Russia says it's developed a free cancer vaccine
The Daily Mail reported: "Andrey Kaprin, who heads the Radiology Medical Research Center of the Ministry of Health, said the shot will launch in early 2025, according to state-run media.The vaccine will apparently be used to treat cancer patients, rather than being given to the general public to prevent tumors from forming in the first place.
Previous comments by Russian government scientists suggest each shot is personalized for the individual patient, which is similar to cancer vaccines being developed in the West.
It is currently not clear which cancers the vaccine is designed to treat, how effective it is or how Russia plans to roll it out. The name of the vaccine has not been revealed.
Personalized cancer vaccines are designed to teach the immune system how to recognize and attack proteins specific to that patient's cancer. To do this, vaccines use genetic material called RNA from a patient's own tumor.

Yay for Russia. Figures they would beat the US. I didn't take the COVID jab but I definitely want the cancer shot. The CDC sucks.
I don't understand why we don't have a cure for cancer yet.
