@harvey44 For me the big benefit was that when C19 finally found me in 2023 (I'd made it through 3 outbreaks while I was in hospital without catching it), it started out with severe-enough symptoms to take me to the ER, but I couldn't take the normal treatments like Paxlovid or Redesivir because they conflict with the Erleada (Apalutamide) that's suppressing my stage 4 prostate cancer.

When I told the ER doctor that I'd been 3 or 4x vaxxed (I no longer remember the exact number), he said "Oh, in that case you'll be fine", and he was right: within a few hours my temperature came down and my resting heart rate dropped back below 100. I was home for a late lunch, and recovered fully in a few days.

There's literally nothing they could have given to help me if the COVID had continued as it started (or gotten worse) — just put me on oxygen and pray, I guess — so I'm grateful my body was well prepared to fight it.

Hi Harvey, this article is about immunotherapy for cancer and COVID vaccine can not and does not fight cancer in any shape or form.

Vaccine in this case just activates immune response for the immunotherapy agents such as is Keytruda. For some reasons such immunotherapy medications work MUCH better once person is vaccinated with mRNA vaccine. Vaccine alone has no effect in treating cancer.

I’ve had at least nine Covid shots. My cancer has stayed undetectable for two years after 15 years of prostate cancer. Not sure it’s helping, but it’s sure not hurting.
