Right? Not all cancer is the same on a cellular level and to think there would be a vaccine against “cellular mutation” as a broad topic would be asinine. Especially since a lot of those mutations are from environmental exposure.

I’m certainly not one to dismiss scientific progress, but call me skeptical about the 1,000th cure/treatment/vaccine for “cancer” announcement this year.

One imagines there are many cure/treatment/vaccines because there are many different cancers

Yet they all scream "we have found a cure for cancer!" As if they have found one for all of them.

They have literally found a cure for cancer. This is one application.
