The vaccine appears to prime the immune system in a powerful, nonspecific way, enhancing cancer treatment outcomes. If confirmed, the discovery could lead to a universal cancer vaccine and transform oncology care.

    Man, what can’t the covid vaccine do. First it gave 5g. Then it was responsible for autism, now curing cancer!

      It’s a catch-22 for diseases. Nothing can survive my COVID-19 immunization, cell-reception, autism beam, and cancer-defiant aura all at once.

    Yuppp, this has been on the front page of Nature news for a few days. I was worried to share it because I was worried ppl would jump too quickly to conclusions, and all-things considered it appears that mRNA vaccine is a lot more… peculiar than what researchers would have imagined, in good and bad ways. We now have reports about the COVID vaccine doing things such as:

      For the breast one (the only one linked) causality couldn’t be confirmed (obviously). It started one week after the vaccine, and that’s all the evidence. Still something to watch, but one case isn’t very strong support.

    No, no, no, they locked up the cure for cancer ages ago. You can’t just go around rewriting long-established conspiracy history.

      They ignored the science that would tell them vaccines are safe and effective. There’s no chance they’ll believe this.

      It’s a cult now. Those things aren’t too big on facts or data.

      I’ve seen a lot of pages posting about this on Facebook (I know) and the comments are always filled to the brim with either bots or MAGA/MAHA folks claiming it’s bullshit and spreading blatant misinformation with absolutely nothing backing up their claims.

      More like I’m waiting for the world to get even stupider when we get some miracle cancer prevention vaccine and a third of the people in the US choose not to get it because freedom.

          Thank you for the accurate yet depressing clarification, lol.

          I mean, it’s so believable at this point that I’ll be more surprised if it doesn’t happen.

    I got nasty long covid and because of that, I’ve been making sure to get boosters every six months. Life is still more difficult with the symptoms, so it sure wouldn’t hurt if there was a silver lining for my experience - like better chances against cancer!

    I don’t understand how this works, but I’m not I really sure I need to at a deep level because I believe in science. I hope to not need to interact with an oncologist, but if I do I’ll have had a history of receiving the covid shot on the regular.

      It comes down to the whole theory of why viruses exist at all. They are not living organisms, so why is there an evolutionary advantage to having viruses infecting animals. Under age 60, a viral infection primes the immune system, and immunity deals with cancer events on a daily basis. Over age 60, the infections can trigger pathology that does the system more harm than good. Evolution does not care about anyone over 45. We are not even supposed to get this old.

      Many of these annoying cold viruses are RNA viruses, so these vaccines are priming the immune system without the viral damage.

      There is also a strong correlation between those fully vaccinated and a significant reduction in dementia, because influenza or RSV, etc., causes a massive oxidative stress than older humans cannot deal with due to mitochondrial efficiency tailing off with age.

      The more people refuse vaccines, the better the data correlations are getting. This was not easy to conclude 20 years ago, but now we have two clear groups of millions that either get vaccinated, or don’t.
