Conventional vaccines are faster to produce compared to mRNA vaccines.

Conventional vaccines are more effective in stimulating the immune response than mRNA vaccines.

Conventional vaccines contain mRNA while non-conventional vaccines do not.

Because conventional vaccines are not effective against viruses that cause cancer.

Because most cancers are not caused by viruses. (correct)

Because non-conventional vaccines have been proven to have no side effects.
