I hate to be that person, but cancer vaccines have existed for a couple of decades now (not to mention "cancer" is a whole list of different conditions that don't have a singular solution and will never have a single vaccine).
This might be the first of its kind, and it's still great news and I hope it passes trials, but I'm just so sick of these click-baity headlines.. (Also Tory-graph use a subscribe-wall, so even if you do click, you can't read what cancer it will be targeting)
(this is nothing against OP, just the article)
Thanks! My first thought was "hey, what about HPV?"
Exactly. I went to double check how long it's been around before posting, and wiki tells me that wasn't even the first.
This is good news regardless, worth celebrating for what it is, why they have to make shit up to catch attention (for profit) is just so frustrating..
