I just read about that vaccine research you mentioned, and it sounds very promising…but here’s my question:
Researchers claim that the vaccine stimulates a protein (PD1) inside the tumor so that the body reacts to it as if it’s reacting to a virus. It revs up the immune system and it fights the cancer.
But recently, it was shown that a Covid or similar viral infection could, in fact, wake up dormant cancer cells, and cause them to proliferate.
So how is revving up the body’s immune system to fight cancer as if it were a virus DIFFERENT from the body’s immune system actually fighting a virus? And in so doing waking up a long dormant cancer?Seems like completely contradictory results to me.

Virus wakes up dormant cells in different way that your immune system. Immune system has many levels of operation and that is why you have different lines of "white" blood cells PLUS immunity on pure biochemical level. Our immune system is supposed to kill off cancer and it does ! It is only when our immune system is not doing its job that we get a cancer, not to mention mets.
Immune system works on very fine biochemical level and can quiet easily distinguish what is a friend and what is foe WHEN it is healthy, strong and functioning correctly.
When it is weak or overactive - we have a problem. In the first case all bad actors proliferate without being eliminated, in another our body overreacts with high level of inflammation that can be deadly (cytokine storm) or one develops autoimmune disease.
Why COVID activates cancer - that is now question that needs further research. It could be that inflammation is so great that our immune system is so overwhelmed and stops keeping mets in check ! OR, some substance that is exuded during that level of inflammation is a motor oil for cancer DNA. Don't forget that COVID virus actually attaches to prostate membrane !!! Now, we have whole line of viruses that are known to CAUSE cancer ! They invade our cells and insert so called oncogenes in our DNA and our cells become cancer cells. The most known one is herpes virus - one that causes genital warts and that is why there is a vaccine for that virus - to prevent uterine and penile cancers.
I think that calling immune-therapy for cancers "vaccination" is wrong, and of course , confusing for general population. They should come up with different terminology . especially nowadays where so many people are anti vaccination.

Nice catch! The immune system is quite diverse. About 30 years ago Jerome Groopman, MD of the then New England Deaconess Hospital (now Beth Israel Lahey) said that the human immune deficiency virus (HIV) will prove to be the Rosetta Stone of the Immune System. If you look at the ads for drugs on TV ( between the 'Morgan & Morgan' ones) many end in ab. (antibody). So, the cytokine storms during SARS-2 pandemic were a reaction to a novel virus in those who were by genetics or were otherwise predisposed by demographics. I am sure the researchers were aware or certainly have now become aware of this potential.
[PS: I remember reading in High School about the discovery of the Rosetta Stone. But it wasn't until i walked passed it in London's National Museum did I get and understood its real importance. The Louvre's armless Venus de Milo statue required a double take when I first saw it, this was a long time before the soup splashers thought the Mona Lisa looked better with a corn chowder wash] PPS: Even useful vaccines when given to a sick child can prove catastrophic.
