    I never said you were an antivaxxer screaming. ;) That's what that tweet is alluding.

    How do you know since 40% of cases are non-symptomatic?

    I thought this was a known result of people NOT going to the Doctor for regular exams, checkups and screenings from March of 2020 through February 2021.

    Seems more logical. At one point you couldn't even get optional procedures and I think a lot of people pushed back things that could save their lives like colonoscopy. Colon cancer is incidentally one of the types of cancers on the rise for people under 55 according to a Google search.

    Correct - about the time that people started going back to the Doctor and actually getting diagnosed. We've known about this for quite sometime now.

    people staying at home ordering fried chicken using uber eats for two years. it's not that hard.

    funny thing now covid is out of sight and out of mind that it was all fake. where i live there's a long waiting list for people needing a hospital bed. just don't break a leg horseriding or be pregnant, lol.

    Cabin fever stress, inactivity, and covid are all factors.

    I do think vaccines can contribute but it wouldn't be the only reason.

    lol, it's usually the same folks who claim hospitals and agencies overcounted covid deaths from comorbidities are also eager to overcount vax related heart complications...

    If you're implying it's vaccine related, cancers do not result immediately after exposure to something that causes cancer. It takes time and chance. This bump was due to people not going to the doctor for the past year.
    I do question how bad Chernobyl will be on a global health for excess cancers. More 40 year olds are getting cancer than before, and people say it's lack of exercise and poor diet but I am less convinced.
