This is NOT a Covid article. It’s about mRNA. “They” have ginormous plans for mRNA technology. Eventually it will be used to treat everything except death. Eventually it will even replace Ex-lax. “Can’t take a shit? Get an mRNA shot!!”. That’s some mind-boggling shit, Maynard. The article ends with a commentary that the only thing now holding back all this healthy and safe progress is “bravery“. In other words, it’s all you chicken-shit anti-vax cowards who are keeping millions of people from living healthy productive lives!! I’ve had the shot plus 4 boosters, and I never felt better. So, grow some balls, take the shot, or just get the fuck out of Dodge.

How mRNA vaccines could target everything from cancer to the plague
Imagine visiting your doctor for a routine checkup, and on top of the usual shots — the annual flu or COVID vaccine—your doctor asks if you’d like to be vaccinated for cancer. All cancer— lung, skin, colon, you name it — with just one mildly uncomfortable jab in the arm.
That scenario, which sounds like something out of science fiction, might be closer than you think. And it’s mostly thanks to the COVID vaccine – which in a few short years has become the highest-profile of the increasingly influential family known as mRNA vaccines.
Indeed, mRNA vaccines designed to treat cancer (among other diseases) “are quite realistic,” says Anna Blakney, an RNA researcher at the University of British Columbia.
And cancer is just the tip of the iceberg. Earlier this month, scientists Edo Kon and and Dan Peer from Tel Aviv University and the Israel Institute for Biological Research announced that they’d created a single dose vaccine that could effectively protect people from Yersinia pestis bacterium. Haven’t heard of it? That’s because it’s better known (at least in the Middle Ages) as the plague — a disease that still kills thousands in Asia and parts of Africa each year.
.Anna Blakney, an RNA researcher at the University of British Columbia, says we are currently in the midst of an “mRNA renaissance.”.
The plague might not be something that keeps you up at night, but there are likely plenty of infectious diseases that do, and somewhere in the world, scientists are working (and getting amazingly close) to developing mRNA-based vaccines that could potentially make the disease you fear the most obsolete.
Blakney describes it as a RNAissance. ”Scientists are exploring the use of mRNA for many different applications,” she says, not just in treating cancer and COVID but “enzyme replacement therapies, immunotherapies, you name it.” These medicines “will be game changers in the years to come,” she says.
It may seem like these advances have arrived staggeringly fast, but researchers have been experimenting with mRNA treatments for decades. “Scientists first started studying mRNA vaccines in 1990,” says Blakney. “The first RNA vaccine clinical trial was started in 2009.”
.Dan Peer, a scientist at Tel Aviv University, is part of a team that developed a new mRNA-based vaccine that could help prevent plague..
But then came the pandemic, and its urgency meant “bureaucratic red tape was reduced,” says Keith Knutson, a professor of immunology at the Mayo Clinic who researches and develops cancer vaccines. “It resulted in critical re-evaluation of some of the rules, regulations, and procedures that guide drug development.”
We’re not talking about the types of regulatory mechanisms that protect the consumer from unsafe drugs, but rules around “how we get things done,” he says. “It forced us to do things better and more efficiently.” Adds Knutson, a specialist in ovarian and breast cancer immunotherapies, “the pandemic pushed RNA from an emerging star to a superstar.”
