7. It's exciting about cancer, but it makes me uncomfortable about mRNA vaccines.

We were assured that the Covid mRNA vaccine - the first of its kind which was ushered out hurriedly just for Covid - would not have effects other than allowing us to ward off Covid.

Obviously, we are willing to take risks to fight cancer, but if it's causing a substance to be produced that is acting as a general immune system boost, I think it needs a lot more studies conducted to find out exactly what is being acted upon on the molecular level before it is used as the basis for any other new, routine vaccines.

But hooray for the cancer impact. I would use it in a heartbeat if my breast cancer ever returned.
