ADT drugs and COVID 19 vaccine

Since ADT drugs like Xtandi, and the COVID 19 vaccines both block a type of signaling between cells , I wonder if anyone has checked to see if the combination is safe?

RNA vaccines are quite different from the ol “grow it in an egg” flu vaccine

What is the signal the RNA vaccine for covid 19 blocks? I believe the mRNA vaccine for Covid 19 instructs the vaccinated cells to produce the spike protein of the SAR-Co V-2 virus. The expression of this protein by the vaccinated cells generate the immune response.

Covid-19 vaccines do not affect androgen receptor signaling. There is a LOT of signaling going on in our cells.

As long as the signals don’t get crossed, I suppose we are ok .... you never know

I am hoping that all the focus ($$) on creating the new RNA covid vaccine could lead to scientists finding new cancer treatments using the same cellular pathways.

I totally agree! If they came up with a vaccine in 8 months or so Imagine what they can do for Cancer! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Exactly my thoughts.... (and don't forget how fast they came out with meds to fight AIDS).

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
