      The treatments were effective enough for him to return home, attend #NBA events in #LosAngeles & attend a game at his alma mater, #Stanford.

      But the cancer returned recently, & #JasonCollins died peacefully at his home, surrounded by his family.

        If it wasn't for Republicans & their anti-science billionaires, we'd have a universal cancer vaccine by now.

        RFK Jr.’s endless anti-vax campaign targets the science that could lead to cancer vaccines

        Health and Human Services has said that the cancellation of the 22 mRNA research and development projects was specific to their application to respiratory pathogens and does not extend to their use for other diseases, such as cancer. But this is a false distinction.
