This is the problem with science communication today. Every news outlet just pushes attention grabbing fake headlines for views. They're never Interested in proven scientific research bc it's too boring or complicated for the masses.
He seems like a bright kid but all he did was make soap and add an already well known drug Imidazoquinoline into it.
Source NPR:
"How did you test the efficacy of this soap and what are the next steps for you to continue the soap's development?
So for the most part, I've been sticking to digital molecular testing, which is a fairly new process of testing, where you can test different ingredients and combine different ingredients [in a computer model] and see what they do. When I did test it on digital models, I got really, really high numbers in terms of the efficiency of it."
We must protect this young guy!! Congratulations
Wow, that's awesome! ❤
If his soap is rolled out on a mass scale in places like his home country then it could reduce skin cancer rates significantly in those countries by being a preventative measure that can also treat existing melanoma patches that are not too big! 🙂
Valuable personnel.
Amazing ❤ so proud of this brilliant young man ❤ our humble backgrounds doesn’t make less resourceful , competitive or creative 😊 what an inspiration for all of us. We create our own empowering stories and build our own destiny, nobody else but us #godgiventalents ❤
Way to go awesome one! 💙
It's antiviral cream in soap form and has no tests done anywhere on its ability to fight skin cancer. Don't trust 14 year olds with no medical degree. it's essentialy pseudoscience at this point.
Living with an incurable disease is so hard, but you just have to live life day by day as it goes by (Cancer sucks)…
He could have hospitals built in his name
Sadly, the assassinated in this Kid yesterday. 😢
protect this young man from vultures who will attempt to discredit his invention and discovery and possibly steal it and make billions
Keep it going young man, great work
Wow amazing he will go very far
Wow! This kid is very impressive. He has a bright future ahead of him!! 😊
See his skin color people?? , before you talk down on our race look at Robert card & yall school shooters , don’t @ me
I bet this young man will discover that the sunscreen companies have already had this patent & didn't release it for production. Still wishing him all the luck tho… 😞
Thanks for helping us white people😂
Amazing
