08-20-26 Part Two - Vaccines and Data Centers

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the two biggest issues that most people are concerned about are vaccines and data centers. An experimental mRNA-based vaccine succeeded in preventing cancer from coming back or spreading in a study of high-risk melanoma patients, Moderna and its partner Merck said Wednesday, paving the way for a potentially new life-extending treatment for the thousands of people diagnosed with the deadly skin cancer each year. Moderna shares more than doubled Wednesday, while Merck’s stock hit an all-time high.

Also data centers, the gigantic buildings that house the computing power behind the artificial intelligence boom, are wildly unpopular. A recent Gallup poll found that 7 in 10 Americans oppose one being built in their area.
