I absolutely love that this person it enamored with butterflies enough that they recognized this descrepancy in the way they are depicted in advertisements.
I would argue that we all are, but I'm definitely crinkling my eyebrows a bit about the idea of living in a barrel and subsisting on a steady diet of onions
Either this is a bad-faith comment or you don't understand the difference between how immune systems would attack cancerous tumors vs. how they would attack a coronavirus.
In the latter case, the virus is often not the same strain that the vaccine was created for and may have mutated defenses against immune response.
Seems to me it's normal to be skeptical of unproven claims, especially when the only precedent didn't do the thing being claimed. Anything is possible, but there is certainly not any precedent at this point. I find it super weird when we see these "what's next for mRNA" articles, when it didn't actually solve a problem. It's almost like they were written right when the vaccines first came out and looked really promising, and then nobody followed up.
Cure one thing with mRNA, even one already solved like polio or something, and then maybe we can say it works and build on that. A failed covid vaccine is not really a milestone that supports further uses
Billions of people have taken Covid vaccines. If the thousands of resulting studies don't "prove" anything to you, then you've already decided what to believe and have no interest in what the data says.
> the only precedent didn't do the thing being claimed
What? "Cure" the disease? According to literally every expert, no vaccine is 100% effective[1]. If your big "gotcha" is that Covid wasn't cured by the vaccines, I hate to break it to you: that's a straw man, not something anyone with an understanding of the immune system claimed.
What the vaccines did do was dramatically reduce hospitalizations and deaths, which is what they were supposed to do.
> and then nobody followed up
Are you fucking kidding me? You honestly think "no one followed up" on whether Covid vaccines work? You think the manufacturers didn't repeatedly report results, governments didn't investigate it, and every public health agency ignored it?
> Cure one thing with mRNA, even one already solved like polio or something, and then maybe we can say it works and build on that.
Again, you seem to fundamentally misunderstand what vaccines do and how they work.
We've already seen immunotherapy cure cancers. It doesn't work for everyone though. The purpose of the mRNA cancer vaccines is to more easily administer immunotherapy (by "training" the immune system to attack cancerous cells) which we know will not cure 100% of people.

You can do a drive by if you're interested. We travelled down to see Salvation Mountain (which I think is worth a look), stopped at Bombay Beach and drove past Slab City. If it wasn't for Salvation Mountain, I don't know if I'd bother.
Driving through Wonder Valley elsewhere in California is interesting, and then reading about why almost every building is exactly the same size.
There are several documentaries set in Slab City or nearby towns Niland and Bombay Beach -- I found all of them fascinating. Sorry, don't remember titles.
A safer alternative destination might be the Fountain of Youth Spa, which has been there since at least the 1970s. But I'd check the recent reviews, and hold off until November at least.
