This heartwarming story does not surprise me because AI has made incredible leaps in just a few years. But I'm happy this story will piss off conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr. and anti-vaxxers who don't trust science and mRNA vaccines.

Being Australia's largrst genomics provider, Ramaciotti is a pretty big customer at work. I'll have to ask the guys who cover Australia if they heard about this.

"mRNA vaccines in oncology"

This is what Moderna (mRNA, get it) was created to work on.

Wonder what cancer Dr's have been doing all this time....

This.

Tumor sequencing and mRNA vaccine synthesis to target neoantigens is the current forefront of treatment...or was until the mouth breathing idiots in the US decided they knew more about mRNA technology and biology than the actual doctors and scientists working with it.

This guy didn't do anything novel, he was just rich enough to be able to afford to blow those kinds of resources on his dog. Something your average Joe doesn't have because Musk needs to be the first trillionaire in US history...

Acting as a spunk bucket for truckers at the Flying J is much more novel.

JPW: The guy is rich, not inventive.

Fortfisher: That reminds me of having a dlck in my mouth!

The term "good buddy" was coined for --------------.

The article is behind a paywall.

Here's a video of the guy and his dog, explaining what he did. He doesn't appear to be wealthy.

He doesn't appear to be wealthy.

Given the average person can't afford a $400 medical bill for themselves, let alone $3,000 for their dog...

You could afford $3000 if you'd swallow instead of spitting like its gross.
