MRNA vaccines for cancer, HIV and others. Moderna clinical trials have been real good.

Imagine getting a cancer diagnosis, then 30 days later getting a tailored treatment that eliminated the cancer.

Also vote. Because one party system has decided to side with anti vaxxers. The other has not. Cancer numbers have been steadily rising, second only to heart disease as a cause of death. There is a solid chance you're going to get cancer.

Voting is mandatory here. So no need to tell me to vote.

And I'm not sure which party is anti Vax.

In the US? I think it is quite easy to tell which one is against vaccinations (hint: the one with Trump)

Do you know about preferential voting? It makes the 2 party system not so bad.
