Title: Cancer and mRNA vaccines
Post by: ergophobe on August 19, 2026, 10:35:53 PM
I know this is all over, but still... mRNA vaccines have now shown success with operable pancreatic cancer and late-stage melanoma.

Cancer vaccines may come into widespread use... just as measles and polio vaccines go out of fashion.

Some of my 'emergency' anemia treatments (due to a very rare condition) required me to check into the hospital Infusion Center for a couple of IVIG treatments.  Most of the patients in IC are being treated for cancer. It was a sad place.
