Thanks 60 Minutes for sharing this inspiring story of Genetic treatment and congratulations for Jennell and thanks for Dr. Collins and all of the team who worked on this marvelous achievement!
So, HIV has led to a cure for Sicle Cell Anemia? 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank God President Trump and Elon Musk are moving to cut off funding from these “NIH” “scientists.” God doesn’t want us messing with the genes God gave us! MAGA!
And now Trump is probably defunded all of this
I get my jean therapy from Levi & Straus.
Trump HATES this kind of research. He's cut funding for NIH and he's increased military funding.
I wonder how the “CURE” is doing now…Six years later and this should’ve turned into something more interesting.
60 Minutes to the World

Posted 15 hours ago with 17 comments. This show was once a staple. Now it’s largely considered an extremely biased propaganda tool. 17 comments. What a shame.
Too bad 60 minutes caved in too 😥

This is so so amazing. NIH creates new frontiers for medical science. But I m worried will funding for such novel research continue in and after new USA of 2025 ?

Sickle-Cell is only present in West and Central Africans, not all Africans.
