Hopefully this is true and the Russians have developed such a vaccine. One thing is true. The cure for cancer will come when a vaccine is developed that will induce the immune system to destroy cancer cells that contain unique antigens. Most serious oncology research these days focuses on immunotherapy, not chemotherapy.
but if mRNA-based... run, don’t walk away...
Late 19th century. Coley’s Toxin. Postulated to stimulate immune system by exposing immune system to bacterial toxins which made immune system kill tumor cells. Could not reliably reproduce effects. Renewed interest now.
Look it up for an interesting read.

It’s sad that people are so blinded by Russian hatred that they can’t see the potential in this gene therapy method for treating cancer. The approach makes perfect sense to me. Rather than injecting a chemical in the body that takes a blunderbuss approach, gene therapy is custom designed in each individual case to instruct the immune system to attack only specific cancer cells. Granted it has to be subjected to more trials, but the approach is a sound one.
