‘Universal’ cancer vaccine developed

I fully expect that  most cancers will be a thing of the past in the not too distant future. People alive today might come to live in a society that looks upon cancer much as we look upon syphilis… sure, it exists, but you get a shot and it’s over.

I also fully expect that before too long, bacterial diseases that we’ve come to regard as minor irritants easily cleared up with a shot will come back with a  vengeance. So, we’ll trade people dying from cancer for people dying from a paper cut.
