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.

I stopped by The Incubator to have a little chat with my PhD mentor @microbetv.bsky.social about H5N1 bird flu.
I guess I’m all grown up as a virologist now that my teacher is asking me questions, but as Prof. Racaniello taught me, you should never stop learning ❤️🦠

What would happen if your immune system would be damaged due to COVID-19, and you receive a vaccine afterwards? Yeah,.... it wouldn´t work. But it does!

Former DOJ lawyer Erez Reuveni was ordered to tell a judge that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was an MS-13 gang member and terrorist. "That is not factually correct."
Reuveni: "They did everything to him in violation of his due process rights. What's to stop them if they decide they don't like you anymore?"
