Polio virus is a good thing!

It actually does reproduce, that's how it works. They've removed the polio part, and inserted common cold part instead. The particular cancer they are targeting has a specific receptor on its cells, and the virus attaches and inserts itself there. The immune system then kicks in and attacks the infected cells.

Sad thing is, some big-pharma has it's fingers this probably, and it will be overpriced for many years, and our wonderful money driven health system will rule it experimental and not offer coverage. It'll be 20 years before the patents expire, and cost effective alternatives arise. Too late for too many.
