Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online A cancer-research nonprofit is offering customized, experimental vaccines to people with advanced cancers at a price that raises ethical questions. The Jaime Leandro Foundation for Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines, founded in 2020, works under the Food and Drug Administration’s “compassionate use” program to deliver unapproved treatments to those who have exhausted other options. But unlike most treatments in that program, patients foot the $83,000 bill for the vaccines, putting it out of reach for most people. Foundation leaders said they would prefer to administer the vaccines for free, but the organization runs a deficit. They said the price covers only “the direct costs of designing and manufacturing the vaccines” and that the FDA has approved their expenses. Ethicists also worry the program might give people false hope, and even an expert who said “the biology is pretty solid” estimates the treatment is one to five years away from FDA approval. Only nine people have received the vaccines so far, three of whom later died. ([Boston Globe]( Judy Heumann, who led a movement to integrate people with disabilities into every aspect of public life, has died at 75. Heumann, who contracted polio as an infant and used a wheelchair for the rest of her life, waged a successful campaign in 1970 to become a teacher in New York City schools. Then in 1977, seven years after the federal government had outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities by any institution receiving federal funds, Heumann organized the San Francisco contingent of a national protest to force long-delayed enforcement of the law. The sit-in lasted for almost a month, and that movement paved the way for the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act in 1990. Heumann also founded, advised, or worked with disability-rights groups and institutions including the World Bank, the Ford Foundation, and Human Rights Watch, and she served in the administration of Bill Clinton.
