As an outdoor enthusiast in the thin air and bright sunshine of Colorado, I will be right there in line when they make this available.

Speaking of best use of resources for science: bsky.app/profile/kevi...

As a melanoma survivor some ~20+ years on, I fist pumped reading this.

When can we g o to CVS and get it??!

Let’s hope this work continues offshore so the GOP can’t quash it.

I know too many who died from metastatic melanoma. This is amazing.

Some Good News -- WOW‼️...This is WONDERFUL‼️💙‼️

But, but, it’s a mRNA vaccine they will say.

One of my best friends died from melanoma at 39. This is such great news.

Hurray!

See my post above Thank you and thanks to your attending

Great news, provided Big Pharma isn't greedy.

Once more, mRNA tech for the win. Let’s hope the idiot running HHS doesn’t kill it.

As long as it’s not available to anyone who voted for him.

A new Covid winter wave is here. Get your booster and stop eating animals for good. www.theguardian.com/world/2020/j...

Dear #Australia you up?

Science rocks!

I suspect in 10 years most cancer will be cured while is mad

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Yep. This👆👆 Every surgery I have had, started with a biopsy. Instead of „Ok, we need to make a 3 cm cut in your face. Ooops sorry. The boundaries weren‘t clean, so we need to do it again.“ It could be „Ok, you need this shot“. 👍👍👍

Wonder how many vax hesitants that will magically change

Bobby Jr., with all his sun worship and tanning booth patronage, should be applauding such a vaccine innovation and would certainly make use of it if needed, but he probably will have nothing good to say about it while he works to defund and block mRNA vaccine development.

'The company's name is derived from the terms "modified", "RNA", and "modern"' TIL

@anamariecox.com Is the vaccine preventative or a treatment? It's paywalled to me.

Love it!!!

Meanwhile MAHA types are boycotting sunscreen 🤷

Sounds like it will give me autism. No thanks

Investors, of course, lopped 20% of Moderna’s stock price because efficacy isn’t as high as they’d like. Tell that to a cancer patient. Nearly halving the odds of recurrence is huge.

Hey, @sailorrooscout.bsky.social OwO

I’ve had skin cancer and it’s painful—after numbness wears off after having part of yourself removed — and the risk never goes away. Cartilage HURTS after surgery. I had to shave on side of my hair at 4 am because it was touching my bandage. My ear closed up because of swelling.

Thanks, some good info for a subject way over my head, mRNA vaccines are brilliant that's all I know, and we're just starting with them, imagine 10yr down the line what we'll have cured, it's amazing and it gives you hope.

As a sun worshiper when I was young and dumb, OMG! Sign me up!

This is apropos of nothing, but I was struggling with a pesky skin rash and three days after my Moderna Covid shot it completely disappeared. My doc and my dermatologist couldn’t explain it. It has never returned.

Any mention of side effects? You can’t have a vaccine without side effects.

I had a friend saved with the experimental phase of this ❤️

This breakthrough shows the power of public science! But medical progress means nothing if blocked by corporate greed. A social democracy must ensure public funding drives life-saving innovation and guarantee universal, free access so treatments benefit all humanity, not private profit.

Melanoma took my brother. He was a big believer in science, too.

Gift link: wapo.st/4et1aQB. WSJ ran with the "STOCK DROP!!" headline due to overly inflated expectations about the drug's performance in trials but the stock is still up hugely since August because this really is a fab development.

Yay science!

MORE SCIENCE,GO SCIENCE

To every scientific breakthrough announcement, my mind adds the words "for the rich"

Science

They will have to already have had the cancer, which may concentrate their minds a little: bsky.app/profile/rois...

This is exciting! my sil died from this rip Cindy🕯️

No doubt RFK will find a way to fuck this up.

Don’t tell Kennedy Jnr!

This is the kind of research Moderna had been working on when COVID showed up. They had the toolset and applied to diseases. They’re just now getting back to targeting your personal cancer given a biopsy.

Great for everyone else in the world. Our insurance will deny for us.

All the new treatments for cancer are amazing; sadly, this administration has brought all science & research back to zero funding and support.

I had melanoma in 05. Scary stuff. My wife noticed it on my back just in time. Mere mm’s from entering my bloodstream. This is fantastic news for everyone!

I've had both. (Got tested for covid yesterday - PAs being extra thorough - and nope, not my medical problem.)

Had melanoma. Fully recovered. Would do the vaccine right now.

Thank you !

I had melanoma in between two toes, which was only discovered when a dermatologist and did a thorough mole check. As soon as she pointed it out, I knew what it was, but who looks there? So go to the dermatologist regularly, especially if you’re in your 50s and up.
