How 'Interesting'

So this is weird...

Check out page A12 of the Times Union today.

Skin cancer 'vaccine' sees progress

Huh. That struck me as a bit odd.

So I dug through my archives.

Interesting.

"Cancer vaccine passes the test"

"Merck suspends lobbying for vaccine"

Etc.

All those stories about Gardisil portrayed it as a "cervical cancer vaccine", despite the fact that it is not a cancer vaccine, it's supposed to prevent the virus that causes many cases of cervical cancer. Yet the paper never described it as a 'vaccine'.

Odd, now this "novel treatment...called a cancer vaccine, even though it treats disease rather than prevents it" rates a pair of 's around 'vaccine'.

The story itself drops the 's, but just seeing a more accurate headline is interesting.

Wonder why the change in heart at the AP.
