A new type of vaccine based on mRNA technology is seen by many as a potential breakthrough in the fight against cancer.
We sat down with oncologist Lennard Lee to discuss why he hopes these vaccines will prove to be the “silver lining of the pandemic.”

These weren’t lazy bureaucrats doing unimportant work. They were working hard, and often for less money than they could get in the private sector, on key life-saving public health programs.
They were fired to give more money to billionaires.

Just when you thought your day (or month) couldn’t get any worse…. you pull a muscle in your neck…and well. It’s so much worse 😑. I’m not sure what this emoji I just found is supposed to be, but I think it’s what I need right now 💆🏼♀️

Posting this as a PSA. There seems to have been some article in the media about City of Hope’s Ivermectin phase 1 in TNBC. It has been open since 2021. Not looking good. Stop messaging your poor oncologist about this. It is not some miracle cure. #MedSky #CanSky
Also the entire cancer community somehow suddenly discovered a few old papers on ivermectin and are now flooding my inbox with requests for ivermectin. They site a phase 1 trial that has been open since 2021, but is totally negative and being shut down for lack of efficacy. #CanSky
