The clinical development of the vaccines is largely the same - just run concurrently in collaboration with scientists around the world. As I said, much of the technology used for the covid-19 'plug and play' vaccines were already in existence and being developed prior to the pandemic which is why a lot of the pre-clinical steps could be skipped. All they needed to do was plug in the genetic sequence of the coronavirus.Cancer is clearly a different type of disease but the principles of training the immune system to attack certain agents with vaccination can be similarly applied. You are just training the immune system to spot cancerous growth rather than coronaviruses. The messenger RNA vaccines are an exciting possibility for this. https://www.clinicaltrialsarena.com/news/first-patient-dosed-in-biontech-phase-ii-trial-of-mrna-cancer-vaccine/This is not about the UK forcing people to get the vaccine - clearly, that is a breach of human rights. However, people shouldn't be turning down the vaccines based on lies and information spread online. I stick with the science and the science says that it's better to have a vaccine than to get covid or even worse, long-covid.
