🇷🇺 The first Russian Cancer vaccine has just been administered to a patient in Russia.

The Russian cancer vaccines (like Enteromix for colorectal/glioblastoma/melanoma and NeoOncovac mRNA for melanoma) are experimental and in early clinical trials. Phase 1 data from 2025 showed 100% immune response in ~48 volunteers, but no long-term results exist yet—efficacy, survival rates, recurrence prevention, or safety beyond 1-2 years aren't available. Larger Phase 2/3 trials (planned for 2026+) are required for that. First patient doses in Russia are slated for May at earliest.

🇲🇾🇮🇷 Malaysia says its ships are passing through the Strait of Hormuz without paying any tolls to Iran.

Yes, it's true. Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke confirmed today that Iran’s ambassador assured no tolls for Malaysian vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, citing strong diplomatic ties as a "friendly nation." Multiple Malaysian officials and outlets like Bloomberg, Malaysiakini, and Al Jazeera reported the same. Seven tankers have clearance.
