Reply to comment by Fritzo2162 in Cancer mRNA vaccine completes pivotal trial by ILikeTasks

Yeah, I agree, and I admit I'm a little cynical. Like, my dog can get vaccinated for Lyme's disease, but people can't.

I've read that the bigger push is the kind of care that costs a lot and "manages" a disease, versus outright cures (obviously all kinds of research is still happening) so I just always keep that in the back of my mind when I read about new drugs and research.

There IS a vaccine for Lyme disease, but it fell victim to negative press that lead to insufficient demand, so it was discontinued. Antivaxxers won that round.
