We have had a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer for over a decade.

To be fair that's a vaccine against HPV, not against certain malignant cells

(also since only cervical cancer gets mentioned: you can develop cancer anywhere, depending on where you get infected with the virus. Throat cancer being very common as well)

Yeah but like a cancer vaccine for actual people.
