25 Sep 2021 – <\/em>Can covid vaccines cause cancer? In some cases, the answer appears to be yes. To be sure, there is no evidence that covid vaccines themselves are carcinogenic (i.e. cancer-causing). However, it has been shown that in up to 50% of vaccinees<\/a>, covid vaccines can cause a temporary immune suppression or immune dysregulation (lymphocytopenia<\/a>) that may last about a week or possibly longer.<\/p>\n

In such a case of immune suppression or dysregulation, if there is already a tumor somewhere \u2013 known or unknown \u2013, or if there is a predisposition to some type of cancer, covid vaccines could potentially trigger<\/a> sudden tumor growth and cancer in the weeks following vaccination. Of note, lymphocytopenia has also been frequently observed in cases of severe covid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the immunological level, a similar mechanism appears to be triggering the post-vaccination reactivation of latent virus infections<\/a>, most notably VZV (i.e. shingles), but also EBV (Epstein-Barr) and HPV. The vaccine-induced temporary immune suppression is also a likely factor contributing to the post-vaccination spike<\/a> in coronavirus infections, observed in many countries.<\/p>\n

The extent of the vaccine-induced tumor growth and cancer issue remains uncertain \u2013 it might be very rare \u2013 but there are already a few thousand such case reports in the notoriously incomplete official adverse event reporting systems<\/a> and in vaccine-related online patient groups<\/a>, although some of these cases may certainly be coincidental or due to lockdown-related delayed diagnosis.<\/p>\n

In August, US clinical pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole<\/strong> described a significant increase in certain types of cancer (e.g. endometrial cancer) since the beginning of the covid mass vaccination campaign (see video excerpt below; full video here<\/a>). More recently, German pathologists also noted<\/a> the issue of post-vaccination immune dysregulation and sudden tumor growth in some patients.<\/p>\n
