So the stages of life that gay people go through is drastically later than when straight people experience them. Straight teenagers get strep and mono all the fucking time when they’re 13, and yall don’t bat an eye. When a gay person gets them it’s “yall are spreading AIDS”
When I first accepted I am gay and actually started having sex with people (guys) I got strep like 6x in a year and mono and my parents thought I was legit dying

The man who was shot by ice in nyc yesterday could have a rap sheet a mile long and I would still be like, “hey maybe ICE shouldn’t pull up on someone in a hi-vis vest with a long gun and shoot a bunch of bullets into a car with a child inside of it.”

Watching Ancient Aliens (it’s my comfort show so shut up) and the biggest revelation so far is that Tom Delonge (frontman of Blink-182) founded an educational organization and academy dedicated to the study of UFOs and alien activity on Earth

I once was in an Uber that had an interactive tablet on the back of one of the headrests and that’s when I realized I was in a fucking cab
a legit problem in tech is how many of its leaders are trying to reinvent systems without bothering to understand how or why the current system works in the first place

Developing therapeutic vaccines is literally my job and I love talking about it. AMA!
I can answer this. For a vaccine to work, you need to know a specific target that differentiates the malignancy from the healthy parts of your body. For cancer and the common cold, there are too many targets for one silver bullet vaccine to be developed for everyone. For HIV the mechanism of infection is such that it makes eradicating the virus completely nearly impossible. For Covid, nearly everyone was infected with a virus that contained the spike protein, which is found no where else in the body. This was the universal target that the vaccine was developed to identify.

Excitingly, the first cancer vaccine trial to exhibit anti-tumor efficacy was just published earlier this month! Moderna developed a personalized melanoma treatment that significantly reduced melanoma recurrence after surgery. The therapeutic vaccine field is young but exciting, and the success of the COVID vaccine made all of this possible!
