. She points to how Vance sold off his stock in “Narya Capital Management LLC” in 2023, but that’s not the same as the (albeit similarly named) investment vehicles used to invest in AcreTrader.

In a social media post, Sarah Taber, a farm and food systems strategist and the Democratic candidate for North Carolina commissioner of agriculture, describes AcreTrader as “like Uber for buying U.S. farmland.” Like Uber, AcreTrader makes it easier for more buyers to gain quick access to an ordinarily expensive asset. “And who’s one of its key investors, profiting off of every sale?” Taber asks. “JD Vance.”

A Silent Truth Hidden in the Farm Economy: Farmer Suicides Are on the Rise
With 259 farm bankruptcies filed between April 2024 and March 2025, it’s clear the financial stress on farms is only growing more severe this year. But there’s been another troubling trend happening in the midst of the downturn.

11. I agree with everything you said.

Private equity will be a major part of our downfall. This is end-stage capitalism.
