An mRNA cancer cure is the next trillion dollar medical innovation that can save millions of lives and the US pulling the plug on researchers getting close to it is basically the stupidest move possible.
I hate that medical care in the US is profit driven but president business letting the Netherlands or China finish mRNA cures out from under the US is quite the own goal.
"we were like 2-3 years away from finishing landmark cures that would change the medical field forever, but the leader wanted to put another coat of gold paint on his ballroom so instead he canceled the funding" is something you might read in a gilded age novel
@mathowie Many of the current administrations voters are at the "find out" stage of life right now.
@davidherrold @mathowie If only the rest of us didn't need to find out as well.
@mikemccaffrey Yeah, unfortunately we're all in that terrifying rollercoaster now. Some people are screaming "I HAD NO IDEA" and others are screaming "I TOLD YOU SO" but the coaster isn't stopping anytime soon.
