Let’s Talk About Death Rates From Cancer
Let's finally stop talking about COVID vaccines and turbo cancer!
Why am I talking about death rates from cancer?
Because anti-vaccine influencers have been posting about it lately, thinking that death rates from cancer have been rising lately and associating it with COVID vaccines.
Let’s Talk About Death Rates From Cancer
So, have death rates from cancer been rising?
Not really…
For one thing, you don’t really get the dramatic spike during the last few years on the Our World in Data site using IHME data unless you squish the chart to produce that effect!
And again, the IHME and WHO Mortality Database are both still sources for cancer death rates on the Our World in Data site.
Mostly though, now that the IHME and WHO use different methods and often give slightly different results for data, whether you are looking at cancer death rates, malaria deaths, or the burden of TB disease….
“While the overall number of cancer cases and deaths is set to rise substantially from 2024 to 2050, encouragingly, when the global case and mortality rates are adjusted to account for differences in age, they are not forecast to increase. This suggests that most of the increases in cases and deaths will be due to population growth and the rise of ageing populations.”
The Lancet: Cancer deaths expected to rise to over 18 million in 2050—an increase of nearly 75% from 2024, study forecasts
The quote above is from an IHME news release…
What else do we know?
As much as anti-vaccine influencers continue to push the idea that COVID vaccines created an epidemic of turbo cancer, know that’s simply a lie.
After all, according to the Annual Report to the Nation 2025: Overall Cancer Statistics from the National Cancer Institute:
Overall, from 2018 to 2022, cancer death rates decreased an average of 1.7% per year for men and an average of 1.3% per year for women.
Between 2018 - 2022, 12 of the 19 most common cancers in men showed decreases in mortality.
Between 2018 - 2022, 14 of the 20 most common cancers in women showed decreases in mortality.
Cancer death rates decreased an average of 1.5% per year from 2001 – 2022 among children. Among AYAs, cancer death rates fell by 2.9% per year from 2001 – 2005, 1% per year from 2005 – 2020, and then remained stable from 2020 – 2022.
Rates of new cancer cases among men decreased by 1.6% – 2.2% per year from 2001 through 2013 before stabilizing through 2021. Among women, the rate of new cancers increased by 0.3% per year from 2003 through 2021.
There is no surge in cancer death rates.
“Both the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society have stated there’s no information that suggests COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer, make it more aggressive or lead to recurrence of cancer.”
Still No Evidence COVID-19 Vaccination Increases Cancer Risk, Despite Posts
There is no turbo cancer.
Except, of course, in the minds of anti-vaccine influencers will push ivermectin as a cure for turbo cancer!
I will repeat what I posted here very recently: because of another project, I have followed cancer surveillance through data of the National Cancer Institute's SEER program and rates of Cancer has been falling in the past decade for both men and women.Turbo cancer is a complete contrivance and there simply is no demonstrated association with Covid-19 or any other vaccine. They are absolutely lying to undermine vaccine efficacy to promote grossly expensive "detox" protocols that do absolutely nothing but line the pockets of scam artists like Peter McCollough.
