    I wonder if mRNA vaccine treatment for cancer is what they are referencing.

    From what I was able to understand (and maybe somebody can correct anything I’ve gotten wrong), the “vaccine” is tailored on a per-individual basis to target key protein markers of a petients particular cancer. This allows the body to identify and start to attack the cancer where previously the immune system would not be able to tell the difference between healthy and cancerous cells.

        For Russia? IDK, seems a little unusual, they’re not exactly on the cutting edge of medicine. Also, any claim Putin makes should probably be treated with extreme skepticism.

            Isn’t Cuba kinda famous for being on the cutting edge of medicine (at least in some regards) despite stuff like embargoes?

    Is a cancer vaccine even possible as a concept? Would it even be classified as a vaccine since cancer isn’t a virus?

    Obviously creating preventative measures for cancer would be amazing but I figured that wasn’t even a subject we were broaching since treating it is hard enough
