Does revolution mean to go round and round and round and round about finding yet another a cure for cancer. So desperate to find another use for the failed, experimental non vaccine. It does annoy me when the covid jabs are still called Vaccines. Covid-19 mRNA vaccines are not fucking vaccines. You have to have a new one every year, so they do not ptotect you for life. Real vaccines protect you for life they will soo…

> Real vaccines protect you for life From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetanus_vaccine > Td and Tdap are the booster shots given every ten years to maintain immunity for adults nineteen years of age to sixty-five years of age.

Yup, went to Haiti and had my antibodies tested for Tdap and MMR before going. One of them I had to get titers for...I think Tdap?

Some pretty interesting stuff that hits home for me. I was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2021 and I had an army of family and friends trying to find me a covid vaccine when it was only being offered to seniors 65+. Finally had a friend volunteering at a vaccination clinic which had some leftover and called me in. I wouldn't have considered it might impact my cancer treatment outside of them being unable to operate if I had covid.
