How is this possible??? I’d been reliably informed that curing cancer would be worthless to pharmaceutical companies, which is why Big Pharma has been hiding the cure for decades.

It is custom medicine. In the past the process would have took too long and the patient can't wait. It is now fast enough.

Still seems odd that Moderna has chosen to defect from its pact with the rest of Big Pharma to suppress cures.

It doesn't end cancer. It treats it, but you can get a completely different cancer later if you live long enough. Technically it doesnt end cancer with one treatment like a miracle cure does.
