  • A mouse model still is really not a stage to post news articles. Only 1 in ~100+ drugs that make it past mouse models eventually get approved. And those are replicated findings. As far as I can tell this headline is an un replicated study.

    Journalists need clickbait “cancer cure” hopium. But I don’t think it’s very useful. As a chronically ill person myself I’m sick of people sending me those articles about my illness because they think a cure’s on the horizon when well, it’s really unlikely. Which means every time they see me and I’m not magically cured I have to sit through another “what about that miracle drug” convo. I still hope, but I don’t like the misleading hopium journalism seems to love.
