Nobel Prize Winner Seeking to Cure Cancer With mRNA Technology

Nobel Prize winner Dr. Drew Weissman talked recently about using mRNA technology to prevent the development of cancers among vulnerable people.

Dr. Weissman suggested using mRNA vaccines to prevent cancers during his Nobel Prize lecture on Dec. 7. “The idea here is that you treat people before they develop cancer,” he said. Dr. Weissman won the Nobel Prize for medicine this year along with Dr. Katalin Karikó for developing a method to prevent the immune system from launching inflammatory attacks when lab-made mRNA is injected into the body, thus enabling the therapeutic use of the medical technology.

This allowed for the rapid development of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Dr. Weissman and his team at the University of Pennsylvania are now focusing on using mRNA technology to treat cancer.

A vaccine under development by the team teaches the body to identify and fight tumor cells. The vaccine is aimed at people who have a genetic mutation which raises their risk of cancer.

For instance, BRCA is a gene that contributes to breast cancer risk. Out of the more than 18 million cancers identified globally every year, around five to 10 percent stem from genetic mutations.

The Nobel Prize winner and his team investigated methods to use mRNA to trigger an immune response in the body that would kill cancer cells.

In experiments with mice, the researchers injected mRNA that taught the body to produce a protein called IL-12. This protein directs the body to produce immune cells called effector T-cells that can remove cancer.

We know that it's five or 10 years that cancer cells first start to appear before you've got full-fledged large tumors that impair function,” Dr. Weissman said during his lecture.

“If we treat these people, maybe every 5 years, with a vaccine that only makes effector T-cells, [it] will clean out, clear away, kill all of the transformed cells and maybe completely prevent cancer from ever appearing in these patients.”

mRNA Treatments

Many pharma companies are already researching the use of mRNA for cancer therapy. This month, Moderna and Merck & Co. announced that they have begun a late-stage trial of their experimental personalized mRNA treatment for patients with a type of lung cancer.

The therapy, called v940, will be tailored for each patient individually to trigger T-cells. It will be offered in combination with the drug Keytruda. In July, the two companies kicked off a late-stage study of the combination therapy in patients with melanoma, a skin cancer.

Earlier this year, BioNTech, the company that partnered with Pfizer to make the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, said that it had signed a deal with the UK government for personalized cancer therapies.

According to the deal, up to 10,000 patients will be enrolled in clinical trials by the end of 2030. The cancer therapies will use mRNA technology in their treatments.

In addition to cancer, mRNA technology is being investigated for use in the treatment of allergies, genetic diseases, heart attack, stroke, heart failure, neurodevelopmental disorders, HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis.

Developing mRNA to vaccinate against other diseases when the existing technology has considerable flaws brings up several safety questions.

Researchers in a landmark new study have discovered a sequence within the Pfizer mRNA COVID vaccine that produces an “unintended immune response” in the body, which experts are calling a massive “developmental and regulatory failure.”

Synthetic Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA), such as that used in Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, enables the body to create a specific spike protein mimicking SARS-CoV-2. The body reacts to the foreign protein and generates protective immunity, which theoretically neutralizes the real virus when it enters the body.

Researchers from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Toxicology Unit have discovered that the cellular machinery that ‘reads’ mRNAs ‘slips’ when confronted with repeats of a chemical modification commonly found in mRNA therapeutics. In addition to the target protein, these slips lead to the production of ‘off-target’ proteins triggering an unintended immune response,” said a press release for the study published in Nature on Dec. 6.

Last week, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo demanded that federal health officials provide more info on the discovery of DNA fragments in Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines “hitchhiking into human cells.”

In a letter to officials at the CDC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), he pointed out that the presence of Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter/enhancer DNA in the vaccines poses a “heightened risk of DNA integration into host cells.”

DNA integration could theoretically impact a human’s oncogenes—the genes which can transform a healthy cell into a cancerous cell,” he warned.

There is also research showing that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines can reduce a beneficial gut bacteria called Bifidobacteria, the presence of which is associated with higher immunity against pathogens and cancer.

Pay attention to the side effects.

You do understand that the FDA requires pharmaceutical companies to list all potential side effects? That is not to say they shouldn’t but that is also not to say that every person taking the drug will get one, many or all the listed side effects.

Of all the Rx’s I’ve taken over the years, only one gave me one of the listed side effects – it was a blood pressure med (Lisinopril) that caused me to develop a dry itchy hacking cough. But I didn't have any of the other listed side effects. I called my doc and he called in an Rx for a different med and told me to stop taking the other.

Exactly, kill the patient with the mRNA clot shot before can er and you solved the cancer problem. It’s the new science.

Giving these mRNA guys the Nobel was so crazy that it is obviously an op to get them off the hook and allow implementation of some NWO agenda all the more rapidly.

mRNA is unproven.

As of June 2023 cancer diagnoses are up 1,000% on average. I suspect that it will be 2000% by the end of the year.

Cancer is Exploding because of CV19 Vax – Dr. Betsy Eads
https://usawatchdog.com/cancer-is-exploding-because-of-cv19-vax-dr-betsy-eads/
Using fresh data just on breast cancers alone posted by the American Cancer Society on Cancer.org, Dr. Eads explains, “From Cancer.org in the year 2019, for those women under 45 years old (with breast cancer), it was 26,660. It 2020, it was 26,500. In 2021 when the CV19 vax rolled out, it was 26,561. . . . Cancer was not seen in the initial rollout because it took some time for the spike protein delivery. So, in 2022, those numbers went from 26,561 to 47,000. That is a two-fold increase. That’s a direct result of the mRNA (CV19) shots. In 2023, it went up six-fold to 297,000 breast cancer cases, and we are not even done with 2023. That may be as high as 500,000 breast cancer cases. So, cancer is exploding, and there is a direct correlation to the mRNA (CV19) vaccines. . . . The data is just pouring out. The Department of Defense DMED data has cancers up 600% to 1,300%.”

And the real holder of the mRNA patents, plural, says they should not be used for gene therapy like this “nobel” weissman dude thinks. Robert Malone, MD.

Who made a lot in royalties paid to him, even as he was harrassed for saying his invention was NOT to be used the way it was, and was being sold to the public as a “preventative”. Never was. And in fact.. causing human disasters well beyond and sooner than cancer.

Eh. Just moves all the deaths into easier to manage groups.

It gets confusing to say people died of pneumonia, the flu, the cold, etc.

If you can lump them all into “COVID-19” it makes it all easier to manage.

Then, if you lump them all into Vaccine Related Deaths (which can be denied by them saying there is no proof) it makes it easier still.

Now, with moving all cancer deaths under Vaccine Related Deaths (VRD) and merging that with the existing Vaccine Related Deaths (And subsequently changing the category description to “Unknown Etiology Deaths”) makes it clearer still.

The DOJ already wants to move crime-related deaths into this “Unknown Etiology Death” (UED) because having crime statistics broken down by race is, well, racism and being part of the law-abiding segments of those populations causes any number of issues from increased suicides to the loss of self esteem.

Can’t have that.

Yes...I am being sarcastic, but sarcasm seems to have no effect on the Left either.

My comment was regarding that they’re now ADMITTING mRNA provokes an immune response (first time I’ve read that), but your corollary is a point well taken.

I truly believe that they’ve adopted a new strategy to control human population and cull the herd; I may live long enough to see the effects thereof.

--- "Nobel Prize Winner Seeking to Cure Cancer With mRNA Technology" ---

"Nobel Prize Winner" as a phrase and citation lost any and all respect after the 'wondrous' Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize and then proceeded to bomb and bomb and bomb.

The same idea of the Will Smith movie, I am Legend, researcher creates cancer cure it turns 99 percent of the folks into undead zombies.

Art meet life

These guys wont be happy to they kill us all

I mourn for so many with cancer who only suffer needlessly for lack of knowledge.

Have you heard? No, I’m not a doctor, but I read and research a lot. The medicine below is safe, highly used for decades, even available over the counter at Tractor Supply stores.

Both drugs below fight cancer, inducing cancer cells to commit suicide (Apoptosis).
Experts and researchers continue to find additional uses for these common drugs.

Ivermectin
Fenbendazole

I don’t think I have cancer but I tried Ivermectin, over 10 days 1/4 ounce tube, no noticeable side effects.

I think it’s worth telling people and let them decide if they want to try it. I’d say after 20 years of praying for people like below with cancer, it is the most feared and most often requested prayer request. Also I always pray for miraculous healing first and praise God for so many - though I know not how many were healed.
