Some Australian crypto-schizo basement vibe-coded a cancer vaccine for his dog.

• Aussie IT guy adopts a shelter dog with terminal cancer — vets say she’s got a couple months left
• refuses to give up
• pays $3,000 to sequence the tumor DNA
• dumps the data into ChatGPT and AlphaFold
• has zero formal biology background
• finds mutated proteins, matches them to drug targets
• designs a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch
• professor of genomics is basically like: what the hell, this random dog owner actually did it
• then comes the real final boss: ethics approval
• bureaucracy takes longer than designing the vaccine
• 3 months later — approval finally comes through
• he drives 10 hours to get Rosie her first shot
• tumor shrinks by half
• her coat gets shiny again
• dog is alive, happy, wagging
• professor says: “If we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we doing this for humans?”
