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.

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

@FreddieUK Well, the denial of science since the 15th century assures the employment of blood-letters...

@SomeMichGuy And the resurgence of measles deaths & permanent complications, polio, meningitis, cervical cancers, neonatal hepatitis & subsequent liver failures, etc.

But for all of their “achievements” you won’t see tRUMP, Kennedy, or especially Cassidy take any “credit” or responsibility for them at all…. In fact, what you will see is endless deniability and blaming of Democrats…

SomeMichGuy · M

@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...
