Apologies, but I don't seem to be able to edit my post, so I thought I'd add it on the end instead – I think I sound quite harsh about current vaccine strategies, and that's not at all my intention. To clarify, I'm absolutely not saying that vaccines will never/cannot work as a therapeutic, I was just trying to say that it seems it's going to be more difficult to make them work therapeutically than it will be to make them work in a preventative setting, due to the reasons detailed above. I view a new set of experiments regarding a vaccine for prevention as an addition to research into vaccines and other methods of tackling stage IV cancer, not as a replacement.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the reply Bonnets. Glad you agree with what I've written. I just think is such a promising branch of research, that could save so many lives (hundreds of thousands if you think long term), that it's criminal it's *not* being funded or investigated. Almost 350 views of this thread so far, and a single reply. Come on guys! If you agree with my sentiment, and you want research into a preventative vaccine to become a priority, for the sake of the future generations, please post a comment below. Anything will do. The more replies we get, the more this organisation, and others, will have to pay attention, and the more likely we are to be able to get something like this to happen. We can do this – but I can't do it on my own.
