A friend of mine has skin cancer and was about to start a clinical trial at MD Anderson after his other treatments did not work.
— Eric Koch (@EricDKoch) January 24, 2025
Trump's decision to temporarily halt funding for medical research also applies to clinical trials.
His treatment is now canceled. pic.twitter.com/7L8cxrwND5

Cancer is a physical manifestation of sin. If you get cancer, it's because God hates you and you deserve it. The pious and penitent thing to do is just accept it and die

The EO effects all funding for cancer immunology treatments as they nearly all qualify as gain of function. They use a modified virus to get the immune system to attack cancer cells.

I'd rather these people die of cancer than we accidentally create a new super virus.
Jump in the discussion.

They don't work like that.
Oncolytic viruses have a capsid engineered such that it can't be transmitted between hosts. They are usually have to be given via IV as they can't infiltrate the body any other way. This is how they work rather than a desired property, humans still suck hard at genetics.
The proteins on the capsid select for specific cell types. Non-cancerous cells are minimally impacted (if they get infected at all they defeat the virus quickly). Depending on the specific virus you might not know you are even infected because they don't all trigger an immune response that gives you cold like symptoms, some of them take advantage of defects in some types of cancer cells that make them more susceptible to viruses so the virus literally kills the cancer cells rather than getting the immune system to do it.
It would be fricking awesome if humans understood genetics enough to engineer a transmissible virus that killed cancer cells though. That would be pretty sweet.

So will this affect phage research too? Last I checked we were on the cusp of the post-antibiotics era with few means to combat simple resistant skin infections so surgical wounds continue to have increased risk and people were looking at making viruses for bacteria do the same thing as antibiotics since we're already swimming in them.

The spending exec controls is a drop in the bucket.
If congress stopped doing anything and absolutely no discretionary spending occurred we would still spend 84% of federal revenue this year. You would get 5 years of slight reductions in debt before 2030 when we pass the magic number of mandatory spending crossing the 100% federal revenue mark.
The gibs that the GOP hates like Medicaid and SNAP are not really the problem there, it's gibs for the old fricks. Apparently it's totally not socialism for working people to pay for rich old fricks to play golf all day.
The current law gap is about 7.6% of personal income which doesn't sound like much but is increasing individual taxes by about 50% and would be the 2nd largest tax increase in US history. That would also need to increase through the late 2040's to get over the demographic cliff.
We haven't fixed it for the last 45 years when it would have been much easier to fix it, we are not going to fix it in the next 6 years. They won't stop giving gibs to the old and we won't increase taxes enough to pay for it.
Imma be bugging out to Costa Rica or Malawi when things go to shit in the late 30's.

i'm sure i'll get my karmic comeuppance for this comment eventually, but I struggle to think of the last time the government did something that benefited me. the only government services i can actually remember using in the past five years are the DMV, postal service, and state/national parks.
if i have to choose between lower taxes or the budgetary health of some amorphous letter soup bureaucracy that delivers zero immediately visible benefit to my everyday life. . .
perhaps there will be disfavorable long-term fallout from these cullings, but it's hard for me to imagine it would it have been much better under the slow, crushing rot of legions of maleducated losers in make-work positions - like the ones we just saw sneeding on reddit about losing their fedjob gravy train

It's been a weird shift for sure. When I was involved in my hometown music scene I used to get lectured by hippy naturopath freaks about how "cancer can't survive in an alkaline environment" and all the typical r-slur shit, and 10 years later I get to hear about atomizing borax and hydrogen peroxide into my lungs to remove the toxins from my blood from my company's hardcore Christian conservative receptionist.

Everyone in the comments are calling it fake because funding is secured before trials begin.

That's not always the case. They'll often start with initial funding and then try to get extensions and further funding, at least in be research end of things.
