    I’m gonna be watching with popcorn when anti-vaxxers get cancer and definitely 100% will take this vaccine.

    I mean, if it’s true and not just shit science reporting that I assume it is.

    I have heard some interesting argument recently that cancers are probably caused by the body intentionally.

    The argument was something like “cancers fulfill the role that programmed cell death fulfills for individual cells”, i.e. it’s a form of suicide. That’s surprisingly good news (if true) because it means that cancer formation is controlled by signal pathways, which could be hacked.

      Biologically, this argument makes no sense, it’s almost certainly written by somebody not familiar with physiology and just trying to sound poetic. That or a journalists severely misinterpreting a quote or analogy from a researcher, which also happens quite a lot.

      Cancers have a gigantic variety of causes, but a purposeful signaling pathway is not one.

    Every cancer and every body is different. Why search for universal cancer vaccine insted for AI tha will analyze individual biopsy and persons blood work and came up with targetet 100 % efficient cure?

      You need to let the scientists know this! I’m sure your insights will be very valuable to them.

        I’m sure mainstream science will deny it’s true, you know how hung up they are on their glass beakers and flasks with colored water. Fukkin glass flask with colored water industry is keeping the truth buried. DOWN WITH BIG GLASS FLASK FULL OF COLORED WATER.

        Why have we been funding researchers when the true answers have been out there on the internet, where we train our valued AI partners? See, AI could have told us we should look to AI for all the solutions! But it needs genius randos on the internet to give them these insights to train on.

    Previous research has focused more on homing in on a target or tailoring a vaccine specific to a patient’s own cancer profile.

    “This study suggests a third emerging paradigm,” said study co-author Duane Mitchell, MD. “What we found is by using a vaccine designed not to target cancer specifically but rather to stimulate a strong immunologic response, we could elicit a very strong anticancer reaction. And so this has significant potential to be broadly used across cancer patients – even possibly leading us to an off-the-shelf cancer vaccine.”

    So… Kinda triggering your own auto-inmune response. But I’d be wary of trouble with overtly aggressive auto-inmune responses, as we already have quite a few diseases coming from these, as well.

        Because Hollywood is so insanely bad at portraying science even remotely accurately, literally everything sounds like the plot to a zombie movie.

        I’m not even kidding, I’m not in the biotech field and even I feel my eye twitch every time I see a movie with zombified lab animals smacking into the bars of their cages as the plucky heroes try to unravel what vile sins against nature those evil researchers uncovered in their hubris.

        As someone with an autoimmune disorder, I’m honestly not all that sold on whether that’s a good tradeoff.

        Yay, you’re not acutely dying of cancer, but now your body is attacking your internal organs and depending on how shitty your luck is, you can eg. look forward to liver and/or kidney transplants (possibly more than once, too)

    Curing (or at least improving our treatments for) cancer would be great. There’s a small part of me that absolutely does not want to see it happen within the next few years because of the current administration. It’d still be an overwhelmingly good thing to accomplish but I dread the future arguments over the time Dr. Don and Bobby got together in the lab to cure cancer through the power of Jesus, bootstraps and grit.

      My bet this one does cure cancer but makes your immune system too reactive in turn behave like how COVID kills people.
