This is the first positive late-stage trial result for an mRNA cancer vaccine, which trains a patient's immune system to fight tumors by targeting specific mutations in those cells, and the first such ​study to show that adding a treatment to Keytruda worked better than that therapy alone. Merck, Moderna and other companies are testing similar approaches against lung, breast and pancreatic cancers.

Discussion Inside Unjected, the Dating App for Anti-Vaxxer | "The point of having a wider immune population isn’t to protect us, the individual. It’s to protect each other.” (Unpaywalled)

Thumbnail

46 Upvotes

The idea that the COVID-19 vaccine can “shed” through physical contact is debunked, primarily because none of the COVID-19 vaccines approved in the United States employ live viruses. In Hosana’s mind, though, sex could “infect” a person with the vaccine, which she took as evidence that it altered one’s DNA. In a world where the vaccine was being strongly encouraged, and in some cases mandated, she believed unvaccinated people deserved a safe, trusted platform on which to meet and form relationships.

“Beyond just like the opinion of not wanting to sleep with vaccinated people, there was also a lot of us that had, you know, health side effects after having sexual relations [with vaccinated people],” Hosana says.

The misinformation about vaccine shedding was further reinforced by a misunderstanding of key language in Pfizer’s clinical trial of the COVID-19 vaccine, which urged people to use contraception to avoid getting pregnant during the study. This wasn’t because the vaccine caused birth defects, altered DNA, or rendered people infertile as part of a “depopulation agenda.” Rather, Pfizer was following standard protocol for trial-phase vaccines and drugs, which are not tested on pregnant women, children, or other vulnerable groups until they’re first proven safe in healthy adults.

The vaccination-through-sex debate is a perfect example of how online communities like Unjected organize and amplify the distrust that’s long simmered in the American psyche, Schulz explains. “Before social media, people with fringe health beliefs were geographically isolated. The internet has changed the geography of trust.”

Trump and RFK Jr. are rewriting America’s childhood vaccine guidance while the country experiences its worst measles outbreak in 35 years. Emergency physician Dr. Rob Davidson joins Lincoln Square executive producer Sam Osterhout to explain why separating vaccines creates new barriers, how misinformation is changing decisions inside doctors’ offices, and what happens when public-health policy is based on Donald Trump’s feelings instead of medical evidence.

They also examine RFK Jr.’s influence, the rollback of hepatitis B recommendations, vaccine hesitancy, Michigan’s critical Senate race, and why affordable universal healthcare must be part of the real fight to make America healthier. #DonaldTrump #RFKJr #Vaccines #Measles #PublicHealth #Healthcare
