      This deeply irresponsible & gullible @nypost on an imminent cure for cancer has done the rounds. It's wrong on somany levels, but exemplifies some persistent misunderstandings. So here's a short thread on why it's nonsense - buckle in! (1/n)pic.twitter.com/sRCvka8mme

      https://www.jpost.com/HEALTH-SCIENCE/A-cure-for-cancer-Israeli-scientists-say-they-think-they-found-one-578939 … To play devils advocate, you should refute the incubator, the Co, the researchers, and what the more thorough linked article details if you're actually refuting the science and not The Post story(which is a tabloid, but they were clearly summarizing JP).

      Replying to @TheyCallMeTarz @nypost

      ..thank you for your totally unrequested input - as a cancer researcher, there is no science here to refute; there's a claim with no evidence. And as I had already linked to criticisms by @GidMK and @DrRobertOConnor (and throw in @gorskon for good measure) I think it's fine.

      Precisely. If targeting ever more receptors were the answer to all cancer, the cure would've been found at least a decade ago!

      But they're targeting THREE receptors at once, which makes it mutation-proof. They say. This is also the game Intelligent Design creationists are playing now: evolution is impossible, if there are more than 2 mutations behind a trait. & yet it happens. & cancers will find a way.

      It's also not as though we haven't tried targeting more than two receptors before, either. Off target effects and synergistic toxicity become huge problems. ABEi's claim that there will be minimal toxicity is staggeringly ignorant.

          They counter empirical evidence with a catchy name (MuTaTo!) and invoking the magic of peptides.

          As if cancers only develop because of receptors.
