Reply to comment by [deleted] in Cancer mRNA vaccine completes pivotal trial by ILikeTasks

It’s expensive to make but all signs lately seem to point to individualized medicine being the future. Just look at cancer. There are tons of new treatments that target cancers with specific genes.

This style of medicine will save so many lives and will only get cheaper

A lot of the focus for these therapies is how to decrease the cost for personalized medicine. Manufacturing these therapies at the scale required for efficacy is currently expensive but companies are working to reduce these costs

CAR T-cell therapy is what it sounds like you are referring to… and frankly, it does seem as though that is the future.

Future of medicine for the rich. Many, many life saving drugs will only ever be available in America/EU/Australia/Japan simply because it's not profitable to export to poorer countries. Not to mention the supply chain right now can barely supply rich regions with high demand drugs at the moment.
