The pharmaceutical industry literally is a pyramid scheme, highest profits of any industry. They have always been more interested in treating, rather than curing, cancer. Hopefully we'll see more things like this.
It's a 'milestone' for cancer vaccines

That's why my parents' GP said was wrong with it. My dad asked if he was getting vaccinated. His answer, "that has genetic material in it. I'm not putting that **** in me."
Big Pharma is terrible, and it's remarkable how the politics of it have changed. Pre-Covid, the Left was suspicious of Big Pharma and was very quick to call for regulations and lawsuits. The Right was very quick to protect them. Covid completely flipped things. Now the Right despises Big Pharma, and the Left can't lick their nuts enough.
For a vaccine yes. For targeting cancer, it’s the original purpose of the mRNA.
Actually curing diseases, such as Hepatitis C (another breakthrough) is the exception not the rule.
Until you have high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, infection or any other disease, everyone hates the pharmaceutical industry. Which other industry must invest hundreds of millions of dollars for a product that might work only to have 20 years to recoup the investment?
As usual, a lot of things can be true at once. They do incredible work that has saved or extended literally billions of lives worldwide.
It's also true that they're sometimes willing to engage in deception to make money even if it harms or kills people. It's also true that they have a very corrupt arrangement with the government.
In fact, their business model probably wouldn't work without it. It's a lot easier to recoup your investment when your biggest customer (Medicare) is willing to pay top prices for your product rather than exploiting the fact that it buys in large volumes to pay a lower price. It also helps when the government is willing to engage in trade protectionism to artificially and wildly inflate the price of your product in the United States.
One reason healthcare is expensive for non medicare non Medicaid patients is because they pay below cost for products and services. The problem is Medicare patients have little incentive to not go to the ER or get an expensive prescription that an alternative OTC item also treats.as a result, everyone else pays more.
Do pharmaceutical companies advertise and push their drugs unethically? Yes they do.

True, but I'm not talking about medical care generally. I'm talking specifically about Medicare Part D, which doesn't allow the government to negotiate drug prices even though they buy in massive quantities. Only a corrupt government program would accept that arrangement. No business that bought in bulk would. In fact, most governments don't. (For example, the National Health Service here pays £9.65 (about $11) for all prescription drugs.) But the US government, which spends money like it has unlimited resources, does.
mRNA causes the cells it gets inside of to produce a certain protein. (The mRNA codes for protein synthesis, so different mRNA strands make different proteins.) If you find some unique surface markers on cancer cells, you can in theory get the patient's body to produce proteins to bind to those markers and "treat" those specific cells.
With Covid, the idea was to get the patient's own body to produce the "spike protein" on the virus to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against it. Thus, when the virus got into the body, the immune system was geared up to combat it already. Traditional vaccines attempt the same thing, but use dead viruses to stimulate the immune system.
With dead virus, obviously you can control how much the patient is exposed to. One of the big problems with the Covid jab is the inability to control the amount of spike protein the patient's own body produced.
The biotechnology of mRNA is fairly well understood at this time, but it was horribly mis-applied to the task of tackling Covid.
I'll simplify it further: Big pharma effed up and produced a drug not a vaccine. Then they just changed the definition and a bunch of morons fell for it and loudly shamed those who questioned and refused to take it.
I never took it.
And I never felt ashamed for not taking it either. Their campaigns to marginalize me fell on very deaf ears.

I never felt ashamed. I was surprised at some "friends' reactions first for blindly asking no questions. And then hostility toward me back then for not taking the jab
Letting me know that I and all.who did not get it were endangering others
We were selfish idiots.
Even now if I have to interact with them it is like they still resent I did not get jabbed.

On the assumption that your friends were not in a high risk category, they resent you now because the evidence plainly demonstrates who was in fact the idiot.

I think you are correct. I have never brought up their willingness to take it and how ill advised they were after all the facts came out
BUT I have to admit last winter as more and more actual facts came out I did mention to one particular vicious "acquaintance" who hammered at people like me over and over
I did mention that I would be very careful to maintain the 6ft distance from anyone who HAD the jab since it has been proven people with the jab endangered vaxx free people.
Sometimes pettiness does kinda feel good
