The researchers found that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines could potentially help patients whose tumors don’t respond well to traditional immunotherapy.

    Remarkably, patients who received either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy were more than twice as likely to be alive after three years compared with those who didn’t receive either vaccine.

    just exercising some healthy skepticism here, wouldn’t people that didn’t take the vaccines just be more likely to have died of covid, and also be an indicator of other poor choices? or is there some extra math im missing that accounts for immunodeficient exemption vs choosing no vaccine, etc?

    I can’t wait for the mental gymnastics anti-vaxxers use to try and dispute this.

      Ah, but you see, cancer is all natural.

    This does not surprise me, glad the professionals are honing in on it!

      Care to elaborate? Because this seems pretty surprising
