Holy hell, this guy is ignorant. The way cancer invades and manipulates host immunity resembles the way the resembles the way the placenta invades the wall of the uterus. This resemblance had been known for over a century. It's nothing controversial among cancer biologists. https://t.co/Wlo1RAGnJ5

Holy crap. I just noticed that Dylan is a medical student. Clearly, his medical school failed to educate him about cancer biology. How embarrassing for him.

We learned this in undergrad immunology at my conservative school in Texas in the 90's. It's an important concept for cancer biology.
