Cancer and heart disease vaccines ‘ready by end of the decade’

> Burton said :“I think we will have mRNA-based therapies for rare diseases that were previously undruggable, and I think that 10 years from now, we will be approaching a world where you truly can identify the genetic cause of a disease and, with relative simplicity, go and edit that out and repair it using mRNA-based technology.”

Truly the future is within our grasp, and more resourcing should be going into genotyping and statistical analysis of those results to maladies, so we're ready to tweak mRNA vaccines to target those genes/SNPs. Spell checking the genome, and skate to where the puck is going to be.

Came here tonight to see what HN thought of this, people working in the field, bullshit or not?

Headline mentions "heart", but the word does not appear in the article. How will a vaccine fix plaque buildup? Or fix plaque breaking and causing strokes?

Two down, only Alheimer left... by now.

(Lost Friends and family both the hearth disease, cancer, and Alzheimer - would kill to eradicate all from the face of earth)

This is the moonshot govs need to be funding.

Assuming this plays out, I wonder if the anti vaccine subculture will react to it. If we get to a place where avoiding vaccines essentially means leaving yourself open to cancer and heart disease, how many people will still hold fast vs change their mind?

And approved by the FDA by 2040?

They'll need that to combat all the myocarditis brought on by the COVID vaccines
