Apparently, DR. Tracy Beth Hoeg is doing several things in FDA in tension with her responsibilities in CDER.
I have heard that she is pulling people from CDER to dive through VAERS report; as a reminder, CDER has important safety responsibilities and a lot of work. 1/3

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Establishing long-lasting vaccine immunity: insights from mRNA and adjuvanted protein platforms | npj Vaccines
Durable vaccine-induced immunity is the basis of long-term protection against infection and disease. This review covers three topics. First, we describe the immunological foundations of durable response and its determinants (e.g., vaccine design, host, and pathogen factors). Second, we summarize the current evidence regarding the durable immune responses conferred by mRNA- and adjuvanted protein-based vaccine platforms. Lastly, we discuss the challenges in developing durable mRNA vaccines and outline future considerations.
