RFK, Jr. will make sure Americans can’t get it.

What if the life saving cancer treatment gives the patient autism?!

forget about the cure for cancer, they have a cure for neurotypicals

Tell him it cures Autism too.

Since there is absolutely 0 evidence that’s a thing, we don’t have to worry about it at all. The only people who worry about it are sad victims of misinformation.

Try putting it in a Hydroxychloroquine box.

it will also cost next to nothing in every country in the world, but be in the hundreds of thousands USD for Americans.

Vaccines are a vital threat to non-regulated supplements he is peddling.

Please don’t besmirch cantaloupes like that.

Do they not yet know the relative effectiveness of this treatment? It wasn’t mentioned or I missed it.

It’s great that it’s faster to administer, really, but if the outcomes are not as good…

Immunotherapy has been making stunning progress so I’d wager positive results

Could someone remind me the difference between a vaccine and treatment. For some reason I thought a vaccine was a preventative measure to keep from getting something - but this seems to be described as a treatment for when you’re diagnosed?

catloaf@lemm.ee on 04 May 2025 04:23 next collapse

You’re correct. This is bad reporting.

It’s immunotherapy that prevents the cancers from deactivating the immune cells that would ordinarily kill the cancer cells. So it’s like a traditional vaccine in that it causes changes to the immune system to better equip it to fight disease, but it’s a pretty new methodology of accomplishing that.

Am I screwed now because there’s no way my insurance would approve a preventative measure or am I screwed later if/when I am diagnosed and insurance won’t approve the treatment?

You guys are getting diagnosed?!?

As great as it sounds, the article is leaving out a lot of information. This drug has been available since 2014 in the US for certain cancers. My Mom was on it before she passed from cancer. The big news from this is that it will now be available in an injection, instead of an infusion.

Anyone else read this as “now available on VHS” and instantly get transported back into the '90s?

_bac@lemmy.world on 05 May 2025 05:07 collapse

Its not a vaccine.
