Western media ignores information about the Russian cancer vaccine with very high cure rates, claims pro-Russian blogger Dan Diaconu.
NEWS: Russia has reported extraordinary results for its anti-cancer vaccine. There is no mention of this in the West; it is being hushed up. However, when you report cure rates of 75% to 100%, it means we are dealing with a revolution. And the price of the vaccine? Almost zero. "We are entering an era in which cancer is no longer an incurable disease," says the Russian press, quoting scientists there. Bullshit, says the propaganda! Most likely, the Russians made the vaccine with chips taken from washing machines they stole from Ukraine. And I agree with them. However, the opinion of cancer patients in the West would be very different if they were given access to information.
NARRATIVES: 1. Russia has developed a highly effective cancer vaccine. 2. The Western media is censoring information about it.
PURPOSE: To promote the narrative of Russia's (scientific) "superiority" over the West, as well as an anti-Western discourse; to undermine trust in the mainstream media, the healthcare system and, by extension, state authorities; to provoke and amplify social tensions, and to validate its own conspiracy theories.
Vaccines do not cure, they only prevent
WHY THE NARRATIVES ARE FALSE: For a better understanding of the following lines, we would like to point out from the outset that vaccines, regardless of the disease they target, cannot have "cure rates" because they do not treat diseases, they only prevent their occurrence. Essentially, vaccines help the immune system recognize and fight pathogens—viruses or bacteria—before they cause a serious infection. In oncology, the term "vaccine" is indeed used more for personalized immunological therapies, but even in these cases, we cannot talk about treatment, i.e., a direct intervention of the vaccine substance on the affected cells, but rather about help provided to the body, which is "trained" to more easily identify and neutralize cancerous tumors.
Referring to the "Russian-made" cancer vaccine, we know that the Gamaleya Center in Moscow (known for developing the Sputnik V vaccine against COVID-19) has announced that it is working on a preventive cancer vaccine, intended specifically for people with a high genetic risk. It would be based on mRNA and viral vector technologies, designed to "train" the immune system to recognize certain mutations associated with cancer. At the end of 2023, Russian researchers reported the first preclinical tests on animals, with plans to test on humans, stating that the vaccine could be ready "in 5-7 years," but without publishing any studies in international scientific journals. Currently, there is no public evidence that these vaccines have been completed or approved for clinical use.
What seems closer to the truth is the development by Russian scientists of a classic therapeutic vaccine (with inactive viruses) for several types of cancer, which is still in the experimental phase, called EnteroMix. Several publications have reported on the statement by the head of Russia's Federal Medical and Biological Agency, Veronika Skvortsova, who said in early September that "the vaccine is ready for use and we are awaiting official approval." In reality, Skvortsova's statement either did not exist or is a reckless one, blatantly contradicting a previous statement that "the research has been conducted over several years, with the last three years devoted to mandatory preclinical studies." At this stage, studies focus on the safety of the therapy, not on a cure. In practice, it is only now that vaccines should enter the clinical testing phase, and in order to talk about "discoveries," years of testing and verification are required. But regardless of whether the statement is true or not, the news reported by the Russian news agency TASS spoke of a tumor shrinkage rate of only 60-80% of patients, not 100%. The claim of total success is simply a misinterpretation of the fact that Russian researchers announced that all patients in the initial study showed some immune response. It is also important to note that cancer drugs are never measured by "100% success rates." In reality, clinical trials analyze survival, tumor regression, recurrence, and long-term safety. In the absence of credible evidence in scientific publications, oncology journals, conferences, etc., we can say that the information is nothing more than propaganda or, at best, an exaggeration by Kremlin fans, a conclusion reinforced by the announcement of the price of the vaccine – "almost zero" – given that research, testing, and production itself are extremely costly.
Similarly, the claim that "in the West, they are hushing it up" is false. Numerous Western publications and news agencies picked up on the story, but, much to the disappointment of pro-Russian Dan Diaconu, the headlines did not announce any major discovery, but merely stated that Russia claims to have developed a vaccine against cancer. At the same time, the reports specified that the tests are only preclinical, the research is in the very early stages of testing, and, above all, there is no evidence published in major scientific journals. Among the major publications that have written about the Russian anti-cancer vaccine are Snopes, Newsweek, and Economic Times. Moreover, information about the Russian researchers' studies had been circulating in the Western media since February 2024. But what borders on the ridiculous is that the most significant censorship on the subject was instituted by the Gamaleya Center itself, which has not published any news in English on its website since 2020.
We cannot conclude without mentioning that, in terms of cancer vaccine research, countries such as the US, Germany, and even China are at much more advanced stages than Russia, but for now, there is no universal, approved cancer vaccine. What sets Western achievements apart from the Russian ones is that they are public, verifiable, and accepted by the international scientific community. While Russia is still in the phase of promises and initial research, the US and Germany seem closer to introducing the first personalized vaccines on the market, but this is not expected to happen for another 8 to 10 years.
Whoever praises Russia, the world sees you
CONTEXT: Dan Diaconu, who describes himself as an economic analyst, is a pro-Russian blogger whose website is a conglomeration of conspiracy theories, fake news, and misinformation on most current topics, as well as articles in which Russia is considered a model state and its aggression against Ukraine is praised. His "economic" articles are in fact eulogies to countries outside the "globalist" circle, presented as models of success, with the idea of showing that prosperity can be achieved even if a country chooses its own economic model, based on a policy that is totally independent of that of various international organizations, especially those in which the US and Western European countries have an important say.
Over time, Diaconu has promoted several false narratives and pieces of anti-American disinformation, such as those claiming that partnerships with the US lead to bankruptcy, while agreements with Russia ensure prosperity, or the one about Moscow's technological superiority over Washington after a non-existent capture by Russian forces of a state-of-the-art American drone. At the same time, Diaconu constantly promotes "classic" narratives of anti-Ukrainian propaganda, such as those claiming that leaders in Kyiv secretly hold American citizenship, or that Ukrainian pilots trained in Romania are drunkards and incompetent, as well as baseless lies and speculation, such as the claim that Ukraine is selling its land to Poland, or that the Ukrainian secret services are behind the attempted assassination of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.
In addition, Diaconu keeps a kind of frontline diary on Telegram, in which he informs his followers about the victories of the Russian army, excessively praising its successes on the battlefield. Moreover, when he announces the conquest and destruction of a new Ukrainian town, he speaks of its "liberation."
