I guess we can’t expect better than “the jab” from “the guardian.”
Test subjects were administered Amivantamab.
England has referred to vaccines as jabs long before it started to be used as a pejorative.
Nobody is confusing which meaning they meant.
Use of the word to mean vaccine is just reductive and awfully informal.
it doesn't mean vaccine, it just means an injection of any kind - at least in the UK
I remember reading somewhere that (especially) Russian disinformation campaigns learned British English. They, pretending to be American anti-vaxxers, spread it to the dialect of the dumbest Americans.
'Jab' is basically a case study in skipped localization.
But this drug is not a vaccine.
If you do not understand the difference between a monoclonal antibody and a vaccine, fuck off down voters.

OOTL: what’s wrong with jab?
It's just awfully informal and reductive for something life-saving and sophisticated.
Imagine a paramedic saves your life and you call them a meatsack.
I would most likely have said they were shocking someone, rather than administering defibrillation, though both are just round about ways of saying they were turning someone's heart off and on again.
The fact they administered what I consider a mind blowing treatment by way of jab just goes to show what amazing things humans can do.
I've only heard it in the context of antivaxxers. Apparently it goes back further in the UK, but that's when it broke containment.
All the antivax bullshit started from the piece of shit grifter doctor Andrew Wakefield back in the 90s in the UK.
Well, the guy who kinda caused the modern anti vax movement is an UK export, might be that.
My parents fucked to have me.
Vs:
My parents had sex to have me.
Or even:
my parents were on the bed doggy style, when my mom was on hands and knees on the bed while my dad was behind here thrusting his huge penis into her very tight vagina over and over. She loved every second of it and so did he. They loved eachother very much and entrusted eachother enough to allow this raw behaviour into their bedroom each night of every day. As the penis reached climax, it injected billions upon billions of spermatozoids into her vaginal cavity. Each sperm only had one goal.... Swim, swim! If the egg is encountered then go into it to inject the DNA that would become me. All but one would encounter they demise.
Yes, they say as much in the article
Just checked the wikipedia page. This compound is only specific for certain types of tumors (epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR, exon 20 insertion mutations.)
I was afraid this could be all fake. But not, is just clickbaity reporting.
Cancer is over 300 different diseases. Some are curable, others are not, some drugs works wonders for some types of cancer and do nothing for others.
Anytime you read "cure for cancer" it will be clickbait bullshit, what the Guardian is famous for.
