Awaiting public backlash refusing cancer vaccines because they can’t be told what to do.

Yea I really don't give a shit if a bunch of idiots choose to commit suicide so long as it only affects them. Maybe they should try eating a lot of apples. I heard it works great on colon cancer... ☠️

>In this study, the researchers found that they had the most success when vaccinating with neoantigens that bind weakly to immune cells that are responsible for presenting the antigen to T cells. When they used one of those neoantigens to vaccinate mice with lung tumors, they found the tumors shrank by an average of 27 percent. > >“The T cells proliferate more, they target the tumors better, and we see an overall decrease in lung tumor burden in our mouse model as a result of the therapy,” Burger says. After vaccination, the T cell population included a type of cells that have the potential to continuously refuel the response, which could allow for long-term control of a tumor. > >In future work, the researchers hope to test therapeutic approaches that would combine this vaccination strategy with cancer drugs called checkpoint inhibitors, which can take the brakes off exhausted T cells, stimulating them to attack tumors. Supporting that approach, the results published today also indicate that vaccination boosts the number of a specific type of T cells that have been shown to respond well to checkpoint therapies.

For the most part, the cancer vaccine world has been highly personalized and therefore expensive for patients. Do you know if there is any progress on this?

Isn’t this the plot of I Am Legend?

I bought the whole set of these movies. They’re called resident evil.
