    It should really be clarified that this is not a vaccine in the sense of being preventative. It is a treatment after cancer has happened that can also work in tandem with other therapy. I have personal ire with whoever decided to call this type of treatment a vaccine but it is an established terminology now.

    The potential issues with this are numerous (as with most cancer therapy). Immune cell exhaustion, cytokine release storm, general tissue damage and dead cell clearance issues, etc. However, early data is promising.

    It’s part of a growing body of evidence that suggests mRNA vaccines might be a serious weapon in fighting the disease.

    Those are the vaccines for which the US Government is defunding research and trying to restrict access, because RFK Jr. and MAGA find things they don’t understand scary, and there is no shortage of things they don’t understand.

      Magas and Brainworms Jr. might be stupid, but he’s just the useful idiot doing the work of the heath insurance, pharmaceutical and medical corps.

      There’s a shit ton of money to be made from the sick, dying and desperate. The cure for cancer will bankrupt them all.

    mRNA

    Oops, sorry Americans.

    Enjoy watching your family members die of cancer because you choose stupidity.

    Now this for sure sounds too good to be true.

    Or it will give us all autoimmune diseases
