Colon cancer rates in young people have been rising long before the Covid shots so maybe tag someone other than anti-vaxxers.

[Wafik S. El-Deiry, MD, PhD, FACP @weldeiry]

Recent SEER data trends in age-adjusted cancer diagnoses with notable rises among racial and ethnic groups for several cancer types and late stage rectal cancer.

@weldeiry @SenRonJohnson @KUPERWASSERLAB Deaths from hematologic malignancies have gone down.

[Benjamin Mazer @BenMazer]

Deaths from hematologic malignancies have gone down slightly in recent years.

This data is freely available but anti-vaxxers would prefer to "ask questions" rather than seek answers.

[Benjamin Mazer @BenMazer]

This is so embarrassing.

[Wafik S. El-Deiry, MD, PhD, FACP @weldeiry]

I’m intrigued by the numbers for hem-malignancies as we noticed that from the case reports (https://t.co/01KINIZd8p) but this is a very strong signal at the population level that needs to be verified and investigated with some urgency.

It’s strange, no one has invited me to the senate to talk about how much I’m being censored.

[Benjamin Mazer @BenMazer]

“Plausible mechanisms” is the lowest level of medical evidence. I’m always happy to consider new data but the only things the Covid vaccine turbo cancer idea has in its corner are kooks and rare anecdotes.

[Senator Ron Johnson @SenRonJohnson]

I’m holding a hearing tomorrow at 2:30pm ET: “Plausible Mechanisms of COVID-19 Injections Causing Cancer and Attacks on Scientific Publications and Research.”

We’ll hear from 6 doctors and a cancer survivor:

- Angus Dalgleish, M.D.
- @weldeiry
- @SabinehazanMD,
- Saskia Mostert, M.D., PH.D.
- @DrAseemMalhotra
- @jrgralow
- Tamika Felder

@AnilMakam To be fair, the FDA hasn't approved it yet.

Thanks to @DrJBhattacharya the government is forbidden from telling Facebook what they should publish so I don't know why you're tagging him.

Sadly it looks like my Facebook account has been deleted this morning.

Behold the peer-reviewed evidence (published in his own journal) of Dr. El-Deiry: Youtube videos and AI.

[Benjamin Mazer @BenMazer]

No one has stopped you from asking questions. But you've repeatedly "asked questions" at anti-vax meetings and not provided any compelling evidence. You literally cited AI in some of your recent papers.

Epidemiologic data show that any theoretical risk must be miniscule.

[Wafik S. El-Deiry, MD, PhD, FACP @weldeiry]

Vaccines can save lives if safe and effective.

Those vaccines that are recommended by physicians after discussing individual risks and benefits with patients should be given with informed consent and covered by insurance.

But there have been some unexpected findings with pseudouridine-modified COVID mRNA vaccines tested for the first time in the global population at large.

These include unexpected persistence of the modified mRNA and spike protein in tissues, DNA fragment impurities and plasmid impurities with Process 2 production that were not tested in the early clinical trials that used Process 1 for COVID mRNA vaccine production.

Altered host immune responses with IgG4 class-switching, increased PD-L1 expression on cancer cells, neo-peptides resulting from ribosomal frame-shifting in pseudouridine-modified Spike mRNA, potential inhibition of tumor suppression mechanisms along with reported cases of cancer raise concern especially for individuals who may be at higher risk.

The unexpected observations warrant investigation including forensic evidence into impurities, biodistribution, mechanisms that affect the immune system and disease risk that includes cancer.

All known plausible mechanisms by which COVID mRNA vaccines might cause cancer as summarized in Kuperwasser and El-Deiry, 2026 are shown in the diagram below.

More research is needed on who is at greatest risk especially in the setting of 5, 6, and 7 modified-mRNA COVID vaccine injections.

Scientists should be allowed to ask questions and pursue the truth about disease risks and mechanisms without politics, attacks on their reputations or other career-altering consequences.

In my opinion, mRNA (and peptide) vaccines hold promise for cancer in a population with different risk benefit characteristics and should be further tested in clinical trials.

@weldeiry Do you publish every paper you receive in Oncotarget? This is simply free speech.

[Benjamin Mazer @BenMazer]

@weldeiry @LinkedIn You don't get to tell a private company what they have to publish. They have free speech rights too.

[Benjamin Mazer @BenMazer]

@statesdj The UK still doesn't recommend general population prostate cancer screening.

[Benjamin Mazer @BenMazer]

While the UK ran an RCT for blood-based cancer screening, the US simply started testing hundreds of thousands of patients.

In 2024, I asked: Are caner super-tests really such a good idea? Now the answer is no -- at least so far.

Trial of multi-cancer blood test among 142,000 NHS patients fails to meet main aim

Results presented at oncology conference show Galleri test failed to reduce late-stage cancer diagnoses

[Benjamin Mazer @BenMazer]

Cancer screening continues to be hard.

[Harold J. Burstein, MD, PhD, FASCO @DrHBurstein]

1/ the @NHS-Galleri trial is 1st RCT for molecular screening for early cancer detection. 142K participants; found ~1400 cancers overall (i.e. 1% ). No sig reduction in incidence rates of stage III/IV cancers. No change in rate @ prevalent vs incident rds.

[Healthcare AI Guy @HealthcareAIGuy]

NEW: Oura is partnering with Counsel to bring AI-enabled primary care into the Oura app

Users can ask medical questions, receive guidance, and connect with physicians using their wearable health data

This news comes just after Oura quietly filed for an IPO and launched Oura Ring 5

Are wearables the new patient-facing layer of healthcare AI?

[Benjamin Mazer @BenMazer]

I hold the extremely contrarian view that news media often reflects public sentiment rather than actively shaping it.
