    If anyone who didn’t get the COVID shot has been diagnosed with one of these “turbo cancers,” then this whole premise falls apart.

      If you read the original paper (that was of course retracted for inconsistencies and factual issues) it never actually links the vaccine to cancer. The entire thing is “people got vaccinated and also cancer happened” but at no point even attempts to see if those groups of people were related in any way. It relies on the reader to fill in the blanks and wouldn’t you know, the antivaxxer idiots showed up to do just that.
