(2,945 posts)a cancer drug, CIMAvax, developed in Cuba which is a very promising immuno therapy vaccine, so much so that a medical research facility in NY, Roswell Park, has partnered with them. Some Cubans have been on this vaccine therapy for lung cancer more than 10 years, needing a shot only about every 3 months. The ability for the US and Cuba to share this cancer fighting research was loosened under Obama and then totally blocked by Trump. I am sure the US pharmas want to keep it blocked so that they can continue to "offer" their cancer remedies for profit. The PBS show highlighted some Americans who travel to Cuba for treatment with the vaccine. It was very enlightening.

More than 200 years later we are still fighting for this!
