A number of countries and companies are working on cancer vaccines. Last year the UK government signed an agreement with Germany-based BioNTech to launch clinical trials providing “personalised cancer treatments”‚ aiming to reach 10‚000 patients by 2030. Pharmaceutical companies Moderna and Merck &; Co are developing an experimental cancer vaccine that a mid-stage study showed cut the chance of recurrence or death from melanoma – the most deadly skin cancer – by half after three years of treatment. There are currently six licensed vaccines against human papillomaviruses (HPV) that cause many cancers‚ including cervical cancer‚ according to the World Health Organization‚ as well as vaccines against hepatitis B (HBV)‚ which can lead to liver cancer.

During an annual call-in show taking pore-screened questions‚ Putin voiced hope the immunization drive could help avoid a nationwide lockdown. Russia on Wednesday reported 21‚042 new infections and 669 deaths — similar to numbers it has been reporting daily since June 24. The number of reported deaths was a record for a single day for the country. While reaffirming his position that vaccinations should be voluntary‚ Putin emphasized that decisions by local authorities in regions across Russia that made shots mandatory for some workers should help contain the surge. Those decisions were based on the law and “aimed at avoiding the need for a lockdown‚ when entire enterprises shut down and people are left without their jobs‚ without their salaries‚” Putin said. As 100 Percent Fed Up reported‚ Moderna has launched a trial for an experimental mRNA ‘vaccine’ for cancer in the United Kingdom. The therapy‚ which utilizes technology from the COVID-19 shots‚ was given to patients at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. “Cancer patients in the UK are receiving a new therapeutic to help their bodies recognise and fight cancer cells as part of a global trial‚” Imperial College London stated.
