Wait till it mutates to not only eat tumors

So, originally, when it gets exposed to oxygen it stops but then they go and add a gene to make it tolerate more oxygen. What happens when it mutates to be totally ok with oxygen and consumes the host? Did they invent the Blob?

Holy shit, what stupid idea

Too bad, if it eliminates cancer, the drug companies will delete it. They don’t want a cure just a suppression of symptoms. Money and ongoing money. Good luck everyone

I can’t wait to never hear about it again lol

Reminder that bleach kills cancer in a lab. The trick is safely getting it into the body and only the desired area.
These breakthroughs are great and important, and eventually, one of them is going to be *the one,* but there’s a reason you read 3 or 4 of these headlines a year.

Yup… Just like that space ship they said was coming to Earth.
Science is so amazing

Well I for one look forward to rich Americans along with everybody else (non-rich Americans) in the world to be mostly cancer free at some point.
2018 we had 60 minutes show how polio could strip the shields off cancer so your immune would just eat it. It ate brain tumors harmlessly and left a hole in its place.
Guess what happens to this cure….vanished
Cancer industry will be worth 2/3 of a trillion dollars in 2030 btw….let that sink in for a second

In 30 years the human body will just be a managed ecosystem of 400 competing engineered microbes keeping each other in check. We’ll call it “being healthy.”

Just woke up with super blurry eyes and read this as «Trump-eating bacteria…» – accompanied with a picture of a red MAGA hat!

Cool, that reminds me of the Japanese tree frog’s (Dryophytes japonicus) bacteria ( Ewingella americana )

So what does it eat once the tumor is gone?
