Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 ...and here I thought it was all about cigars and baseball :woot: USA is about to get Cuba's lung cancer vaccine Closer American ties with one of the world's major cigar exporters could actually be good news in the fight against lung cancer. Cuba has developed Cimavax, an effective lung cancer vaccine, and American researchers can now finally get their hands on it, reports Wired. After New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo visited Cuba for a trade mission last month, the Buffalo-based Roswell Park Cancer Institute struck a deal with Havana's Center of Molecular Immunology to develop a vaccine, allowing clinical trials involving Cimavax to begin in the US, Bloomberg reports. Cimavax, which stops tumors from growing, was 25 years in the making and has been available for free to Cuban patients since 2011, Wired reports.

More money to be made in the US if we don't find a cure. I have zero facts behind it and don't read any conspiracy blogs, but this is one I unfortunately believe.

I have zero facts behind it and don't read any conspiracy blogs, but this is one I unfortunately believe. 1000% in agreement. There's very little doubt in my mind we have cures for cancer (or at least some forms) and probably even AIDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Anthony Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Wasn't Magic Johnson cured. No he just takes his medicine. People who respond well to antiretrovirals, which is most of the population, go on to pretty much live a full life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
