    This is great + well-deserved, plus it has the side benefit of making some of the world’s worst people really, really mad.

    This is very well-earned. mRNA vaccines are a huge medical breakthrough that we’re just scratching the surface of. Personalized mRNA vaccines against pancreatic cancer have already started human trials that have put cancer into complete remission in most patients. I’m excited to see where this technology goes. Imagine cancer becoming something easily treatable with a simple course of vaccines.

      He was right about that—and more—treating COVID symptoms.

      I’ve got a Philips 85W up my ass right now, and I don’t dare cough.

        Death tends to mitigate most symptoms of any disease.

          Studies show that 100% of people who injected high doses of bleach didn’t die of COVID. Checkmate, jabbers.

    They saved millions of lives. Republicans hate them.
