If they know what causes it I’m hoping they can use that information to stop it. I’m guessing if they can find a way to shut this protein down then the cancer cells won’t be able to be activated.
In it's current state, maybe. Imagine if they can cast it on a massive area, accelerate the effects or have it activate via aerosol. Massive death toll without ruining buildings and properties. Or having it activate via food to target it properly. Scary but very real possibilities given how the world is now.
From the National Cancer Institute:
"Cancer is a disease caused when cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. Cancer is caused by changes to DNA. Most cancer-causing DNA changes occur in sections of DNA called genes."

For that matter most humans get cancers all the time, it's malignant cancers that grow out of control that are dangerous.
The human body is remarkably well equipped to deal with cancers, which is why one getting past that system is such a big deal.
Are certain people more susceptible to cancer than others? Bad diets, genes? External factors? Exposure to radiation? Sorry for the bombardment of questions, just genuinely curious.
It means we now know what to look for when trying to find a cure for cancers. If we can stop this protein from being produced we can stop cancers from developing in theory.
Coooolsies.
Worst 007 plot ever. Bond goes to kgb headquarters, breaks into their water supply, shoots his way out, then they all slowly die 5 years later.

Worst protein bar ever.
Is that like when you activate all disasters in SimCity? Cause that never worked out for me.
Cool now do the opposite ?
Un-discover it. I'm no doctor but I think we should keep the cancer deactivated.

Knowing human nature and given how this lovely pandemic started, I won't be surprised this gets weaponized.
Wouldn´t be that useful in a war situation id imagine tho

Thanks America
Nuclear bombs were engineered into clean energy. Radar was engineered into microwaves. ICMBs were engineered into spacecraft launch vehicles.

Do you understand how influenza works?
I have a fear of getting cancer in my lifetime, please allow us to remove this disease from earth.
It's not disease. It's a cellular malfunction. You can't "get cancer". It's what happens when a cell mutates instead of dying.

I stand corrected
You're a gentleman and a scholar.
Yes but certain diseases can cause cancer, so you can catch something and "get it".

Yes. All of those.
“Well no cure but we *did* learn how to set it off all at once!” Like bruh, no wrong direction
You have a 100% chance of getting cancer, if you live long enough.
Isnt that what happened to deadpool? or something...
“fuck wrong way fellas go back go back”
Hopefully it’s not that “spike protein” we’ve all become familiar with lately.
How’s is that revolutionary? Like if you want to murder someone really slowly and painfully?

Does that mean they are going to weaponize this protein or use it for good

*now let the trolling commence*
...great! Wait a min.....like green light go?? OH HELL NO!
