For the first time since 2016, a direct flight to Newark Liberty Airport will soon be on the departures board at St. John’s International Airport. United Airlines will be providing the daily service to the greater New York area starting in June of 2027 and running until September. The CEO of the airport authority, Dennis Hogan, says they know there’s been a lot of demand for the route in recent years and they’re excited to finally have an agreement in place. St. John’s International Airport CEO Dennis Hogan (VOCM News)He says it’s not just as simple as picking up the phone and asking an airline to set up shop. The effort involves various stakeholders from the airport and government, local businesses and those working in the hospitality industry. He says it’s a competitive process as airports right across Canada are also looking to bring in new routes or extend their current offerings. Between the various groups involved, they were able to make the case that demand between YYT and Newark would be a profitable venture for the airline. Listen to “SJIAA CEO Dennis Hogan” on Spreaker. The hope is that the route will be successful enough to be able to offer it on an expanded schedule.

Moderna and Merck say their mRNA cancer vaccine cut death, recurrence by 42% - Ars Technica

The tailored mRNA vaccine is intismeran (or mRNA-4157), which uses a synthetic mRNA that holds the unique genetic coding for up to 34 mutations in a patient’s own cancer cells. To produce the personalized vaccines, researchers compare the genetic sequences of a patient’s cancer cells with those of healthy cells and pick out cancer-specific mutations that could help the immune response selectively target just the cancer cells. In the trial, researchers assessed “recurrence-free survival” or RFS, which is the amount of time a patient has without the cancer returning, and “distant metastasis-free survival” or DMFS, which is the amount of time a patient has without the cancer returning and occurring in a different part of the body than where it began.
