By 2030 there will be Vaccines against Cancer and Heart Diseases

Millions of lives could be saved by a range of new vaccines for a range of diseases, including cancer, experts say. A leading pharmaceutical company has announced that by 2030 there will be vaccines against cancer, cardiovascular, autoimmune and other diseases, the Guardian writes.

Studies of these vaccines show "enormous promise," with some researchers saying 15 years of progress has been "unfolded" in 12 to 18 months, thanks to the success of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Dr. Paul Burton, chief medical officer of the pharmaceutical company Moderna, said he believes the company will be able to offer such a treatment for "all kinds of diseases" in just five years.

The company that created a leading coronavirus vaccine is developing cancer vaccines that target different types of tumors.

"We will have this vaccine and it will be very effective and save hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives. I think we will be able to offer people around the world personalized vaccines against many different types of tumors," Burton is convinced.

According to the Moderna representative, one vaccine can cover multiple respiratory infections, which will allow vulnerable people to be protected from COVID, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and for rare diseases for which until now there are no drugs, mRNA therapies will be available. mRNA-based therapies work by teaching cells how to make a protein that triggers the body's immune response against disease.

"I think we'll have mRNA-based therapies for rare diseases that haven't been treatable before, and in 10 years we'll be approaching a world where we can actually identify the genetic cause of a disease and with relative ease we edit and...
