Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Huge If True

 My mother died of pancreatic cancer, and we sort of knew when the diagnosis came down that this would be her fate. It was roughly seven months from diagnosis to death.

Now, there's some trials that suggest there is an mRNA vaccine that can attack pancreatic cancer cells.

Again, there's a long way from early trials to having a treatment, but this could be the cutting edge for cancer treatments going forward.

Luckily, we don't have an anti-vax crank running HHS or a chainsaw wielding maniac ripping up Federal funding for cancer research...
