Google immunotherapy bro.
Vaccines are in a golden age, except political assholes are stoking ignorance and rejection.
In fact the two are advancing together. Bespoke vaccines for your cancer in in trial now.

No it's not, but thanks for assuming.
I'll be sure call to you when I meet the first real person cured from cancer by immunotherapy. So I far I only met people who died of cancer. But if you tell me we're in a "golden age", I suppose it will be over soon.
A good friend was in a Nivo/Ipi clinical trial in 2018/19 for metastatic melanoma. Melanoma is among the most aggressive cancers - it killed my beautiful wife in about 6 months. My friend is still alive and doing well. Prior to those trials, the 3 year survival rate was 0. Today, the 5 year survival rate is 65%.
Before the anti-vax lunatics moved in and captured the narrative in social media, President Trump’s extensive funding and regulatory acceleration of the COVID vaccines saved many thousands of lives. The design of the vaccine was done in days and available in weeks. That’s a golden age.
Sorry for your loss. Happy for your friend.
I guess it's a case where the future is there, but we badly need to get it "more evenly distributed".
