This frog bacterium wiped out cancer tumors in mice with a single dose : science

This really does prove the point once again:

Mice are actually vast, hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings. They are not only subtly guiding our behavior by participating in our behavioral experiments, but also using us for scientific breakthroughs to improve their own quality of life.

Having humans change your genome so that you develop cancer more easily, and then injecting into you a bunch of ineffective treatments is an improvement in quality of life?

Douglas Adam’s was right!

Adam's

to what thing of Douglas Adam are you referring?

[-] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

There’s always one. /ThreeStoogesSlap. Stupid autocorrupt.

These creatures you call mice, you see, they are not quite as they appear. They are merely the protrusion into our dimension of vastly hyperintelligent pandimensional beings.

Another miracle cure for mice!

Everytime I look at my paycheck, I get enraged knowing the amount that's going just for mice healthcare. They aren't even citizens, they don't pay taxes themselves. Freeloaders, the tiny lot of them.

You forget the important part: What color is the mouse? Which bathroom does it use?

[-] 0x0@infosec.pub 6 points 4 days ago

That so many mice still has tumours even with all these cures for them is an atrocity

Wonder if I could get that for my dog.

Found out yesterday she has bone cancer.

[-] Aralakh@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Oh man, so sorry to hear that :(, please give your doggo all the pets and scratches for me. Hopefully you got some support through this 🫂

[-] Quexotic@infosec.pub 2 points 2 days ago

Well yeah, if you're using THAT frog bacterium. Obviously.

Not so pro-life anymore, if you kill cancer cells, are we?

This entire practice and trials on animals is big pharma controlling cures by bureaucracy and red tape and "inhumane" testing. Big pharma lines the pockets of the guys who write FDA rules. FDA rules state you can't practice on humans thus curing humans because that would collapse pharmaceuticals, cancer treatments. Thanks a lot think-tanks. Your big brains slowed progress, but prevented famines due to population control right?

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 4 days ago

Kindly fuck off with your anti science bullshit

[-] sunsofold@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

The FDA has plenty of issues but saying 'no, you can't test things on humans without first testing them on non-human animals,' isn't for the sake of the companies. There are a lot of 'potential cures' for which we never want human trials, because rodent trials reveal how much cancer they cause rather than cure.
