Monday

Although I am in complete remission, I am undergoing maintenance treatments every 3 weeks.

I was first diagnosed in 1990 with lymphoma.

I thought perhaps the same thing that mRNA COVID vaccine may help my chemotherapy but had no logical reason to think so.

But I get COVID boosters on a regular basis; at least annual; not for that but because I am immunocompromised.

There are some promising trials that they use mRNA vaccines, not COVID vaccines, for other cancers, like pancreatic cancer.

It could be used for other cancers as well.

Trump and RFK Jr are the wrong persons to spearhead such a venture with their conspiracy-bent minds.
