Does this person think cancer is a virus?

Why do I suspect they don't even know what a virus is? Like they hear the word on the news but have no idea what it means, they just know virus means disease and never cared to learn about the underlying biology.

Cancer can be caused by a virus, but it can also be caused by other things.

There are cancer vaccines already approved and many more in trials. There is no singular "cancer", though, so they have to work through each type individually.
