Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a new mRNA-based vaccine that, when combined with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy, significantly boosted anti-tumour activity in mouse models – raising hopes for a universal cancer vaccine that activates the immune system more broadly.

In a recent study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, scientists demonstrated that combining the experimental vaccine with a checkpoint inhibitor drug triggered a powerful immune response, leading… read more

There is so much conflicting info. on this subject. I have decided NOT to CV continue any more covid vaccinations, though I did have a total of three in the past. I still got covid two times that I know of by testing positive at home. My covid experiences were more like a cold with more fatigue than a usual cold. I 100% believe in the flu shots for me, s i received them every year being in healthcare, except for the one yr. that I skipped getting it and I was so sick with the flu that yr. Thus flu shot = For me. This information on the vaccine for cancer is very promising. I have become more and more of a skeptic against Big Pharma and Physicians after researching and experiencing such negative effects from the Aromatos Inhibitors only to find out that they were to improve my distant recurrence by ONLY 2-3%!! Which is not what the oncologist and other Cancer doctors ( Breast Surgeon Oncologist, Radiation Therapy Oncologist told me. They told me the chances were much more than that which is not the truth or accurate 🫤🤔

You are correct @A MyBCTeam Member those who don't support the covid vaccines and believe they are the cause of MANY health problems people have now and even deaths are not conspiracy theorists. I don't look for results of those vaccines, I see links to stories when I am reading something else unrelated . I will never trust the drug industry with all the drugs they push. But there are people who do, so be it.

@A MyBCTeam Member I'm the same way about Big Pharma and physicians pushing drugs, changing drugs, ignoring side effects of the drugs. 20 some years ago, I had more respect but what I have seen since the roll out of covid vaccines up until now with cancer drugs I have no respect . Sinister. Corrupt. No conspiracies about it.

While you have the total right of your opinion, I am not into conspiracies. Covid vaccines were put together within half a year. Polio, MMR & Other actual vaccines went through years of testing before even becoming available and then more time for FDA approval. Covid vaccines were fast tracked, they just wanted something available and they were given to people before they were approved by the FDA.
MMR vaccine and Polio were live virus vaccines and prevented the diseases. Covid was not . That shot should be taken off the market.
covid jan 2020- covid shots Dec 2020
So some people claimed wear a mask to protect yourself. So they wore one and others chose not to wear one and took the risk of getting covid.
This subject is still controversial and the people pro covid vaccines and the people anti covid shots are not going to change.

There’s one thing we need to be aware of. While they call these cancer vaccines, it’s not the same type of “vaccine” in the classical sense and which you need to be scared of. I have researched this a lot myself and these “vaccines” function in a completely different way than the Covid or flu vaccine. They are called vaccines because they get injected. But that is all. They are very specifically developed to target various cancer antigens or to boost the immune system specifically for cancer, and many of these are extremely effective. This will be the future of cancer care and will replace chemo and other meds, and possibly even surgeries. And for sure radiation, which also is now questioned for its effectiveness.
So, while we always need to maintain our critical thinking, we also need to understand what this will mean and not put them all in the same basket as the past Covid or other vaccines.
Another thing I’ve seen is no matter what happens in science, very wealthy people will always get things the crowds don’t get. It’s really so! It’s always been like that and always will be. If there’s a new vaccine for the masses that’s not customized, you bet the wealthy get the customized version of it. I’ve done the rounds of private clinics and this is exactly what I’ve seen. Unfortunately this is the reality. But whatever you get as a patient in a hospital is never going to be the same as a politician or an actor or a royalty who will get total personal and unique treatment .
