It's so sick to be living in a time when we have a vaccine for cancer
And also a group of people that will probably never take it because... vaccine.
Let’em croak 🐸
Naturale selection atp
And another group who would like to take it but won't be able to because of capitalism! Yay humanity !
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.
We have had a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer for over a decade.
To be fair that's a vaccine against HPV, not against certain malignant cells
(also since only cervical cancer gets mentioned: you can develop cancer anywhere, depending on where you get infected with the virus. Throat cancer being very common as well)
Yeah but like a cancer vaccine for actual people.
so sick
I wish you had chosen a different word to express excitement.
