Amid reports emerging of first ever human trial of the cancer-killing drug being conducted, there are speculations about when will the drug be available in the market.
To those waiting patiently all these years, you will have to wait for some more time before the drug is available for treatment purposes.
The patients will not be able to get treated by the under-trial drug for at least another two years.
This is because the drug has just begun its human trial phase.
The trials are first aimed at determining whether the drug is safe for use in humans.
It will be only after that it will be tested for actively killing cancer cells.
The entire process is expected to take at least two years, and will be spread over many test sites.
Moreover, the drug will be administered to over 100 cancer patients who have received at least two other standard treatment procedures.
In a historic first, the human trial process for the cancer-killing drug which will be known as Vaxinia has just begun.

There have been dozens of shootings and other attacks in U.S. schools and colleges over the years, but until the massacre at Colorado's Columbine High School in 1999, the number of dead tended to be in the single digits. Since then, the number of shootings that included schools have killed 10 or more people has mounted. The most recent two were both in Texas.
ROBB ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, May 2022 An 18-year-old gunman opened fire Tuesday at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, killing 14 children, one teacher and injuring others, Gov. Greg Abbott said. The shooter died.
SANTA FE HIGH SCHOOL, May 2018 A 17-year-old opened fire at a Houston-area high school, killing 10 people, most of them students, authorities said. The suspect has been charged with murder.
MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL, February 2018 An attack left 14 students and three staff members dead at the school in Parkland, Florida, and injured many others. The 20-year-old suspect was charged with murder.
UMPQUA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, October 2015 A man killed nine people at the school in Roseburg, Oregon, and wounded nine others, then killed himself.
SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, December 2012 A 19-year-old man killed his mother at their home in Newtown, Connecticut, then went to the nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed 20 first graders and six educators. He took his own life.
VIRGINIA TECH, April 2007 A 23-year-old student killed 32 people on the campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, in April 2007; more than two dozen others were wounded. The gunman then killed himself.
RED LAKE HIGH SCHOOL, March 2005 A 16-year-old student killed his grandfather and the man's companion at their Minnesota home, then went to nearby Red Lake High School, where he killed five students, a teacher and a security guard before shooting himself.
COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL, April 1999 Two students killed 12 of their peers and one teacher at the school in Littleton, Colorado, and injured many others before killing themselves.

A perplexing case of a US man impersonating as a law enforcement officer for years has come to light.
The man, identified as Antione William Tuckson, hails from Maryland and has been arrested after over 15 years of his impersonation spree.
Tuckson was posing as a US marshal at the time of his arrest.
So what led to his cover blow up? It all happened because of a silly mistake.
It all happened when Tuckson, who was working at a local restaurant as its security official tried to detain two women over a bill dispute.
When the women left the restaurant, Tuckson pursued them and called for backup from Prince George’s County police.
The police officers grew suspicious when they realized he had left his dog, purported to be a police dog, at the restaurant, which seemed unusual.
Tuckson was in possession of fake props and a firearm. He even reportedly owned multiple vehicles with red and blue flashing lights.
The entire matter was unearthed and Tuckson's impersonation spree came to light.
Notably, Tuckson has served time for several felony convictions before.
Tuckson faces up to 17 years in prison if he is convicted.

In what could be a major breakthrough in curing cancer in humans, an experimental cancer-killing drug has been administered to the first human test subject ever.The of the trial is to find if the drug which has been tentatively named CF33-hNIS is safe for use in humans, and effective in killing off cancerous tumours. 
The drug is a genetically engineered virus that targets and kills cancer-causing cells and tumours. The name of the drug candidate is Vaxinia. 
CF33-hNIS is an "oncolytic virus" which was genetically modified to target, infect, and kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. 
CF33-hNIS is classified as a "chimeric vaccinia poxvirus" and it was developed by Professor Yuman Fong, Chairman of the Sangiacomo Family in Surgical Oncology at the City of Hope hospital in the United States of America. 
Oncolytic viruses, by design, target and selectively kill tumour cells, while simultaneously stimulating the immune system to act against cancerous tissue.

Billionaire investor George Soros has warned that Russia's invasion of Ukraine may be the beginning of the third world war and that the civilisation may not survive this war.
He also said that China's President Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin are tied together in an alliance that has no limits.
In his annual speech in Davos on Tuesday, Soros said the world must mobilise all resources to bring the war to an early end and the best and perhaps only way to preserve the civilisation is to defeat Putin as soon as possible.
"The invasion may have been the beginning of the third world war and our civilisation may not survive it," he said.
He also said that the invasion of Ukraine didn't come out of the blue and Putin had informed Xi about it well in advance.
Soros noted that Putin and Xi met on February 4 at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics and issued a long statement announcing that the cooperation between them has "no limits".
Putin informed Xi of a “special military operation” in Ukraine, but it is unclear whether he told Xi that he had a full-scale attack on Ukraine in mind, Soros said.
"US and UK military experts certainly told their Chinese counterparts what was in store. Xi approved, but asked Putin to wait until the conclusion of the winter Olympics," he said.
"For his part, Xi resolved to hold the Olympics in spite of the Omicron variant that was just beginning to spread in China. The organisers went to great lengths to create an airtight bubble for the competitors and the Olympics concluded without a hitch," he said.
Xi harbours a guilty secret. He never told the Chinese people that they had been inoculated with a vaccine that was designed for the original Wuhan variant and offers very little protection against new variants, Soros claimed.
In the meantime, Soros said Putin's so-called "special military operation" didn't unfold according to plan.
He expected his army to be welcomed by the Russian speaking population of Ukraine as liberators. His soldiers carried with them their dress uniforms for a victory parade but that is not what happened, he added.
He said Putin and Xi also have a lot in common, they rule by intimidation, and as a consequence they make mind-boggling mistakes.
"Putin expected to be welcomed in Ukraine as a liberator; Xi Jinping is sticking to a Zero Covid policy that can't possibly be sustained," he added.
While Putin seems to have recognised that he made a terrible mistake when he invaded Ukraine and he is now preparing the ground for negotiating a cease fire, the ceasefire is unattainable because he cannot be trusted, Soros claimed.
Further, Soros said that Putin would have to start peace negotiations which he will never do because it would be equivalent to resigning.
Soros also said Xi Jinping is bound to fail as giving Putin permission to launch an unsuccessful attack against Ukraine didn’t serve China’s best interests.
"China ought to be the senior partner in the alliance with Russia but Xi Jinping's lack of assertiveness allowed Putin to usurp that position. But Xi's worst mistake was to double down on his zero Covid policy," he said.
"Contrary to general expectations, Xi Jinping may not get his coveted third term because of the mistakes he has made. But even if he does, the Politburo may not give him a free hand to select the members of the next Politburo. That would greatly reduce his power and influence and make it less likely that he will become ruler for life," he added.

&ldquo;When in God's name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?&rdquo; Biden said at the White House shortly after returning from a five-day trip to Asia that was bookended by tragedy.
With first lady Jill Biden standing by his side in the Roosevelt Room, Biden added, &ldquo;I am sick and tired. We have to act.&rdquo; At least 18 students were killed, according to a state senator who said he was briefed by law enforcement, in addition to a teacher.
Just two days before Biden left on his trip, he met with victims' families after a hate-motivated shooter killed 10 Black people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.
The back-to-back tragedies served as sobering reminders of the frequency and brutality of an American epidemic of mass gun violence.
&ldquo;These kinds of mass shootings rarely happen anywhere else in the world," Biden said. "Why?&rdquo; He directed that American flags be flown at half-staff through sunset Saturday in honor of the victims in Texas.

Vice President Kamala Harris said earlier that people normally declare in moments like this, &ldquo;our hearts break &mdash; but our hearts keep getting broken ... and our broken hearts are nothing compared to the broken hearts of those families.&rdquo; &ldquo;We have to have the courage to take action ... to ensure something like this never happens again,&rdquo; she said.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden was briefed on the shooting by deputy chief of staff Jen O'Malley-Dillon and other members of his senior team aboard Air Force One.
Shortly before landing in Washington, Biden spoke with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott from the presidential plane &ldquo;to offer any and all assistance he needs in the wake of the horrific shooting in Uvalde, TX,&rdquo; White House communications director Kate Bedingfield tweeted.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's foreign tour has caused yet another political controversy back home.
Gandhi met UK politician Jeremy Corbyn in London and a photograph was tweeted by Indian Overseas Congress. Party leader Sam Pitroda was also present.
The BJP slammed Rahul Gandhi for meeting Corbyn, former leader of the Labour party. Union minister Kiren Rijiju said that Corbyn is "known for his hatred and dislike for India" and is also an advocate of Kashmir&rsquo;s secession from India. Rijiju accused Gandhi of going against his country.
In response, Congress leader Randeep Surjewala tweeted a photograph of Corbyn meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and asked whether it meant that Modi also endorses the UK politician's views. Surjewala added that meeting a person with divergent views is neither a crime, nor an act of terror.
The Congress leader received a response from BJP's Kapil Mishra. He claimed that PM Modi met Corbyn in 2015 when the latter was Leader of Opposition, and it was protocol.

A Turkish TV station aired a CCTV video showing men carrying bags reportedly containing the body parts of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The video shows three men carrying five suitcases and two black bags into the residence of Saudi consul general in Istanbul. A report by AFP adds, the residence is located very close to the Saudi consulate, where Khashoggi was reportedly murdered in October last year.

Ukrainian seaports remain blocked by the Russian Black Sea Fleet, crippling the country's export of essential goods including grain and oils.
At least 70 vessels - up to 95% of them being international ones - are blocked at Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
The impact is being felt by traders in the country, with Ukraine is losing millions of dollars due to the export issues while the failure to deliver essential goods, primarily grains, by sea has put world food security at risk.
"While we used to have about a 6,000000-ton turnover via ports and other transportation hubs, right now, we are at 600,000-700,000 monthly," grain trader Vitaly Lavrov said.
Hundreds of ships have also lost the chance to set sail in Crimea.
With boats not able to leave, fishing businesses on the peninsula have been suffering.
"The company is suffering losses," local businessman Andrey Bezukh said.
"We had 100 tons of flatfish and brill projected for 2022. And that's only a part of the whole quota for the Republic of Crimea which is 352 tons."
He added people had been forced to look for other work with ships not able to set sail.

The mass shooting at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde was horrific, but not new in America. At least 40 such incidents have taken place at American schools, colleges, and universities in 2022 so far. Reacting to the Texas shooting, US President Joe Biden gave an impassioned speech for change, but it is unlikely.
One of the biggest enablers of such shooting incidents is believed to be lenient gun laws, making it easy for people to buy firearms. But repeated attempts to make gun laws stricter have faced hurdle after hurdle in the US Congress.
Many legislators belonging to the Republican party oppose stricter laws, claiming that it would be a violation of the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, which states that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".

After the latest tragedy, Senator Ted Cruz said, "You see politicians trying to politicise it. You see Democrats and a lot of folks in the media whose immediate solution is to try to restrict the Constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens. That doesn't work. It's not effective. It doesn't prevent crime. We know what does prevent crime, which is going after felons and fugitives, and those with serious mental illness."
A few gun control legislations are currently being considered in the US Congress.
One of the bills, called the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021, has been passed by the House of Representatives. It was placed on the Senate's legislative calendar after the Texas incident. It aims to close the "Charleston loophole" which allows some licensed gun sales to conclude without a background check.
Another bill, called the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021, has also been passed by the House. The bill aims to expand background checks for all firearm sales or transfers. It has support from many legislators belonging to both Republican and Democratic camps.
But this is not enough to get it passed. When gun control laws reach the US Senate, they are come under threat from the filibuster.
The filibuster is a rule in the Senate which allows any member to block voting on a bill, simply by not letting the debate on it end. This can involve hours of non-stop speaking, sometimes through the night, to force the other side to withdraw or delay a decision on the bill. To overcome a filibuster and initiate voting, Senators pushing gun control laws would need 60 votes. And this means getting sizeable Republican support, which appears next to impossible.
So, why are Republicans against stricter gun laws, even if it means tragedies like the Texas one? One of the reasons, as President Biden suggested, could be gun lobbies, which do not want firearm sales to go down because of strict laws.
A more fundamental reason could be voter preferences. In a 2020 survey by Pew, 46% people said that the Republican party reflected their views on gun policy, while 42% said that the Democratic party reflected it better. In a 2021 survey by Gallup, 50% people were either satisfied with existing gun laws, or wanted looser laws. 41% were dissatisfied and wanted stricter gun laws.
