Good news, thanks for posting.
If these jokers had ever seen someone die of glioma of the brainstem when there was absolutely no effective treatment,
they wouldn’t think this helmet was so funny.

I have. My father’s sister lived just over 5 years after being diagnosed with oglioma. At the end, she died a horrible death that I would not wish on anyone. I do remember one experimental treatment involving her wearing a helmet while in a hospital room for several days and nobody could be within a certain distance to her. It didn’t help her for long.

My wife just completed surgery to remove a massive glioblastoma tumor from her frontal lobe. They got all but a small piece. That doesn’t actually buy as much time as one would think.

She starts radiation and chemo in about 10 days and it lasts for 6 weeks. That is followed by more chemo. The tumor will grow back again and again until no treatment helps. They mentioned a device called Optune as a way to stop or slow the cancer growth using some type of electrical field. Just getting into the treatment options and nothing looks long lasting. If this helmet can kill the cancer, it will be a game changer.
