Anecdotally I have seen more patients with cancer over the last year and I do not have a cancer practice. ABS quotes "The number of deaths due to cancer was 8.1% above the baseline average in May 2023 and 1.7% above May 2022. Cancer deaths in January to May 2023 were 7.4% above baseline average and 0.9% above the same period in 2022." On so many levels the risk of future cancer is consistent with what we know about the Covid so-called vaccines. Inflammation, DNA fragment contamination, spike protein production without an "off switch", effects on IgG4.
At least we should be completely open to the possibility that this may be a long term problem.
It's possible the increase is due to the vaccine (or at least partially due to it), but the professor also pointed out that cancer was getting diagnosed less often during the pandemic, since people didn't get screened, and this might simply be a rebound. Another possibility is an increase in obesity, as we know that is also associated with cancer, and people in the Western world are becoming increasingly obese, and the pandemic didn't help - remember "Covid 15?" (link #1 below). It's also possible Covid infection is a contributing factor (link #2). As the good professor said, it's complex and not easy to investigate, but research on all the possible variables should be done.
The part about "a vaccine that has saved millions of lives" was not so balanced though. Much, if not all, of the life-saving effect was apparently due to healthy vaccinee bias. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2306683
I appreciate the interviews, but in my physical science work learned that it's important to avoid saying or writing anything that may be outright wrong. If there is no certainty, use a weasel word.
100% agreement is unrealistic, but humility is lacking from medicine.
It seems all we have at the moment is anecdotal evidence. With no diagnostics invented what else is there? Never in my life in a 20 month span have I known 7 people with a cancer diagnosis. 2 are dead, 2 in hospice, 3 treated and seem to be doing ok. For the vaccine injured a diagnostic test would have saved so much condescending behaviour from doctors. I don’t know but if they could get these vaccines out lickidy split, don’t you think diagnostics would be available after 3 years?
I had suggested Paul Offit, but this professor was a good choice! Very nuanced, and I'm glad he's not afraid to speak out, despite his hesitancy. (No doubt he has tenure and is too decorated to get fired). The fact that "turbo cancers" sometimes occur after immunotherapy suggests it's caused by the changes to the immune system, not the DNA contamination, unless immunotherapy drugs also have such contamination. Maybe you should get Buckhaults to check that out! It seems like for every medicine that is extremely helpful for most people, there is always a small minority for whom it's harmful. With AI helping to devise more personalized medicine, hopefully in the future we will be able to determine the different groups beforehand! Nice job, Maryanne.

The plural of anecdote is data :-)

Well balanced answers. I wonder if his non-scientist views would differ from what he answered here.

I find with most of my interviews, there's rarely 100% agreement on all issues....

Actually I don’t expect nor want 100% agreement on issues. That’s not realistic and nothing in science is 100%.
We can’t evolve and improve with 100%. That’s not how science works.
I just wish politics and money were left out of scientific discussions so we could all advance quicker.

Thanks Maryanne. You and the good doctor and Egyppius post confirmed my resolution - no more vaccinations.
