Coronavirus treatments and vaccines thread

[Winehole23]

immunogenic mRNA treatment for pancreatic cancer is now on the back burner because of folklorical and political backlash to COVID vaccines

Six years after treatment, Gustafson and six others who responded to the treatment are still alive, along with two of the eight people who did not respond. Two of the responders, including the one who died, had a cancer recurrence; Gustafson’s cancer has not come back.

“The most important finding here is that the people who mount a response to the vaccine live longer than those who do not,” said Dr. William Freed-Pastor, a physician-scientist at Dana-Farber Cancer Ins ute, who was not involved with the trial. He cautioned, however, that the results come from a very small group of patients. More research is still needed.

Bhattacharya es CDC study showing COVID vaccines likely kept people out of the hospital

Seems the MAGA solution to politicization is to politicize things top to bottom along Trumpian lines

The study, conducted by C.D.C. scientists, calculated the effectiveness of Covid shots by looking at the vaccination status of people who had sought care at hospitals and emergency rooms. It found that vaccination cut the likelihood of emergency visits due to Covid by 50 percent and of hospitalizations by 55 percent, according to a summary of the study viewed by The New York Times.

It was scheduled to be published on March 19 in The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the C.D.C.’s flagship journal. News of its cancellation was reported earlier by The Washington Post.

Some former C.D.C. officials said it was unusual for the head of the agency to cancel a scientific publication that had already been cleared by the agency’s staff scientists and had been scheduled for publication.
