This statement is misleading and overgeneralized. It can be a life-saving treatment for many cancer patients. Chemotherapy does temporarily weaken the immune system, but it doesn't destroy it: https://www.vinmec.com/eng/article/how-does-chemotherapy-affect-the-immune-system-en https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/center-news/2016/01/chemotherapy-immune-system.html The claim of permanent damage is overstated: https://www.healthline.com/health/cancer/how-chemo-affects-the-body Heart Effects: https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2018/cancer-treatment-heart-side-effects Brain Effects: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/managing-cancer/treatment-types/chemotherapy/chemotherapy-side-effects.html https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/treatment/chemotherapy/side-effects/late-effects

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1867260634347229446

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
