You got me for a second there.

I thought you would make a "the onion" joke of florida plan's to send cancer patient to work the fields as a "treatment" for cancer.

I'm surprised (and kinda of relieved?) that your comment is actually about a new scientific discovery.

Oh yeah it's very exciting. In 2024 a vaccine that targeted glioblastoma, an especially nasty brain cancer with an almost zero survival rate. The vaccine mimics certain aspects of tumor cells, triggering a fast, vigorous immune response that attacks the actual tumor. Encouraged by the results, they've somehow generalized the vaccine over the past year to stimulate an immune response to cancer cells in general. Immunological therapy is totally different from chemo or radiation, and a generalized approach is vastly different from what the whole field has been doing for decades. Very promising.
