In 8 of 16 patients studied, the vaccines activated T cells that recognize the patient’s own pancreatic cancers. These patients also showed delayed recurrence of their pancreatic cancers, suggesting the T cells activated by the vaccines may be having the desired effect to keep pancreatic cancers in check.

Good news, but the headline lacks nuance.

Blatant skepticism replaced with cautious optimism

Same, this big catchy over optimistic and click bait headlines make me automatically really suspicious of the claims. Great news if the second trial goes well

I'm old enough to know from countless sensationalized headlines that most if not all newly announced alleged medical breakthroughs will never reach the public, at least not anyone without at least millions of dollars.

I'm also not that old.

Yes, 16 people is not relevant enough for anything.

mRNA? Oh boy the anti vaxxers are going have have their heads explode.

Great news though as that's a pretty common cancer.

mRNA is going to go down in history as the most important medical breakthrough ever. It seems to not have limits
