15.2 VAERS Signal for Cancer
Cancer is a disease generally understood to take months or, more
commonly, years to progress from an initial malignant transformation in
a cell to development of a clinically recognized condition. Since VAERS
reports of adverse events are happening primarily within the first month
or even the first few days after vaccination [209], it seems likely
that the acceleration of cancer progression following vaccines would be
a difficult signal to recognize. Furthermore, most people do not expect
cancer to be an adverse event that could be caused by a vaccine.
However, as we have outlined in our paper, if the mRNA vaccinations are
leading to widespread dysregulation of oncogene controls, cell cycle
regulation, and apoptosis, then VAERS reports should reflect an increase
in reports of cancer, relative to the other vaccines.
This is in fact what VAERS reports reflect, and dramatically so. Table 1
illustrates events involving the most common cancers reported to VAERS
in the US, cancers either newly identified or stable disease newly
progressing. It compares reports related to COVID-19 vaccination to
reports related to all other vaccinations over the 31-year history of
VAERS information collection. To obtain this table, we searched the
online resource, http://wonder.cdc.gov/vaers.html, for search
terms indicating cancer, such as “cancer,” “carcinoma,” “mass,”
“neoplasm,” etc., and summed over all hits related to a particular
organ, such as “lung.” These data were collected on December 12, 2021.
Notably, there were three times as many reports of breast cancer
following a COVID-19 vaccine, and more than six times the number of
reports of B-cell lymphoma. All but one of the cases of follicular
lymphoma were associated with COVID-19 vaccines. Pancreatic carcinoma
was more than three times as high.
This cannot be explained by reference to a disproportionately large
number of people receiving an mRNA vaccination in the past year compared
to all other vaccinations. The total number of people receiving a
non-COVID-19 vaccination is unknown, but over the 31 years history of
reports VAERS contains it is unquestionably many orders of magnitude
larger than the number receiving an mRNA vaccination in the past year.
Overall, in the above table, twice as many cancer reports to VAERS are
related to a COVID-19 vaccination compared to those related to all other
vaccines. That, in our opinion, constitutes a signal in urgent need of
investigation.
