    They’ve been working on a COVID vaccine since the SARS epidemic, but that fact won’t stop the stupid.

      Also, cancer isn’t one disease but a whole class of diseases. And we actually do have vaccines that prevent certain forms of cancer, like the HPV vaccine.

        There is also a lung cancer vaccine made in Cuba, called CimaVax (I think).

        There’s some hurdles to getting it though, depending on where you are.

      Also, the amount of computational power that was made available for COVID research was recorded breaking.

        I always found the tracking chip conspiracy stuff to be particularly funny. Unfortunately, I never personally met any whackos that believed it.

        The best method for very accurately tracking them was the thing they likely used to post about the COVID vaccine tracking you.
