    <description>Within the supplied cancer-care cohorts, the findings do not support interpreting peri-treatment SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination as improving immunotherapy-related survival. The abstract describes the observed early-pandemic association as largely attributable to selection bias involving more favorable-prognosis patients.</description>

    <description>The authors frame the findings as relevant to vaccination policy, arguing that controlling for healthy-vaccinee bias is important when comparing vaccine effectiveness and that, during a period of high vaccine availability and COVID-19 mortality, Moderna was associated with lower COVID-19 mortality than Pfizer. A higher Moderna dose is suggested as a possible explanation.</description>
