“Not just a gimmick but apparently a political tool.”
I don’t know. Would you explain both of your assertions?
Like I said it’s a gimmick. This newfangled cancer treatment is going to get everyone all excited (apparently especially our Hasbara friends and naive American Israel boosters, and unfortunately those actually suffering from cancer) and then it will fail in clinical trials. I know because I’ve seen it a million times. These stories always pull in anyone who doesn’t know more than a bit of high school biology. I know the field of cancer therapy, especially experimental therapeutics, very well.
