I missed this before, but apparently we're now nearly a year into Merck and Moderna's Phase-3 trials of a novel mRNA vaccine (mRNA-4157) in combination with Keytruda to slow or halt aggressive melanoma growth. (press release), and about 4 months into a similar Phase 3 trial of the same drug combo for small cell lung cancer (press release). Here's hoping that 2025 is the year we cure (some kinds of) cancer!

Exactly. That’s my thought.

Cure for cancer: yes. Support of this thing that made my god emperor look bad: no, on pain of my own death. Alternatively, support of this thing that made me extremely uncomfortable and robbed me of some life choices: no, even if it kills me. I will twist it around so theyre somehow not the same tech.

Granted, there’s always the flat earther, dinosaurs bones are trolling fakes, chem trails, and the moon landing was another troll on all of humanity types. They’re probably all in on the Bill Gates cares enough about you to track you via nanites in the vaccine. I mean, why not? If you believe any of the other is the vaccine hype all that big of a stretch from there?

Actual risk? Someone lives on the tippy tails of the bell curve, or there wouldn’t be a bell curve. There’s no such thing as a 100% with people, or medical care outcomes. Except eventual death. (I’m subtracting taxes because sovereign citizens really do try their best on that one.)

All of that said, people are at deaths door a lot in hospital and will still refuse life saving care.

Amputating gangrene is one. Not taking lactulose. Not taking diuretics. Guzzling sugar with diabetes. Having a hemoglobin of 5 and continuing to refuse blood that might be from a COVID vaccinated person. So why not refuse this too?
