The message is loud and clear. It’s not your skin color, it’s the content of your character.

I’m proud of all those kids. They are our future.

This doesn’t sound right...*at all*! The nastiest thing about melanoma is that it metastasizes, that is, it sends cancer cells from its original site to distant parts of the body.That’s exactly what happened to a top surgeon who worked at the hospital where I worked. His melanoma spread to his brain and *that’s* what killed him.

The Indians are Caucasian. Maybe you mean European ethnicity. The majority of them I know are childless by choice.

A lot of things about this smell “off”. We are being asked to swallow a false targeted narrative.

Yeah, I’m more than a bit skeptical about this melanoma soap. I want to know what “compounds” go into it and the mechanisms by which they treat melanoma.

In 1976, I worked with a woman who had had a small melanoma removed from her upper arm. The surgeon had apparently removed a chunk about the size of a pool ball in hopes of getting it all. At that time there was no recurrence, some two years after the surgery.

I doubt that a 50-cent bar of soap can do that.

Good for these kids.

That said, it really makes me wonder about the medical industry when a 14 year old comes up with something like this. ..unless it doesn’t really have the merit we’re being sold on.

Probably a soap that can detect it early, cool but obviously not cheap with microscopic cameras or scanners that could map the entire surface of the body.

this was a high school in Northern VA... and not a single white person.

they’ll keep dumbing down whites until college admission of white males is zero

“… Over the next five years, he hopes to refine his innovation and create a nonprofit organization that will distribute this low-cost solution to communities in need….”
********************************************************************

Two things. First many “non-profits” are money making scams. Just sayin’.

Second, the plan is to send “community in need” patients diagnosed with skin cancer home with a supply of his soap while communities NOT in need will get standard-of-care cancer treatments.

Yep, good plan kid. Enjoy that $25,000 and get that non-profit set up to receive a steady stream of “charitable” tax-deductible donations.
