Just announced: Trump & RFKjr announce âwarâ on âquack doctors and nursesâ and âthose who kill our unbornâ and deploy ICE to raid their offices, arrest those responsible, and imprison them for nine months, as âpaybackâ for those âmurders.â
The treatment takes a step towards a universal cancer vaccine by making multiple cancers more susceptible to current immunotherapies.
Cancer puts up a formidable defense. As cancer cells grow, they pump out molecules that weaken and confuse attacking immune cells, lowering their ability to fight off tumors.
A team from the University of Florida have now found a way to âwake upâ the immune system, such that immune cells regain their cancer-fighting abilities. An injection made with the mRNA technology used in Covid vaccinesâwith some small tweaksâpaired up with a commonly used cancer immunotherapy medication to destroy skin, bone, and brain tumors in mice.
The treatment differs from previous anti-cancer drugs. Rather than directly targeting cancer cells, mRNA vaccines generate proteins that signal the presence of cancers and rev up the immune system. Because theyâre not specific to any one type of cancer, the strategy could bolster immunotherapy treatment of multiple cancers.
The âvery unexpected and excitingâ finding âis a proof of concept that these vaccines potentially could be commercialized as universal cancer vaccines to sensitize the immune system against a patientâs individual tumor,â said Elias Sayour, who led the study, in a press release.
Exactly. A while back, maybe late 2025, we were playing around with AI, as it was supposed to be this new "great" tool. We asked for peer-reviewed articles on specific mental health topics. References looked good until we searched for the actual articles - non-existent. The AI app asks, "Is this good, or shall I try again?" Try again, Beaver Cleaver. And again, fake articles. Tried a third time. Confirmed that AI is worthless for factual resources.

After a presidential election that saw an 82-year-old commander in chief unable to complete sentences in a debate or instill confidence in the public that he could carry out his duties, elected leaders in Congress are faring no better.
In the past two months alone, 82-year-old Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) was discovered to be living in an assisted-living facility with a dementia ward in her final months in office; 74-year-old Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) won a high-profile leadership position on the House Oversight Committee after revealing he is battling highly terminal esophageal cancer; 82-year-old Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) fell twice on Capitol Hill just months after blacking out during a press conference; 84-year-old former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) fell and broke her hip in Luxembourg; and 76-year-old Rep. John Larson (D-CT) appeared to suffer a stroke on the House floor. (Larsonâs staff has said it was a bad reaction to a new medication.)
What has eluded attention is the highly secretive hospital, housed on Capitol Hill and funded by taxpayers, that provides both emergency and primary care to an aging political class, which some have come to describe as a gerontocracy. It also runs classified programs known only to some members of Congress. (...)
Pfizer hikes price of COVID antiviral Paxlovid from $530 to nearly $1,400
Yes. But... can they simply do it like that? Of course!
A Pfizer spokesperson told the Journal that "pricing for Paxlovid is based on the value it provides to patients, providers, and health care systems due to its important role in helping reduce COVID-19-related hospitalizations and deaths."
