Covid-19 mRNA vaccines could help boost the immune system to fight off cancer, according to a study published in the journal Nature. The study looked at the clinical outcomes for over 1,000 patients with late-stage melanoma or lung cancer who were treated with a form of immunotherapy called immune checkpoint inhibitors.

The findings showed that “patients who received either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy were more than twice as likely to be alive after three years compared with those who didn’t receive either vaccine.”

    There is an old theory as to why viral infections benefit animals, the idea that an activated immune response was protective against other events. mRNA vaccines give the same benefit, without the viral pathology.

    The unethical human experimentation is currently being carried out in Red states.
