I've got a friend's kid alive because of these newer immunotherapies. They're a great advancement in successful outcomes, and not having the misery of chemo is a very, very nice bonus.

I read that as a dismissal of the title: as you have experienced, chemotherapy is horrible. “Kinder” there can feel like a comically low bar.

But this is wonderful progress. Let’s hope is a lot kinder.

That's the point. If kinder to find the leader of a terrorist organization and shoot him with a handgun than it is to nuke their headquarters and the whole city surrounding it.

The innovation is in the "search" part.
