Given that Russian doctrine is all about disinformation and deflection, is he actually worth listening to until there is something on the table?

I mean, Oncophage has been on the table for 16 years, I think it it was the world's first oncovaccine.

I'd rather die before injecting something from russia
Umm excuse me? Why was my comment removed about me rather dying then get injected from a terrorist country that loves killing people by injecting crap into them, or lying about everything they do to make themselves look good.
Maybe the removal didn't sync, but it's visible here
because this is lemmy.ml and saying anything bad about russia is XeNoPhOBiA lol
Great, I expect we'll see that any day now. /s
Two weeks!
does it involve falling out of a window
Suuuuure.
Created exclusively for and at the direction of someone who has cancer maybe?
"We're close, we promise, we don't want to fall out a window."
Cool
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
Cuba has had a lung cancer vaccine now for about a decade. The US is also testing mRNA cancer vaccines currently.
It's totally possible and it already exists. You train your immune system (that's the complicated part, you have to feed it some part of cancer cells and make it understan that's the bad guys. Which is very complicated) to fight the cancerous cells.
Let's not firget there are around 300 families of cancer and there isn't any vaccine against all of them obviously.
That said, from russia it is obvious bs.
Would it even be classified as a vaccine since cancer isn’t a virus?
Increasingly everything injected gets called that in popular media, it seems.
The article says he didn't specify what kinds of cancer he's talking about, or any exact timeline. You might be able to prevent a cancer, but all cancers seems pretty impossible, short of hypothetical nanobots that turn you into a disease-immune superhuman.
forceful inoculation of lead into the frontal cortex.... that's not a vaccine
