I can't wait for the mental gymnastics anti-vaxxers use to try and dispute this.
Ah, but you see, cancer is all natural.
This does not surprise me, glad the professionals are honing in on it!
Care to elaborate? Because this seems pretty surprising
Oof. That is a big ask because I am not an expert on the topic; just learned and wise. If you are willing to burn quite a bit of energy, I could use a LLM to explain the topic.
Off the top of my head, in my currently tired, flu-ish state: Research has shown that our bodies integrate information (DNA) from viruses/bacteria. In a very basic sense, viruses are able to change our DNA. Surviving an infection is a form of upgrade/mutation. You are still you, with the information held in the virus now part of yourself.
Evolution.

Remarkably, patients who received either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy were more than twice as likely to be alive after three years compared with those who didn't receive either vaccine.
just exercising some healthy skepticism here, wouldn't people that didn't take the vaccines just be more likely to have died of covid, and also be an indicator of other poor choices? or is there some extra math im missing that accounts for immunodeficient exemption vs choosing no vaccine, etc?
edit: nvm. looking at extended data fig. 2 of the paper, there is definitely not the same overall survival boost with the flu and pneumonia shots compared to the covid mRNA.
