@ned @hyc > Cancer vaccines weren’t a proper field of research before the pandemic. There was nothing. Apart from one exception, pretty much every clinical trial had failed.

That's not really accurate, Dr Jim Allison literally won a Nobel prize for it in 2018 after spending decades fighting against big pharma who said it won't work. He even cured his own cancer with it.

We've been doing comparative oncology for a long time studying this with dog and human patients as well. You can get experimental cancer vaccines for dogs and horses. I did it for my dog (it's not cheap), and it worked for a while but then the tumor outpaced his immune system. Lots of horses have been cured with Oncept. (both horses and dogs have very similar cancers to humans; mice do not)

COVID just made the mRNA tech way more affordable and the mRNA tech is the best way to make them
