    And breakthroughs with mrna will continue to be part of that from what I can tell.

    mrna was a flop when it comes to airborne illnesses like the flu and covid. Well, it became a flop when we idiotically pushed it on people that were at little to no risk when the technology was so young (still is). So, we destroyed the public trust. And understandably so.

    I haven't read the book and thanks will do so. I assume it is about CART therapy, and yes, it is such a good example of how govt funding in fundamental research has led to an explosion of novel therapies in hematological cancers and now moving into autoimmune diseases. These are the hidden gems that are overlooked in the DOGE mentality.

    No, this goes back earlier than CART and is about the discovery of Gleevec (imatinib) and other tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
