And I know some people have already staked out their position on this, They've already maybe adopted an opinion, and that opinion has now hardened, its calcified, if you will, and so it's going to be more difficult for those folks to be able to accept new information that may actually force them to reevaluate their calcified opinion. However, I encourage everybody to do so, because the new choice that we have here, apparently after the big announcement yesterday, is. Data centers or cancer. Sorry, I don't make the rules, people, These are the rules, though, So you either have to support data centers or you have to support people getting cancer and dying from it. These are the options. Again, not my rule. This is referred to as the Romney rule. First came into existence back in the what twenty twelve election when Mitt Romney was accused of giving employees cancer. Remember, because he wouldn't do something at a policy level, right, I don't even know. It's like one of his businesses. And he wasn't even the business. Like it's not like he was there running the business. He ran a private equity firm that bought a bit business and somebody who worked at that business got cancer. And so Mitt Romney gave the guy's wife cancer and she died from it. So he blames Mitt Romney. So and that was one of the campaigns. So this is the Romney rule. Okay, So data centers or cancer deaths, that's our choice. Why do I say this? Well, moderna, Oh sorry, there's another choice in here. Also, if you hate the pharmaceutical companies, then you also have to I guess before the cancer deaths. And I know this is also going to maybe blow up the whole Uh. You know, we can cure cancer, but the pharmaceuticals don't want to because they want to make all of the money. Conspiracy theory. So Maderna and merk Their shares soared yesterday after the companies announced the results of research that they had been doing, and not not just research, but clinical trials where they created personalized m RNA treatments. I guess this is a third option now, or a third question. We have to decide if you're totally against the mRNA vaccines or not vaccines but therapeutics or treatments. Right, you're against mRNA, So then you're you're going to be for the cancer deaths. I'm sorry again, not my rules. I don't make these rules. I'm just saying these are the rules. Because when they came out with this research and there's there clinical trials that has the scientific and medical community celebrating today, it's going to be bad news for a lot of people who have opinions that have unfortunately calcified over time. So the personalized m RNA treatment they announced hit its target of preventing skin cancer from recur or spreading in a late stage clinical trial. The results come at a pivot. This is from Axios. By the way. The results come at a pivotal moment for Maderna and mRNA research. After Trump administration health officials cut federal funding for new vaccines and asserted the technology poses more risks than rewards. And by the way, they did not find any negative. Side effects if you believe them, right, So there is that again. Like I'm not trying to tell you that whatever calcified opinion you have is wrong. I'm just saying, like these are now, Like this is the position that people are being put in. See, I try to keep an open mind on this, So when I get new information about this stuff, I'm going to change my opinion, right, just like what happened with the quote unquote vaccines, the shots, right when at first they said, oh, we got all of this research and we did this stuff and whatever. Then we found out, oh, actually you didn't do a lot of the research. Oh and there are all these negative side effects whatever. So then I changed my opinion on that. So anyway, this is a customized therapy, so it's not like a one shot fits all kind of an approach. They take the cancer from your own body and they develop the mRNA treatment for your own body. And I'll explain why that's important and it's an important difference in a minute. So the customized therapy could see a commercial launch next year. It could also be adapted for other cancers of the kidney, the bladder, and the pancreas, which I think pancreatic cancer is basically a death sentence. The results could lead to a remarkable turnaround for Moderna, whose market value plummeted more than ninety percent after demand for its COVID vaccine It's Shot declined post pandemic. The company this month also won FDA approval for a new MRN A seasonal flu vaccine. Okay, I get the I get the flu shots. I will not be. Getting the mRNA like I don't. I don't need to get your mRNA flu shot. I know I've never gotten a flu shot and I've never gotten the flu. That's fine. I got the flu one time. It was it was absolutely awful, like to the point of hallucinations. So even if the flu shot doesn't work all the time, I'm okay. If it's like, hey, there's a you know, forty to sixty percent chance that this may give you some level of protection against the flu, I'm like, I'll take it. You know, that's fine. And by the way, ever since started doing that, never got the flu since so and that doesn't mean anything. One person's anecdotal evidence is not proof of anything. So I had an aunt who smoked two packs of cigarettes a day, and you know, she never got lung cancer and she lived to be like eighty two years old. I mean she died from emphysema, but like she never got lung cancer. Right, the results could lead to a remarkable turnaround for maderna. The experimental therapy is called in tismaran in in tismaran in tismaran I nti inti in tis merran m e r a n in tismran. So it was tested in combination with Merk's cancer drug called ki Trudah. I've seen those ads. I think they're dancing around so and they're all wearing the same color. You know, the ed You've seen it. Okay, So key Trudah along with this therapy, they did it. They ran this combo in more than eleven hundred patients with high risk melanoma that had been surgically removed. The combination demonstrated a quote clinically meaningful improvement over treating the skin cancers with just key Trudah alone. The mRNA based drugs essentially train the immune system to find mutations in a patient that cause tumors. That is a contrast to chemotherapy, which tries to kill every cell of your body before it kills you. Okay, I may be oversimplifying that it damages and destroys the cancer cells. William Solomon, founder and CEO of the Accreditation Council for Medical Affairs, said, quote, we may be entering an era where a patient's individual tumor biology can be used to design a therapy specifically for them. Now you may be thinking to yourself, what does that have to do with data centers? Aha? Glad you asked. I will give you the answer in a moment. That's called the tease. People. I'm a professional. Do not attempt this at home, Okay, Holly trained here all right for over a year now you've heard me talking about Create a Video.

Data centers have anything to do with this announcement from Moderna and Merk that they may have come up with some sort of a cure for cancer. What does AI have to do with it? Ah? Here it is. AI assists in creating the personalized mRNA cancer treatment, which has now succeeded in its Phase three trial. Maderna and Merk sequence each individual patient's tumor and compare it with their healthy DNA. AI then helps identify which of the tumor's mutations are most likely to trigger an immune response. Makes sense. You go into a biopsy or you chop out the tumor or a large part of it. You get a profile of the tumor, you compare it with the healthy DNA, and then you say, okay, with which like which parts of this don't line up from the targets. Then Moderna produces an individual mRNA treatment encoding up to thirty four neo antigens. The earlier phase two trial followed patients with surgically removed high risk melanoma. They followed these people for five years, which was kind of weird. They got, you know, some stalking charges but they got dropped. But they followed them for five years and what they found was sixty eight point eight percent remained cancer free. And when you compare that group, this is the group that got the AI assisted personalized mRNA cancer treatment from Moderna and Merk along with the key trudah right, that's Merk's cancer fighting drug. When you combine the two together, sixty eight point eight percent remained cancer free. For the group that was only on key Truda, it was forty nine percent remained cancer free. So that is a massive increase in efficacy. They had a forty nine percent lower risk of recurrence or death, a fifty nine percent lower risk of distant metastasis or death. So in other words, organs that are away from the cancer site didn't get cancer afterwards either. Now, the much larger Phase three trial involving over eleven hundred patients has also succeeded, and so, as Frank Fleming wrote on Twitter, on the one hand, data centers use insignificant amounts of water, but on the other hand, they cure cancer. So who's to say if they're good or bad at this point, like, it's really tough, really tough to make this determination. I mean, maybe you want to have a lot of people dying of CAN. That's fine. Who am I to judge? Now? One other thing here, what of the impact on public health budgets? Think about this? If this is essentially if we are on the pathway here to actually curing cancer with the use of AI and the mRNA treatments, right, if this is the if this is the combo that cures cancer, that can And I also what about two weeks ago I saw a story about AI was able to identify second stage lung cancer way earlier than all of the other screening methods. So if if we can actually cure cancer using our technology, think about the impact on the public health budgets. Those like those expenditures should then start coming down, right, because we won't be having to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on cancer treatments for people who are on Medicare. For example, Nikita Beer, who is this person just left? He just left X or Twitter. He'd been in charge of their products or something. I forget what the title was, but he was a big muckety mucket Twitter for a long time, and he posted with cancer vaccines now being discovered with AI it seems that the US government might actually grow its way out of its budget deficit. It feels like we're in the early innings of the healthcare system becoming unburdened by many terminal illnesses. Far be it from me to rip the jar of black pills out of your hand, But this seems like pretty good news people. This seems like a positive development. The findings show early cancers might be treated more aggressively than with prior treatments that were more toxic to the body. It is being considered a transformational moment in cancer. Here is doctor Afshin Amrani. He's a cardiologist and author who says, we just crossed a line in medicine that humanity has been walking toward for a hundred years. Recognize the winds. This is not to say that all is well and everything is fixed. I'm not saying that. However, in the fight against cancer, I feel like this is a positive development. Let's take a look at the text line great googly movely, Oh my gosh. Uh all right, David says, m RNA forced for a bad cold. No, thank you, mRNA for cancer. I think about it. So you're saying there's a chance Cabaris Chris says, I'm guessing you weren't skinny, Pete when the flu almost took you out. I also bet you haven't gotten flu since due to your body's natural immunity built during that extreme illness. But I have lost bets before. So I wasn't as svelt then when I got the flu as I am. Now that is true. However, I wasn't the obese man that I was before I walked through the doors. Of PhD weight loss. I was somewhere around two hundred pounds when I got the flu up in Asheville. This would have been. Around twenty thirteen, I want to say. And yeah, like I was hallucinating and I had like severe pain in all my joints and muscles. It was Oh, it was awful. And do you ever notice the hallucinations are never the good kind? Why is that? How come I never get hallucinations that are like fun or funny, you know, happy hallucinations, you know, like you get when you're on drugs. No, I'm kidding, I'm just kidding. No, So then I put on about another sixty five pounds after that, and then I lost ninety on PhD. So to do. Stances, I finally figured out something. The Democrats don't want the data centers, So the next time we have something akin to another pandemic, we won't have any way to track or store the data. We are through the looking glass air people, so we won't be able to rely on the science and data. But the science only, which is a consensus. The debate is over, as mister science and his cohort says, So yeah, I've got more stuff on the data centers. I'm going to get to here. Because this like for people who were not around or who were too young to have to remember what occurred with the nuclear scare and the campaign against nuclear and I admit I like that came before me, right, so I remember seeing some sort of there was a little bit of leftovers by the time I came along. I would see like a news article every now and again about you know, some guy out, but it was always like it had happened prior, so it was like an update to a story that happened prior, where like a guy laid down on some railroad tracks to protest the nuclear plant and the train that was like moving some of the material in or out, and he's like, I'm gonna lay on these railroad tracks and stop them and they'll have to stop. And the train did not stop and it severed his legs. And then everybody's like. I can't believe you did this, Like, dude, laid down on a railroad track. Anyway, that was like the that's the first thing I remember. Then there was like Silkwood, right, wasn't that the movie? I remember seeing that as a kid, and not really, I don't remember anything except sort of the final scene spoiler alert in case you hadn't seen the movie. She's driving down the road and it's nighttime and then there's some headlights up here behind her, and that's how it ends. So you never know that. They never make the accusation that some you know, Big Nuke killed her. They ran her off the road and killed her. She died in a car accident. But it really makes you think like, okay, all right, well, all these years later, not aware of any any charges ever brought against anybody for But that's because they don't want you to know about it. Okay, So Big Nuclear took her out, but then got themselves like unable to build another nuclear reactor. That doesn't make any sense. But this is more recent corollary here is cracking. We saw the same sort of opposition to free and a lot of the opposition is from our global competitors and adversaries who do not want us to be energy independent. And by the way, not for nothing. I'll just throw this out there too, because I saw Tim Poole made a point on his podcast or whatever the other day, and it's something that I talked about at the very beginning of the Iran War, like, this is a reordering of the entire global energy markets. Right, this is breaking bricks countries, the bricks countries it is. It's solidifying our hemisphere and the Gulf of America as the main distribution center for oil and gas. Right, you got the fracking revolution that occurred here, so we got all this fracking, we have oil production, and now you got Venezuela on board. So it's like we're shoring all of this up. So this way, the Middle East no longer represents the you know, the global hub for all of this stuff. Anyway, I digress the and I will get back to the doctor's letter here, I promise, but I don't know if Yeah, I don't know if there's some grand master plan here in order to prevent everybody from getting online during the next pandemic. That's favorite. Russ says. Yeah. Sure, pharma companies have some sketchy ethics, pushed some not ready stuff to market, et cetera. But I think the real criminal investigated investigation focus should be on the drug naming practices. It's like a bunch of monkeys in a room with a Boggle game just coming up with ridiculous names. I would support this investigation. Russ, Well, you know what, why don't we turn the power of AI towards coming up with better names for drugs. Some of these drug names are ridiculous. Some of them sound. Like like, I don't know, it's like sexual deviancy. Okay, I'll just say that, like some of them sounds like sexual deviancy. I don't know. Ian says, I figure, the old three Mile Island canard has run its course, right, So this is what we're dealing with now. This is the modern iteration of that same sort of anti nuke, anti fracking campaign and really anti energy independence. Right, people who hate America and Western civilization do not want us to succeed in the areas where we need to succeed to remain powerful. Energy is the underlying issue in all of this stuff. And if you can, if you can stemy energy production, then you cannot advance. And by the way, not for nothing, countries that are wealthier actually do more to protect their environment because they now have the ability. It's a luxury. They can spend the money on poor countries. A lot of times they're dirty, dirty, Why because they're trying to just basically scratch out food, water, and shelter. You want to be wealthy, and to be wealthy, you got to have abundant energy. I started reading this post from a doctor. He's a cardiologist and author, doctor afshen Amrani, who said, we just crossed a line in medicine that humanity has been walking toward for one hundred years. For the first time, doctors can take a biopsy of your specific tumor, read its unique DNA mutations, the exact fingerprint that no other cancer on Earth shares from your tumor right and build a custom mRNA blueprint written for one human being you. It doesn't poison the cancer. It teaches your own immune system what to hunt. This week phase three results confirmed it works. Added to the best immunotherapy we already had, this individualized cancer vaccine has been dramatically cutting the odds that high risk melanoma comes back. In the earlier data, the combination with key truda reduced the risk of recurrence or death by forty nine percent and the risk of the cancer spreading to distant organs was reduced by sixty two percent compared to the standard treatment alone. This week's phase three readout confirmed the benefit holds. That is not a modest tweak. That is a different trajectory for a human life. Melanoma is just the first door. The same approach is now in trials across lung, bladder, and kidney cancers, a whole program of them racing forward. Understand what this actually means, because it's bigger than one drug. For all of history, we fought cancer with blunt weapons, cut it out, burn it with radiation, flood the whole body with chemotherapy, and hope the cancer dies before the patient suffers too much. We were swinging a hammer in the dark. This is a blueprint, a weapon designed atom by atom for one person's disease that turns their own body into the thing that finds and destroys the cancer. We are watching medicine shift from managing cancer to hunting it. I've spent my life as a physician, and I did not expect to see this so soon. We were told personalized cancer vaccines were a thirty year dream. They are happening right now in real patients, with real data, in our lifetime. I don't say this lightly, and I say it as a doctor who knows exactly how rare these moments are. But this is one of the most hopeful things to happen in the history of the field. We are not at the end of cancer, but we are unmistakably at the beginning of the end of its reign. Let me see here, Jamie on the text line, I heard about five years ago that Duke University was working on this same cancer treatment, but they couldn't proceed much further due to lack of computing capacity. Yeah, that's what AI is giving them, Jefferson says, pardon my French, but gosh darn, that's okay, I speak French. If all these people aren't going to be dying of cancer. What will it do to our social security? But we're going to raise the retirement age. Has anybody ever heard of the movie I Am Legend? Pretty sure that was a vaccine for cancer. Just saying I have not. I mean, I don't know if i've What is I am Legend? Have you seen it? The new version of Omega Man? I thought I Am Legend was was yeah, Will Smith and he's blind? No, that was no, that was Forest Whitaker, no Book of Eli. Yeah, Denzel Washington, That's what I was thinking, I am Legend. Is that the one where Will Smith is running around the vacant city with the dog. Yeah, that's an old movie. Wasn't he blind too? No? Okay. Joey from Ashville says, if AI cures cancer and you cure the blackpill, then will the Democrats complain about all of the healing and no jobs in healthcare? Probably? Yeah? Probably? Some people are not happy unless they're miserable. But Pete Tony says, what about all the water usage and the strain on the electric grid and the noise and they're ugly? That's right, But we're just gonna have to live with cancer. Tony, you got us. That's he says, tell tell the nerds that whine about this to shut up. Do two things. Why doesn't this is seven O four number. Why doesn't Maderna build its own data center nuclear? And who owns these cures? AI feeds off a pile of data from all over the world. Millions of people contribute, plus books and other publications. How do you support additional people living longer? Maybe forever? Okay, Well, nobody's talking about living forever. Okay, I mean, aside from like some cults, but nobody's talking about living forever. If people do end up living longer, that's a good thing. And if you're worried about the strain on social Security, which we said was going to go bankrupt in about six years, right, the answer there is we went over some answers the last week. We went through some of the solutions. In one of them, raised the retirement age a little bit. That's one way to do. It, all right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
