If it works that will be amazing.  With all this new DNA and mRNA technology there will be so many more treatments/vaccines/therapies in the next decade that will have quite an impact on the future of medicine.

I've read that they were working on the cancer vaccine when covid hit and saw the potential to convert it to coronavirus.  That's why they were able to produce a vax in record time --months rather than years.

>>individualized mRNA vaccine

I wonder how it is individualized and what that means for the cost of the vaccine. Of course, you can spend a lot of money for a vaccine if it avoids months and years of cancer treatment
