The vaccine appears to prime the immune system in a powerful, nonspecific way, enhancing cancer treatment outcomes. If confirmed, the discovery could lead to a universal cancer vaccine and transform oncology care.

I don't understand how this works, but I'm not I really sure I need to at a deep level because I believe in science. I hope to not need to interact with an oncologist, but if I do I'll have had a history of receiving the covid shot on the regular.

    It comes down to the whole theory of why viruses exist at all. They are not living organisms, so why is there an evolutionary advantage to having viruses infecting animals. Under age 60, a viral infection primes the immune system, and immunity deals with cancer events on a daily basis. Over age 60, the infections can trigger pathology that does the system more harm than good. Evolution does not care about anyone over 45. We are not even supposed to get this old.

    Many of these annoying cold viruses are RNA viruses, so these vaccines are priming the immune system without the viral damage.

    There is also a strong correlation between those fully vaccinated and a significant reduction in dementia, because influenza or RSV, etc., causes a massive oxidative stress than older humans cannot deal with due to mitochondrial efficiency tailing off with age.

    The more people refuse vaccines, the better the data correlations are getting. This was not easy to conclude 20 years ago, but now we have two clear groups of millions that either get vaccinated, or don't.
