An oncolytic virus is a virus that preferentially infects and kills cancer cells. As the infected cancer cells are destroyed by oncolysis, they release new infectious virus particles or virions to help destroy the remaining tumour.[1][2] Oncolytic viruses are thought not only to cause direct destruction of the tumour cells, but also to stimulate host anti-tumour immune system responses.[3][4]
I heard that Instagram influencers are losing contracts with advertisers due to the pandemic, which would be the first time that a virus killed a cancer

Actually...it's not at all the first time. Viruses are being used to treat and possibly cure cancer now.
The theory came about after looking back at the medical records of people who spontaneously had their cancer go into permanent remission.
