Potentially Good News

It has been revealed that a study, performed with mice, has had shockingly positive results with the eradication of several types of Cancer with a Cancer Vaccine.

Essentially the vaccine is injected directly into a tumor, activating the body's own T cells to recognize and eliminate the Cancer cells in that specific tumor. Then, once that tumor has been eliminated, those T cells travel throughout the body, targeting other tumors that have the same Cancer cells that were present in the initial tumor.

The study has led to beginning clinical trials in humans.

This could be huge.

I do have to say that I am heartbroken at the overwhelmingly negative reaction on social media. I am not so naïve to think that corruption does not occur in levels of medicine and medical research, but the amount of people who immediately put down a potentially monumental advancement is staggering. The arguments of 'suppressing the cure', that no one but the filthy rich will be able to afford it, the idea that 'Big Pharma' will never let it reach the public, or that 'Hemp Oil' cures all types of Cancers but that it isn't acknowledged because 'there is no money in it' - are numerous. And tragic. I believe it is healthy to have a small dose of cynicism, or realism, or to be skeptical until the human trials have been successful and we start seeing positive results in the lives of everyday sufferers, but this kind of discovery; this kind of research, is a positive thing!!

I wonder how the anti-vaccination movement supporters will respond to such a study...
