A customized Moderna Inc. vaccine combined with a Merck & Co. cancer drug helped ward off the recurrence of the skin cancer melanoma after surgery in patients in a mid-stage clinical trial, the companies said.

The companies said Tuesday the combination of Moderna’s personalized cancer vaccine and Merck’s Keytruda cancer immunotherapy reduced patients’ risk of relapse or death by about 44%, versus Keytruda alone, in the 150-volunteer study.

Based on past experience with these ‘trials’ and all the data, results and effects WITHHELD, some requested to be held for 75 years, I’m not inclined to believe a damned thing these companies say or believe any of the ancillary benefits they’re indicating their ‘vaccines’ may have. The FDA approval process used to take up to 9 years. Now it’s next to nothing as long as enough money is thrown the right way.

Moderna has NEVER had ANY of its vaccines (all that it works on) been given normal FDA approval based on usual studies. The only thing it has ever been able to make money on is the Covid jab due to emergency use approval.

Good news. People with cancer risks have reason for hope.

I don't trust them anymore, I wouldn't doubt if their anti-God, humanistic thinking is we can slowly kill them off, but kill them off faster then the cancer they got and save more on the whole thing before some one catches on.
