Federal and state officials targeting messenger RNA, or mRNA vaccines, restricting who may receive existing mRNA vaccines and, in some places, proposing laws against the vaccines has cancer researchers worried.

Groundbreaking research is currently underway that holds the promise of one day soon curing cancer, a paradigm shift in how we treat cancers that could be stopped cold by Secretary Robert F. Dead Brain Worm and Dementia Don as the Trump administration ignores scientists at the FDA and limits access to some mRNA vaccines.

Research on mRNA cancer vaccines has been under way for more than a decade, with more than 120 clinical trials on treating and preventing cancers. mRNA shots have shown promise for preventing the return of head and neck cancer; lymphoma; breast cancer, which accounts for 11.6% of all cancer deaths in the US; colorectal cancer; lung cancer; and kidney cancer, among others.

Pancreatic cancer has a 10% survival rate and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the US, but in a small study, about half of the patients who received an mRNA vaccine did not see their cancer return, and they still had strong immune responses three years later.

Early mRNA vaccine trials also indicated the recurrence of melanoma could be cut in half. And a small study co-authored by Sayour on glioblastoma showed the vaccines started affecting the tumors within 48 hours.


Health and human services secretary, Robert F Dead Brain Worm, fired 17 vaccine advisers and replaced them with individuals who doubt the safety of mRNA vaccines, and Mad King Donald has shitcanned research grants studying a wide range of diseases, including cancer, and it's just a matter of time before mRNA research is, well, you know, verboten.

Anyone remember that Kate McKinnon SNL skit, "Hillary Actually," a parody of the movie "Love Actually" in which McKinnon as Hillary makes a last minute pitch with cue cards to an elector? Her cards say: “I know you’re an elector. And on December 19th, you’re supposed for vote for Donald Trump. But bish, he cray. He's refusing security briefings. He's already provoked the Chinese. ... Listen. I know I lost the election. And we may never know why. *cough* RUSSIA *cough* But I still care about this country. You don't even have to vote for me. I'm coo. Just vote for literally anyone else. Like John Kasich. Tom Hanks. Zendaya. The Rock. A rock. Yes, you'll incur a $1,000 fine. But to that I say <shows her a check> HA. HA. HA. HA. I'll let you go now. But just know this. You is kind. You is smart. You is important. Is that this movie? I've literally never seen a movie. Anyway. Enjoy your holidays. But keep in mind. If Donald Trump becomes president. He will kill us all.

Jeez.

Hillary was right about all things Trump.

And that stupid shit is going to kill people.

Since I am currently battling stage four cancer, I take this personally.

But you should, too.

Stage 4? My tonsil cancer sounds mild compared to any cancer that's at stage 4. Happy to have you here and be able to read your thoughts. I had one acquaintance who recovered and is doing well. Thanks for being here.

Well, we're fighting the good fight, right? My next blood work is on the 24th and we'll see what's what then. Fingers crossed that my aggressive treatment -- eight weeks since my last round of chemo -- keeps me above ground for a good, long time. And that mRNA research continues despite this administration's cruel desire to defund those efforts.

Good luck with your own battle.
