Great news! I read a while back that the Moderna team are working on a cure for cancer. Thank you for the post.

People have been searching for a cancer vaccine for decades. The game changer has come from MRNA technology that gave us a Covid shot in a remarkably short time. If governments throw billions at PCa with these companies we could possibly see another miraculous breakthrough. Thanks for the post!

[Nusch in reply to Rolphs]

Yes, I trust they are on the right track!

Does that mean we don't have to wear a mask in the coffin?

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Might mean sitting in the PC treatment suite, we don't have to wear those bl###y masks, I wear glasses, they steam up all the time😤😤🤭🤭

[j-o-h-n]

Your steam is because you're breathing too hard looking at those lovely nurses....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Thanks for posting Nusch.... time for another vax!

"In summary, our study demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein reduced the survival of prostate cancer cells through inhibition of proliferation and promotion of apoptosis. Our data indicates that the mechanisms included downregulation of pro-proliferative molecule CDK4 and upregulation of pro-apoptotic molecule FasL. These results suggest a potential additional benefit of COVID-19 vaccination by providing a means of exposing prostate cancer cells to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The clinical utility of this data is also tempered by the fact that there still remains uncertainty as to how widely the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein distributes following vaccination, and for how long."

I immediately thought "why not get a booster twice a year? It wouldn't even need to work on the COVID-19 anymore!"

But, I know... What we don't know can hurt us. Wait for more science👍

[Nusch in reply to Lewellen]

Actually I get my booster around every 8 months. Because Covid isn’t over as well.

Well I guess if it works, we did see a reduction in pca over the next year

[Nusch in reply to chickgreen]

Don’t think, the vaccine can prevent PC. But if it slows progress, it would be great. To seeing this in statistics will take a while.
