We are in the midst of what many consider the most promising pancreatic cancer cure research in decades. This is literally joining the War on Cancer on the side of cancer. It's happening in multiple departments. They're also attacking mRNA fax science which is the heart of the possible breakthrough.
They just cut $20M of pancreatic cancer research from DoD. Who the hell could be thinking they won’t be targeted?

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

80% of pancreatic cancer research comes from the federal government—funding that’s now at risk. Don’t let progress stop. 🚫💜

Tell Congress: Protect and increase research funding NOW! Take two minutes to message your members of Congress and share why this matters to you. p2a.co/PDtC4d7
