Does COVID19 Vaccine Really Lead to Increase in Cancer, Other Health Conditions? Here's the Truth

Netizens are posting again claims that a U.S. Department of Defense data shows that COVID-19 vaccines have resulted in a spike in cancer and other medical conditions among military workers.

While most active-duty service members have received the COVID-19 vaccine, the Pentagon has had to let 8,000 people go because they refused to comply with the vaccination requirement.

As part of a compromise to adopt an $858 billion spending bill until 2023, U.S. legislators lifted the immunization requirement on December 15.

Information from the film "Died Suddenly," released on sites like Rumble and Bitchute in late November, has been cited in the Facebook posts, AFP reported.

The Stew Peters Network's film was viewed millions of times despite repeating myths regarding the COVID-19 vaccine health risks that have been disproven.

A roundtable discussion held by Republican Senator Ron Johnson in January in response to COVID-19 vaccine mandates for military members is included in the video.

Ohio attorney Thomas Renz and U.S. Army flight surgeon Theresa Long, affiliated with America's Frontline Doctors, testified at the conference.

They were both associated with America's Frontline Doctors, a group known to propagate COVID-19 misinformation.

Whistleblowers' Data About COVID-19 Rumors Are Incomplete and Incorrect, Military Spokesperson Says

According to Theresa Long and Thomas Renz, a surge in COVID-19 vaccine-related complications was visible in the platform Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) used by military physicians to monitor healthcare data in the year 2021.

Ron Johnson reportedly wrote to U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in February and said that "whistleblowers" had discovered a rise in the number of DMED registrations for miscarriages, cancer, and many other medical disorders in 2021 compared to the five-year average (2016-2020).

However, a military spokesman noted that the presented data is based on incomplete data collection before the use of the COVID-19 vaccine and that the given figures, such as a 300 percent increase in miscarriages, an almost 300 percent spike in cancer diagnoses, and a 1,000 percent increase in neurological issues, are not credible.

Peter Graves, Defense Health Agency (DHA) chief of media operations, told AFP that DHA's Armed Forces Health Surveillance Division (AFHSD) conducted a thorough evaluation of the information in the DMED and found inaccuracies for the years 2016-2020.

According to RTL, Graves noted that the AFHSD found that a very tiny percentage of actual medical diagnoses for the years 2016-2020 were reflected in the overall number of diagnoses available in DMED, referring to a comparison with data from the Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS).

"Due to this, there appears to be a significant increase in all medical diagnoses in 2021 because of the underreported data for 2016-2020," he told the outlet. "AFHSD has corrected the root cause of the data corruption, and it has been restored to full functionality."

COVID-19 Vaccine Does Not Cause Cancer

In an article in the Science-Based Medicine published last February 7, Wayne State University professor of surgery and oncology David Gorski refuted the statements made by Long and Renz.

Because the COVID-19 vaccination status was not part of the data downloaded, he said there was no association between COVID-19 vaccination and the diseases attributed to it.

He further said, "DMED was never even intended to look for adverse reactions to vaccines," according to Yahoo.

AFP previously reported that John Sweetenham, associate director for clinical affairs at the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, said that 2021 reports show a 5% to 15% increase in overall cancer diagnoses among the general public.

He noted that this was because many people delayed going to a hospital to get checked for cancer or other symptoms due to concerns amid the height of the pandemic.

In February, Gorski tweeted that cancer "takes years to develop" and that "real increases of 300-1000% in one year never happen."

Anaphylaxis, thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, myocarditis, and pericarditis are among the few "adverse events of interest" that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are tracking after reports of COVID-19 immunization.

Moreover, heavy menstrual bleeding is a side effect flagged by both the FDA and the European Medicines Agency.

A CDC report noted that the "benefits of COVID-19 vaccination continue to outweigh any potential risks."
