"What is so extraordinary about linking Cancer and SV40?' Nothing, but now you need the data to back up that claim. 'Turbo Cancer' and mRNA: The myth that defies biology ... Global Vaccine Data Network Oct 31, 2024 — Amidst the post-COVID vaccine world, a curious term, "Turbo Cancer," has emerged in anti-vaccine circles. The claim? That mRNA vaccines are ... == AI Overview Numerous scientific studies, cancer organizations, and medical experts have found no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer . Claims to the contrary, often citing "turbo cancer," are unsubstantiated misinformation. Scientific and medical consensus No mechanism to cause cancer. Experts confirm that there is no biological process by which COVID-19 vaccines could cause or accelerate cancer. mRNA vaccines work by delivering temporary genetic instructions to cells to produce a harmless piece of the virus's spike protein, which teaches the immune system how to recognize and fight the virus. The mRNA cannot enter the cell's nucleus, which contains your DNA, and therefore cannot alter your genetic code. No observed rise in cancer rates. Epidemiological tracking data from countries with high vaccination rates show no increase in cancer incidence following the vaccine rollout. Existing health problems are misattributed. During the pandemic, many people delayed cancer screenings, leading to later-stage diagnoses. This has likely contributed to the false perception of "faster-growing" or more aggressive cancers that has been incorrectly linked to vaccination. Vaccines actually help prevent some cancers. In contrast to causing cancer, other vaccines like the HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines protect against infections that can lead to cancer. Response to "turbo cancer" claims Claims of "turbo cancer"—allegedly aggressive, fast-developing cancers caused by COVID-19 vaccines—are a baseless conspiracy theory. Misinterpretation of studies. Some claims distort scientific studies, such as one involving a predisposed mouse, to push a false narrative. The authors of that study explicitly stated their findings were misinterpreted. Cites low-quality evidence. "Turbo cancer" claims often rely on individual, anecdotal reports or flawed studies, rather than large-scale, controlled scientific data. Swollen lymph nodes and mammograms After a COVID-19 vaccine, it is normal to experience temporary swelling in the lymph nodes near the injection site as your body builds an immune response. This can sometimes appear on a mammogram, but it does not indicate cancer. Healthcare professionals advise people to wait a few weeks after vaccination before getting a routine mammogram. Guidance for people with cancer Medical bodies like the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society recommend that cancer patients and survivors get vaccinated against COVID-19. This is especially important because people with weakened immune systems from cancer and its treatments are at a higher risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19. For individuals undergoing certain intensive treatments, doctors may advise a specific timing for vaccination to maximize its effectiveness.
