Scientist behind Covid-19 mRNA vaccine says her team's next target is cancer
I don't quite follow.  The whole shtick with problem cancers is that your immune system is ignoring them for whatever reason.  mRNA vaccines work by priming the immune system for something it would attack anyway, but under safer circumstances since there's no real virus in the vaccine.  What can the mRNA create that the immune system will train on given that the immune system isn't attacking the real thing to begin with?<p>(And to be clear, this obviously is a piece I'm missing rather than a hole I'm trying to punch in their work.  They're way smarter than me and wouldn't be working on this unless they had a clear idea)
