Comment on Moderna’s mRNA cancer vaccine works even better than thought
NAK@lemmy.world 5 months agoRight? Bunch of morons who never had cancer, or never knew anyone who was diagnosed and treated for cancer, thinking a 10k treatment is expensive.

10k is expensive

Still expensive

That’s zero sum thinking.
If it was 10k that is, literally, an order of magnitude cheaper.
You can’t have it both ways. The people who I know who have had cancer, and had it treated, the cost has been well over 100k. Some over 200k. That’s per time. If it came back it would cost that all over again.
So which is it. Is it evil that a new treatment could cost 90% less? Or should the capitalists do what they do and charge 300k for this better treatment?
