How do mRNA vaccines help fight cancer? A @nature.com paper today tells the story, one with big implications, as reviewed here erictopol.substack.com/p/how-mrna-v...

A new Nature study found that people with cancer who received an mRNA COVID vaccine while on immunotherapy lived nearly twice as long. Median survival jumped from 20.6 to 37.3 months. That’s not a typo. Let’s talk about how, and why, that might be. 🧵
