Strange, the amount of people getting cancer after going out to the shops.
Strange the amount of people getting cancer who have eaten ice cream and ALSO been to school as children.
Strange of people who get cancer have probably had the common cold at some point in their lives.
OH.
I also heard that 100% of people who get cancer have drunk water all their lives!!!!
Anecdotes do not equal evidence. Correlation is not causation.
Otherwise I'd be running about claiming that 95% of people who haven't had the Covid vaccine have managed to get brain damage and become very stupid instead, based on the garbage they post online.
Unless you have a set of very convincing data replicated by other large studies and peer reviewed by actual experts in the field, it's best not to make ludicrous claims about X caused Y.
Cancer is common throughout human history and cultures and is a set of distinct diseases that are associated with increasing longevity (longer you live the more likely your ageing cells are to spring an error in replication and your anti-tumour gene to also crap out), and we also have a 24/7 news cycle needing to be filled with human interest stories and celebrity news, and a hideously nosey gossipy social media mileau that needs to be fed details of everyone's personal lives constantly which is how we know people who have zero to do with us have cancer at all. A lot of people still don't feel the need to announce it for obvious reasons, not one of them well0meaning numpties appointing themselves oncologists after reading a few internet loon sites and deciding to tell sufferers what caused it and what they should do about it. Or using someon'e diagnosis to promote another pet aganda.
Also, cancer is no longer a taboo subject, due to its increasing curability. Go back even 40-50 years people did not talk about it, it was often not announced in public until after death. The first woman to pose naked with mastectomy scars caused a shitstorm of outrage as breast cancer was among the most taboo cancers to talk about or admit to. Things have changed remarkably in the past few decades with how people talk about this disease and a lot has to do with it being treatable, five year survival rates being the best in history due to pharmacological advances, so cancer isn't shorthand for "If we cannot cut it out, you're fucked, so you will soon be retiring to a room alone to scream yourself raw as the horrifying pain consumes you, even with morphine running through your veins, until you die."
The Princess of Wales shouldn't have had to make that video at all. The vile, obsessive, nonsense people were making up and the odd claims that you pay her 'wages' (you don't, and if you did you wouldn't have the right to see her medical info) ... do people think anyone remotely connected with the state and taxes (which means you as most people receive some benefit from public taxation, whether they are on benefits, teach in schools, have kids in schools, get tax credits, use the NHS, work for the NHS, work for the Highways, use public roads etc) have to show everyone their smear results or mammograms? These people all need to admit they are just rationalising their consuming nosey gossipy desire to know someone's medical details.
. When no one has any clue either way, but they'll believe what they want to.
. First Iāve heard of general gossip like that.
