How come we don't post cancer panic-porn on this site for old folks, where nearly https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo.../list/everyone is already vaccinated and immune to Covid, but at high risk for cancer, for which there is no vaccine?

I see people smoking in the Villages all the time. Shouldn't we be hounding them relentlessly to quit smoking? Think of all the black lung pictures we could post and endlessly comment on! We could have a "7 stages of dying from lung cancer" thread that would make Covid look like a bout of hay fever!
There is only one vaccine at this time that is available to prevent one kind of Cancer and it is widely given to young teens.


Covid can be prevented or made less deadly. Get vaccinated. Don't die like this or lose someone you love.
