To say this is very interesting about covid mrna vaccines?

They potentially 'turbo charge' immunotherapy cancer treatments

The TB vaccine is also used to treat some bladder cancers.

One of the first covid vaccines was the result of research into cancer therapy. What's interesting here is that the vaccines were designed to target something that was unrelated.

@XWKD Yes, agree.

I was also interested in the large scale French study.

I'm just completely confounded by the number of people that seem determined to ignore the evidence that these vaccines are not only safe, but potentially beneficial, including the US government.

Very interesting - thanks for sharing

Correlation ≠ Causation

DM started immunotherapy for cancer in late 2020, since then has had all the Covid vaccines that category 1 vulnerable people got - so absolutely loads of vaccines. The immunotherapy (for stage 4 metastases from bc to bone) has managed to keep her alive for 5 years so far.

Fascinating. The regulatory environment is starting to be infected with vaccine skeptic groupthink in the RFK era so its great that there is a mounting body of evidence to back the benefits of mRNA.

Um, yes? And I suspect the researchers conducting these studies understand that. Which is why they state upfront that it's observational and randomised controlled studies are needed.

Wow! Thanks for posting this.
I had immunotherapy throughout 2019-2020.
Now trying to think when I had my first covid vaccination.

It is anti-vaxxers who need to be reminded of this, not actual scientists.

Hope you're doing well @Sweetiedarling7

I am thanks. Well so far so good anyway.
We may have had a shitshow going on in our government at the time but thank fuck we didn’t have Trump’s mate Robert Kennedy Jnr as health minister or all I would have been offered was bleach and vitamins.

This is not, in fact, a genius rebuttal to everything. They don’t stop with the correlation, they look for the mechanism. The correlation is a potential signpost to be evaluated.

As I've just started immunotherapy and a covid jab two weeks ago I watch with interest.

My sister has been on immunotherapy since 2019 for metastatic breast cancer & of course had all the covid jabs, and she told me recently the radiologist no longer can detect liver and bone metastases. Coincidence? Who knows. She originally was given an extremely dire prognosis.
