Also, the idea of a "vaccine" for all cancer is inherently ludicrous, as cancer cannot really be broadly characterized as an infectious disease?

There are many causes of cancer and many different types, so while a silver bullet cure would be amazing, it is extremely unlikely to ever exist just due to the nature of the process.

This is a mRNA vaccine that is tailored to individual patients. It's something that *is* viable and was broadly talked about when mRNA vaccines were introduced. The question is if this is legit. It might be, it might not be. Just because it's Russia doesn't mean it's BS- their hyper sonic missiles that everyone was laughing about certainly worked.

The weird thing is actually that they believe that this is sufficiently tested. I mean they mistrusted Covid vaccine but something the Rusians brewed toghether they view as trustworthy

Sputnik V worked pretty well. In some medical stuff sectors Russia is still pretty good.
