Is it just me or is #mhc laggy? Slow loads, slow page refreshes, occasional timeouts?
Two weekends two big Wins!
This weekend with the #ConcordiaExternalDelegation I traveled to FCMUN XVI, hosted by Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. Our team performed excellently, winning Best Large Delegation. A special shoutout should go to our brand new delegates, who joined the team this semester and still showed up with skill and grit enough to be as good as any veteran.
What a team, what a trip!

ACPE: The Standard for Spiritual Care and Education Psychotherapy Commission - ACPE SIP Training Level 1 with Flo Dewitt (internal staff training)

By May of this year another threat to personalized mRNA vaccines for cancer was coming into focus:

🔥mounting federal hostility to vaccines.

Senate Republicans convened a hearing entitled

“The Corruption of Science and Federal Health Agencies,”

featuring the false claim that as many as three out of four deaths from COVID were caused by mRNA vaccines deployed to stop the pandemic.

(In fact, COVID vaccinations saved an estimated 2.5 million lives between 2020 and 2024,
according to a study published earlier this year.)

In June, Kennedy fired all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices,
which makes recommendations on federal vaccine policy.

He eventually replaced them with his own advisory committee,
which includes several anti-vaccine stalwarts.

Kennedy has also slashed research funding for mRNA vaccines.

In August he canceled nearly $500 million supporting the development of mRNA vaccines against viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and influenza.

The move intensified the fears of researchers who want to develop mRNA vaccines for other illnesses,
among them cancer.

After my visit to Memorial Sloan Kettering, Balachandran’s team shared a chart that plotted Brigham’s immune response to her personalized mRNA vaccine.

Along the bottom, triangles marked the dates of her surgery
and each of the nine doses of the vaccine she received over the course of a year.

Above them a cluster of brightly colored lines showed the share of her body’s
T cells targeting the specific mutant proteins in her cancerous tumor.

At first, when Brigham’s tumor was removed,
cells trained to go after each cancer clone were somewhere on the order of one in 500,000 T cells in her blood.

A few months after surgery,
when she’d had four doses of the vaccine,
the lines shot up almost vertically, showing that the most common cancer fighter at that point accounted for around one in 20 to one in 50 T cells
—an increase of more than 20,000-fold.

Those T cells dipped a bit in the months before Brigham’s last booster shot,
given almost a year after her tumor was removed.

But they remained in the same range even three years on.

A phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of the vaccine in a larger patient group is currently underway.

The vaccine for Brigham’s cancer was just nine tiny vials of liquid administered through an IV,
a private message that only her immune system was meant to decode.

But the effort that delivered that coded message was a deeply collective enterprise,
one that stretches back through the hundreds of thousands of tissue samples collected,
stored and analyzed at Memorial Sloan Kettering,
-- each one taken from the body of a patient who might not have survived their cancer.

Also in that vaccine were the contributions of generations of taxpayers who never got to see these results.

Perhaps their descendants will be able to beat the disease
—if society continues to support this vital work.

Personalized mRNA Vaccines Will Revolutionize Cancer Treatment—If Federal Funding Cuts Don’t Doom Them

Vaccines based on mRNA can be tailored to target a cancer patient’s unique tumor mutations. But crumbling support for cancer and mRNA vaccine research has endangered this promising therapy
