That too, to develop anything actually usable with a confidence that it works you would need fairly large trials.
I think you misread the story. It says
I think you misread it as "we will create comprehensive, all-purpose oncovaccines", when in fact it just says "we will create oncovaccines", which is pretty likely given that it's 2024 now. To use your analogy, it's like saying they're close to creating some vaccines for some respiratory viruses, which is plausible.
I don't get why you say, "any and all... all kinds of cancers developed in secret and finished and released at the exact same time." There is nothing like that in the story – besides which, it just doesn’t make sense for a real set of vaccines.
I also don't understand why you said they'd be "developed in secret", as there's no reason to think that and it doesn't make sense.
