mRNA for Covid was built on what was learned from trying to use mRNA for Cancer. I personally think mRNA is going to really help a lot of people in the future.

My kid passed away at 12 from Bone Cancer and my sister (not biologically related to my son) died from brain cancer qat 15. There is no treatment for Bone Cancer that actually makes survival any better in the past 35 years. This is a potential first treatment that might change the percentages for kids and adults. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmed.2021.64261...

Kid Cancer cures requires a lot more time because kids' cells are always growing are much harder to come up with safe treatments. There was a 20+ year time when not one new chemotherapy was used to treat kids till St. Baldrick's funded research finally introduced something new for kids. If we get something that works on Adults it will take 10+ years to go to kids. If it works on kids then the research will help adults in a year or two. That the world focuses 90%+ on adult cancers is very frustrating.
