I'm Curious! I See So Many Here Diagnosed With Lymphoma, In The Last Few Years? My Question Is? How Many Got The Covid Vax When They Out!

Vaccines have been around for a really long time (think pre-revoluntionary war) and cancer has been found in cavemen. The covid vaccine does not cause cancer. Certain chemicals have been linked to cancer. Lifestyles have been linked to cancer. My brother was diagnosed with Lymphoma before he was vaxxed, I was diagnosed after. While the Covid Vaccination has been shown to have adverse reactions in a small number of people, it has saved countless lives. Other vaccinations have also caused adverse reactions in people. Also people who have been vaccinated don't necessarily avoid illness (think of the flu vaccine) they have less severe cases of an illness. Vaccines teach your body to be prepared for an illness and to know what to look for. But the entire process is quite complicated. I wish you all the best of luck in your fight against lymphoma.

There was a study posted by a doctor who says the vax accelerated his cancer. He was studying to prove it. Since I read it, the article has been removed. My cardiologist said whether proven or not he’s seen more of his patients who had cancer previously who the vax took out of remission. He says it’s all big pharm. There are studies trying to determine if there’s truly a link between mnRA and cancer.CLL is one of the slow growing nhl cancers and I got diagnosed with it after two vaxs and the booster. First ultrasound of lymph nodes showed them enlarged but not greatly. After 6 months ultrasound showed multiple swollen nodes and biopsy of one showed Lymphoma Leukemia cancer. It’s possible that the vax adversely affects some but not others. I would love to see studies prove or disprove any connection because some ppl are still getting the vax yet many have stopped.

I got the vax, no problem, no reaction. I haven’t had COVID so far. I’ve had lymphoma since 2010. Ive had zero adverse reactions to the vaccine and no new health issues have appeared. While I’ve avoided vaccines all of my life (I’m 70) I decided to get the first vaccine. Then I got the first booster. I thought that was all I wanted to put in my body so I stopped there.
