Biden Pushes ‘Safe and Effective’ mRNA Technology to End Cancer

On the 60th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's famous #moonshot speech, President Joe Biden on Monday outlined a new "American Moonshot" aimed at eradicating cancer "as we know it."

"President Kennedy set a goal to win the space race against Russia and advance science and technology for all humanity," Biden said during a speech at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum in Boston. "And when he said that goal, he established a national purpose that could rally the American people and the common cause, and he succeeded. Now in our time, on the 60th anniversary of his clarion call, we face another inflection point."
