mRNA vaccine shows promise for treating age-related macular degeneration

Shhhhhh…..don’t tell RFK, Jr & tRUMP!

As reported by Medical X-press:

Abstract: “ An mRNA vaccine developed by researchers from Japan suppressed abnormal blood vessel growth or neovascularization in the retina of mouse models. Neovascularization is a condition that is caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss for elderly people. The vaccine can be delivered intramuscularly and is as effective as current therapies that require frequent eye injections, offering a more comfortable and easier-to-administer alternative for treating AMD and other neovascular eye diseases.”

RFK, Jr was largely responsible for canceling federal funding for research into mRNA vaccines which are a breakthrough technology showing great promise in safe treatments as therapies for and prevention of previously difficult conditions to treat.

Instead of America being on the leading edge of medical breakthroughs, tRUMP and Kennedy have relegated us to third world status.

There are so many potential.applications for the technique.

@samueltyler2 You’re absolutely correct! It’s an amazing advancement and an especially huge advance in protecting against pandemics as the vaccines are almost “boilerplate” allowing for much faster research & development, testing, and rapid roll out and distribution.

Unfortunately Secretary BRAINWORM was appointed just as this technology was coming of age and he’s cut the funding for numerous projects.

Of course he’s also cut the funding for our virus surveillance programs like our waste water screening which allowed earlier detection of dangerous viruses that had already arrived before they became clinically apparent.

The average citizen just doesn’t realize the enormous damage he’s already caused. If “a dog is man’s best friend, then BRAINWORM is viruses best friend.”

God help us!

@KunsanVeteran we have taken a gigantic step backwards!

I hope the vaccine works. I'm getting injections in my eye for that condition.

@KunsanVeteran Good. I'm glad they are making progress.

@exexec He’s had only one dose so far, but the benefit is lasting longer than the intra ocular injection so far.

@KunsanVeteran That's good.

Does it mean that the US will become the land of the blind physically as well as intellectually? (Many honorable exceptions of course.)

@KunsanVeteran Sure.

@SomeMichGuy And the reasons I especially blame Cassidy:

1. He’s a physician who clearly knows the huge time proven value of vaccines (as his actions during COVID clearly prove)

2, That he knew during his questioning of Kennedy that RFK, Jr was lying to him, and that he knew that enough Republicans would follow his lead on his vote for confirmation, and…

3. That he sold out all of his constituents and future generations just to get back on tRUMP’s “good side”

In my mind, it doesn’t get much worse than that!

SomeMichGuy · M

@KunsanVeteran Agreed...

SomeMichGuy · M

Oh we are totally no longer a leader in anything other than lying, brokenness, and has-been-status

KunsanVeteran · M

@SomeMichGuy Pretty much. And the laughingstock of the world.

Thanks, MAGA voters—you know who you are!

SomeMichGuy · M

@KunsanVeteran Still sad that this could be the truth of our time...

The only thing Demented Donnie is “qualified” to do is bankrupt companies…

That’s his SUPERPOWER!
