Mutant wolves roaming the deserted streets of Chernobyl appear to have developed resistance to cancer - raising hopes the findings can help scientists fight the disease in humans...

Cancer-causing radiation prevents cancer. Things that make you go “hmmm...”

All you have to do to become immune to cancer is hang out around a radioactive waste site.

[PeterPrinciple]

There are several studies that low level exposure to radiation, like radon, is healthful.

I’m getting me some mutant wolf blood. I don’t know the dosage but I’m sure it will be okay.

Be careful..that's exactly how those sickos that drink the blood of children started.

Hormesis?

Well, the downside is that you will also become a mutant. Can't have everything, I guess.

That's almost like being a super hero though...so worth it.

It further belies the question why all animal life around Chernoble is not now extinct - given all that “science” repeated about what that level of radiation would bring.

Similar in the Gul of Mexico about the “great BP oil disaster”. How come the biome of that area of the Gulf has recovered. That wasn’t supposed to happen.

The environmental activist alarmists always underestimate natural life, and humans, ability to adapt and mitigate from environmental issues.

At least you can see them in the dark. Gives you some time for the big getaway.

And this ability to adapt is from EXISTING genetic information, not mutation.

In the old days we called it gene expression, not mutation.

[I-ambush]

I would think about getting a helmet, though. One stray foul ball and you’re a goner.

[gattaca]

Hmmm, could use that in the Stalker video game.

[Jeff Chandler]

Mutant wolf blood: safe and effective.

Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo speak out...

"We are immune to cancer!"

[alternatives?]

On another version of this article someone pointed out that they need to vaccinate these wolfs with the Covid vaccine and see what happens.

[Twotone]

It reminds me of all the screaming about the destruction of the Amazon jungle, how it would never grow back. They’d obviously never read Kipling.

There is no money in curing Cancer, only in treating the disease. Maybe that is why a cure has been slow in coming.
