Feeling hopeful

I am feeling more hopeful for an outcome of my future.

My Aunt Sally, back about 3 years ago, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and had to undergo treatment for it. Ultimately, she lost both breasts, but the cancer has not come back, for which she is thankful.

Needless to say, this puts myself at a rather high risk for said cancer. One of the people I follow on Twitter recently forwarded this to everyone:

I consider this then to be very good news. From the sound of it, their main concern is the vaccine causing people to not make the protein at all. I have no idea how they would make a vaccine target a protein only if there is too much of the protein made in the body, though. Then again, I'm not a specialist in that field, so there's no logical reason why I would know it.

Regardless, for the health front and the war on Cancer, things are looking up.
