Maybe. This one is plant-based, so might be viewed as more "natural", even though we humans are quite far from being plants.

The successful results of a phase I clinical trial suggest that plants could provide a safe, inexpensive reservoir to "grow" vaccines for the common human cancer, according to a study published tomorrow (July 22) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.


The virus is scratched onto the leaves of a tobacco plant, where it begins to replicate. After a week, the plant is harvested, the protein quickly purified, and the vaccine injected into the patient. Total time from biopsy to treatment averages three to four months, according to the paper. Animal-based vaccine production for B-cell lymphoma takes double that time, said Levy.

There is a certain irony in the plant blamed for so many millions of cancers, will be used to grow a cancer cure.

Well, obviously they can now shriek about all vaccines being full of tar and nicotine.

Par for the course for these scumbags.
