200+ types of cancer and 3 vaccines preventing about a dozen types.

It would still have been unthinkable even quite recently

True, but it's one-by-one. A dozen types down is good. Do another dozen, and another dozen and so on.

A partial solution is better than no solution.

a dozen down, a couple hundred to go. maybe one day we'll have a vaccine panel we give to children to prevent all the most common cancers like we do with viral vaccines. that would be cool.
