Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

The thumbnail made me think that Russia was announcing that they now have Dr Manhattan

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Dr. Moscow, the superman exists and he’s Russian.

It's good. In fact, it's the only good think Millar has ever worked on.

"A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned?"

- Vladimir Putin, probably

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It’s so sad Putin died of Ligma

[–] DarylDutch@lemmy.world 70 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Technically, the amount of russians dying from cancer has gone down. This of course goes hand in hand with a rise in acute lead poisoning in Ukraine.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Death is definitely one way to cure someone's cancer.

[–] schema@lemmy.world 63 points 2 years ago

Maybe the rumors about Putin having cancer are true, and this is what the scientists told him to not accidentally fall out of a window.

[–] Starkstruck@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

The vaccine just kills you, can't have cancer if you're dead! /s

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Is it as good as your Covid vaccine?

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Wonder if it’s also called sputnik

[–] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Imagine if this was true lmao russia just cures all cancers. Honestly the world has been so bass ackwards lately that it almost makes a non-sense kind of sense

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 years ago

Since I only need “Cow wins Nobel Prize” for a bingo on this card I would be so pissed if this is true.

[–] Johandea@feddit.nu 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

They've ~~discovered~~ stolen HPV vaccines? Good on them!

[–] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

They developed what might be the first cancer vaccine. USA government source.

I know you're being sarcastic, but vaccines against cancer-causing oncoviruses are not what's usually meant by "cancer vaccines" (though some people will sometimes use the phrase "cancer vaccines" to include that).

Cancer vaccines are more typically things like Imlygic which sets the immune system against melanoma.

[–] Saeveo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

They developed what might be the first cancer vaccine

If by "they" you mean Russia, that's not what your source says. It's a press release about Agenus (a US company) licensing their vaccine for production and sale in Russia.

they have entered into a license, development and manufacturing technology transfer agreement for Agenus' Oncophage® (HSPPC-96; vitespen) vaccine

[–] Terr@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

Such a shame they don't have a "dying in a pointless war" vaccine.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Sends cancer straight to gulag

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Cool story blyat

“Cancer diagnoses decrease rapidly for russian men who run 500m without cover”

[–] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Exciting field for the next few years: we'll probably see a bunch of new cancer vaccines coming out.

Funny how the covid epidemic spurred our understanding of immunology and vaccines.

[–] corstian@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Wait wasn't this the premise of FarCry 6?

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago
[–] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Starting to sound like North Korea over there, i mean it makes sense since North Korea has been supplying them with slaves for years.

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
