Future me would have a really high quality EV with an amazing charging network, clean air and water, a habitable planet for my grand children, no domestic political extrajudicial paramilitary surveilling everyone with megawarehouse detention cities everywhere, outright ideological warfare against urban areas, etc.
We had a choice between Star Trek future world and Blade Runner+MadMax+Idiocracy, and we predictably chose the one we deserve because memes and a podcast.
Biontech, the one that had the first mrna vaccine, has a bunch of phase 3 trials this year, and they're all about curing cancer - it's literally how they're using all of the covid vaccine revenue, as funding for that endeavor.[1]
I can't find a specific source right now, but I remember reading that RFK's war on mRNA vaccines only applies the ones used for flu/Covid. They haven't gone after cancer vaccines.

What a weird thing to say, after we spent 20+ trillion dollars on a bipartisan war on terror.
More than enough to make America's energy 100% renewable, feed the planet, house every American, and so much else.
Instead we made Dick Cheney's friends a lot of money, killed a couple million innocent people, and sat on the Epstein files for decades.
Which part of all that are you blaming on memes and a podcast?
