Should governments investigate possible links between Covid vaccines and rising cancer rates?

87 replies

Germany is holding a parliamentary inquiry into its COVID response — including how the mRNA vaccines were approved and rolled out. And during that inquiry, a former Chief Toxicologist for Pfizer Europe, Dr. Helmut Sterz, was called to testify.

Under questioning, he said that several key safety studies were not carried out before approval, including long-term carcinogenicity testing. He told the committee that the approval process was accelerated so quickly that important toxicity studies were sacrificed in order to save time.

He also stated that the substance used during the clinical trials was not identical to the one later mass-produced for the population, saying the manufacturing process introduced contamination with bacterial DNA.

Those are serious claims. And they’re now being discussed inside a national parliament, not just on social media. The inquiry is also examining whether side effects and vaccine injuries were expected to be investigated after the vaccines had already been rolled out, rather than fully understood beforehand.

Whether people ultimately agree with his conclusions or not, the fact remains, there has been a noticeable uptick in the rates of many types of cancer since 2021 and therefore should not our governments and health authorities be tasked with investigating a possible link, if nothing else to rule it out as coincidence?

There is no harm in investigating it.

However, I think the vaccine is highly unlikely to be oncogenic (cause cancer) whereas there is a fair amount of evidence that Covid infection (especially severe infection) may well be oncogenic.

It is like a lot of the much-hyped side effects of vaccines. They are real, albeit rare, but an order of magnitude less than the risks of infection with COVID.

Vaccines are incredible drugs but nothing has zero risk. The whole point is that they are infinitely safer than the disease itself.

It's nigh impossible to do 'long term toxicity testing' when you have a novel virus that is killing people circulating. If you waited to do those tests before releasing the vaccine, then many, many more people would die. And at the end of it you may well find that toxicity isn't an issue.

Dr Wilson of Debunk the Funk on YouTube is always worth listening to. He's got a PhD in molecular biology and has spent years going through all the Covid literature and debunking the conspiracies and misinformation. This one is about cancer and Covid:

A virus that wasn't even that deadly? And as of 19th March 2020 (4 days before lockdown), no longer considered by UK health authorities and UK government to be a high consequence infectious disease (link and text below). But we still locked down anyway? I wonder who leaned on Boris to make that decision?

"Status of COVID-19
As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be an HCID in the UK. There are many diseases which can cause serious illness which are not classified as HCIDs.
The 4 nations public health HCID group made an interim recommendation in January 2020 to classify COVID-19 as an HCID. This was based on consideration of the UK HCID criteria about the virus and the disease with information available during the early stages of the outbreak. Now that more is known about COVID-19, the public health bodies in the UK have reviewed the most up to date information about COVID-19 against the UK HCID criteria. They have determined that several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (low overall), and there is now greater clinical awareness and a specific and sensitive laboratory test, the availability of which continues to increase."

In the elderly and frail I would perhaps agree. Highly debatable though for anyone in good health and under 70 years of age. As for vaccinating young people, teens and children who were at a tiny, tiny, risk from Covid - well that vaccine would need to be shown to be pretty bloody safe if it's to be given to all and sundry.

Hmm... Not sure. Yes the rates of cancer is slowly increasing and it seems to be more in younger people. This could well be lifestyle changes over the years and also better diagnostics. It could be simply a mix of chubbiness less exercise an aging population poor food or less healthy food. So it is hard to pin all the blame on one thing like the jab

Yes, and quite possibly pesticides and plastics contributing.

Also you have tonbe clear you are looking at age-specific cancer rates. As treatment for high blood pressure and high cholesterol is getting more effective, people are living long enough for their cancer to develop/become apparent. Eg my Mum is in her 90s despite a lot of heart and respiratory issues, because all have been effectively managed - and she has just this month been diagnosed with (non life-threatening) cancer. Her cancer diagnosis is really part of a medical success story, as she us amazed to have lived long enough to receive it!

Money lost from lockdown? Depends who you are talking about. Small businesses were often crushed, whilst large corporations made billions. Lockdown policy oversaw the largest ever transfer of wealth in history from ordinary people to the already hugely wealthy.

Funny how our government can find £37 billion at the drop of a hat to fund a 'test and trace' programme, yet can't find enough money to pay to train a few more nurses.

I think most people was impacted financially by lockdown ultimately? It's not just small businesses going bust. There was furlough for a start. That's paid for by everyone via tax ultimately. You don't have to like it for that to be fact.

I thought you coming at this from a scientific point of view? One day we will have a pandemic that has the perfect storm of high death and high transmission as we see in other species like bird flu. I don't hold that viruses are made up to line the wealthy pockets. Covid was real. I have worked in disease control for decades. But from the real science side.

This is just not true. You can’t just look at mortality.

There were plenty of hospitalisations needed amongst people of all ages. It was mainly the old and infirm (including obese) who died from it or needed intensive therapy, but it was a very unpleasant disease with long term sequelae for many of all ages.

We could argue about the minutiae of whether you were less infectious if vaccinated (most studies show that, even if still infectious, you were less infectious and for a shorter time), but the vaccine programme did a fantastic job on the whole.

DierdreDaphne · 26/03/2026 09:26

Saying things like "I wonder who leaned on Boris" definitely makes you sound like a conspiracy theorist @Adrianne1988 , even if you don't identify as one!

itsthetea · 26/03/2026 09:33

When were the vaccines rolled out and when did cancer rates in younger people start to rise? Have we invented time travel as well?

Dariein · 26/03/2026 09:35

There’s no harm investigating it. Covid infections have also been linked to increased risk of cancer and reactivating dormant cancer. There are recurring waves of covid each year and long covid continues to increase.
There will be various factors influencing the increase in cancer, some of which have been mentioned on this thread.

It is true, there were no practically no healthy children in the UK who died from Covid and very few who died 'with' Covid. Of the small number of children who did die, over 75% already had severe underlying health conditions.

We could have done with locking down at least a week earlier, I feel there was a delay that cost the UK time as more cases were able to develop from spread. A virus doesn't need to be 'that deadly' (not sure how deadly you want it to be?) to still be harmful. There are many who still suffer with the aftermath of Covid to this day.

It's all very well looking back at decisions made with 20/20 hindsight but we didn't have that luxury then. Pandemics come with a cost. To lives, not only in terms of death rate, but also effects on mental health, jobs, the economy, trust in the government (which understandably plummeted as some ministers clearly thought they were above regulations) and so on.

A 2024 Cleveland Clinic study found that the 2023-2024 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine provided some protection, but also indicated that the risk of COVID-19 increased with the number of prior vaccine doses received:

Yes of course it should be investigated.

Adrianne1988 · 26/03/2026 09:46

Six years ago, the entire nation, near the entire world - was put under lockdown. Not for an influenza-like illness, but for something far more dangerous.

We lived through a pandemic, yes - but not of a virus. This was a pandemic of media manipulation, government propaganda, corporate corruption and psychological warfare on humanity. And now, six years on, we have to ask…what have we actually learned?

We’ve learned that they hold total control. That they can rewrite the rules of society overnight, based on “emergency powers” that were never legally binding, yet still somehow dictated every aspect of our lives. This wasn’t about public health…this was a global obedience test. A live experiment to see how quickly they could get people to comply, how easily neighbours could be turned against each other and how rapidly fear could be weaponised into control.

We saw friends reporting each other for breaking rules that changed by the week. We watched as “key workers” were exalted, while others were shamed or discarded entirely. They restructured society into tiers of importance. They elevated some, silenced others and broke apart the very fabric of community.

They purposely divided us…masked vs unmasked, jabbed vs unjabbed, compliant vs defiant. While they preached about unity, they embedded division into everything they did. And in the background, they passed protest laws that stripped away our fundamental human rights. They didn’t just remove freedoms, they acted as though we had to earn them back. Every rule they introduced was just another move in a prolonged psychological game of gaslighting and coercion.

They played the public like puppets… “Eat Out to Help Out” one minute, locked inside again the next. Go out, spend money, support the economy - only to be blamed for the next “wave” and punished with tighter restrictions. It wasn’t public safety. It was a three year training programme in emotional abuse and compliance.

All the while, real lives were being lost in the most horrific, inhumane ways. People died alone in hospitals, without comfort or final goodbyes. Family members were denied the right to sit beside their dying loved ones. Care homes were locked down like prisons. And behind the scenes, the government authorised blanket Do Not Resuscitate orders - without consent, without discussion…sentencing tens of thousands of elderly people to death.

Midazolam was pushed into the care system in bulk (a powerful sedative used to hasten the end) and those deaths were added straight to the Covid death count. They murdered our elderly while we were told to “protect the NHS”. “Protect Granny” was engrained in us by the very system that was being used to implement silent euthanasia…And while all this was happening, they did exactly what they liked.

They had parties. They flew around the world. They sat shoulder to shoulder at wine and cheese gatherings. They laughed in our faces while we were told to stand on our doorsteps and clap. Behind the scenes, they handed out billion-pound contracts to their friends and donors. They made themselves richer than ever.

FACT - The largest surge in people becoming billionaires in UK history happened during the Covid years.

While small businesses were shut down, families relied on food banks and mental health spiralled out of control, the elite class doubled their profits. They dangled Bounce Back Loans in front of struggling business owners, knowing full well the repayment terms and interest rates would destroy them later. It wasn’t support - it was bait….And as per usual, the banks cleaned up.

Those contracts? Many were awarded to companies with zero experience - just the right political connections. PPE deals worth millions vanished into thin air. Some of the kit never arrived. Some of it was unusable. But the money was spent and no one was held accountable. They got away with daylight robbery, while the rest of the country struggled to breathe under the weight of restrictions. Test and trace cost £37 BILLION pounds of tax payers money, only to merely exist 3 years later… this was nothing short of money laundering.

Then, let’s not forget the damage done to our children…the most innocent victims of all. Two years of stolen education. Playground tape. Zoom classrooms. Fear. Isolation. Confusion. A spike in youth mental health crises. A rise in self harm, suicide and eating disorders. They say it was for their safety, but nothing about it was safe. It was trauma, inflicted by policy.

This wasn’t just incompetence. This was narcissistic, state sanctioned abuse. It was calculated. It was deliberate. It was control…and it was murder. Genocide.

We must not forget. We must not “move on” like they want us to. We must not let them rewrite the narrative. Because next time (and there will be a next time) - they’ll be faster. More efficient. More ruthless.

Let this be the lesson…your government cannot be trusted. They will never be for the people. They will always be for themselves. They will use your empathy against you. They will use fear to control you. And they will smile while they do it.

Never forget what they did.

Hindsight is great foresight.

On another note re cancer prevalence amongst younger people, I've often thought that we have no idea about nuclear testing and the Chernobyl/Sellafield incidents either. Seems to me that the younger people all getting colon and other cancers now were born around the time of Chernobyl. But then again why haven't all demographics got cancer? Maybe they do.

It's just something that comes to my mind.

How will you react if another pandemic comes along (which it will one day) - will you refuse jabs, lockdowns, masks, whatever is needed to protect your fellow human? Or will you rebel?

What about something more likely in the near future - an 'energy lockdown' of sorts that may arrive on our doorsteps very soon (check out Australia, NZ, and various Asian countries where fuel rationing is happening thanks to the Iran/US/Israel war). Would you comply with restricting your journeys in a car, using applicances less, etc. Or would you refuse?

Unarguably there were horrific things that happened during the Covid pandemic - the worst in my opinion was people dying alone without relatives present, this was heartbreaking. Also the treatment or lack thereof, of the elderly. However I do not believe it was a 'plot' or 'plandemic'. What happened showed human nature at its worst, those who would manipulate the system for their own gain. Most of us won't forget that.

It's clear you are still angry about it, that's OK. I find it better to move on and just be aware, I don't want anger clouding my judgement and feelings.

The Chernobyl accident is fascinating in that scientists believed the entire exclusion zone around the reactor would be like a 'dead zone' with nothing living. They couldn't have been more wrong!

There is thriving wildlife, which is, I suppose, very encouraging.

Thyroid cancer is the main disease outcome from a nuclear accident like that, and certainly thyroid cancers went up sharply afterwards, primarily in children and teens. There are plenty of papers published about it. Colon cancer I would imagine more generally is connected with gut exposure to carcinogens, plenty of those in our foods, sadly.

The lab leak theory has now been (beyond reasonable doubt) shown to be correct. And even if you actually believe it was a serious pandemic, the best thing you can say is that it was extensively weaponised by large corporations and vested interests (to make money, gain influence), and by governments to bring about increased surveillance, and usher in other agendas that the public would otherwise (had they not been propagandised into being deeply fearful) have rejected outright.

I feel you are going into conspiracy theory territory here and that's got no place in scientific debate.

The reality is there are a exponential viruses waiting to jump the species barrier or a slight mutation away from being a pandemic. It does worry me at all. That's the beauty of nature.

Saying things like it was manufactured to fund big pharma is something people tell themselves because they don't like the fact that we can't control nature or death and is insensitive on the cancer board.

Is Bird flu buncombe too? CJD? Such as shame big pharma has no cure for either. Humans inventing and controlling disease for income streams.

I disagree with you that it's 100% correct. I know world famous virologists who say there is just no evidence at all that it came from a lab. No evidence.

Agree 1000%. It seems now people are more likely to believe those E graders than people with actual expertise in the field and many decades of research.

Goldfsh · 26/03/2026 10:51

Of course there was no "long-term testing"!! But the usual processes were followed: just at a massively accelerated rate.

Research into all of this is continuing - an inquiry won't do research, so cannot draw conclusions about the long-term impacts! But the main thing that changed in the year that we got the covid vaccines was... covid. The long-term impacts of that are huge.

I've read that the recent up-tick in lung cancers may be due to covid causing long-term damage to lung cells which makes them more susceptible to cancers.

Goldfsh · 26/03/2026 10:53

"the best thing you can say is that it was extensively weaponised [...] by governments to bring about increased surveillance."

OP this is very silly. We give all our data to Google anyway. How exactly did covid help governments increase surveillance?

graceinspace999 · 26/03/2026 06:59

It should be looked into.
The vaccine is still being given to people.
This was a novel virus and new vaccine so research should be ongoing.

Research is ongoing. There are medical professionals looking for links between all sorts of ailments and all sorts of causes on an ongoing basis. These people are professionals and are using verified data to do their work. If any link or suspected link is found it will be reviewed and dealt with accordingly.

Colon cancer I would imagine more generally is connected with gut exposure to carcinogens, plenty of those in our foods, sadly.

It used to be an over 50s disease but younger people for last 20 years are increasingly getting it.

It's often blamed in diet but they recently found a surge in early-onset colorectal cancer (under 50) is linked to a bacterium Escherichuna coli producing a toxin called colibactin . This toxin damages DNA and causes specific mutations that are over 3 times more common in young patients, likely due to childhood exposure.

Not to say diets and modern food production couldn't be why there is more of this bacterium around or that it's changed due to modern world.

They used to say stomach ulcers where caused by stress and that was medical hard fact then some researches went to extrme lengths - one infected themself - and found H. pylori bacteria was the cause. Then later found H. pylori bacteria only started to cause issues when bodies were under stress.

Cervical cancers were linked to the contractive pill uusage at one point now researchers proved it's mostly linked to HPV infections.

I can believe the new vaccines cause auto immune diseases in sections of the population and that being seen by some in field treating them- certainly I know my cycle was affected and that was dismissed - but I suspect if there were obvious links to cancers researcers would be finding them and looking already.
