I've been asked about this paper (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) enough times that I finally had to read it.
The basic claim is that mRNA vaccines had huge synergistic benefit with checkpoint blockade against lung cancer melanoma.
tl;dr it's glam-slop & everyone involved should be embarrassed

Due to the freeze on credit card use, my laboratory (in the FDA) risks losing the contents of our liquid nitrogen tanks which store INVALUABLE samples-they cannot be replaced, so they are literally priceless, and reflect about 50 years worth of research.

Afternoon sessions, no better 😕 Venues need to be pushed on this and held accountable.
Loving #HSR24, but @hsraanz.bsky.social can we do something about the poor ventilation in the meeting rooms? I recorded this in Meeting Room 3. These CO2 levels not only represent a real risk of this becoming a superspreader event, it makes people sleepy!

This is a big leap from ‘it doesn’t affect kids’.
