New Research Suggests An Alarming Relationship Between COVID And Breast Cancer
“Respiratory viruses are like a strong wind that reignites the flame."
Respiratory viral infections awaken metastatic breast cancer cells in lungs
‘Sleeping’ cancer cells in the lungs can be roused by COVID and flu
“Hidden in the lungs of some breast cancer survivors are tumour cells that can remain dormant for decades — until they one day trigger a relapse. Now, experiments in mice show that these rogue cells can be roused from their slumber by common respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19 or the flu.”

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong: You’re Being Lied to About Cancer, How It’s Caused, and How to Stop It
Not a fan of Tucker Carlson but this interview with Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong highlights how Covid is oncogenic, it virally persists (like HIV)and destroys T cells. Worth a watch.

“For a brief moment in time, media acknowledged COVID is causing the skyrocketing cancer rates in young people (& everyone else).
In 2025, everyone has forgotten again, & we aren’t anywhere near “after the pandemic.” This is after all of science spent 2020-2024 acknowledging COVID is likely oncogenic & definitely causes immunodeficiency.
The money monsters are salivating. Think of the profit opportunities!”

“Everyday now more and more scientific evidence is emerging about increased incidence in cancer in patients post #COVID - whether new #cancer diagnosis in very young, to rapid recurrences of cancer in patients who had long remission, to finding virus in tumor tissue together with spike protein. It is also clear now that the virus quietly replicates and spike protein persists in people for years #LongCovid. We have to find a way to clear this virus and @ImmunityBio we are working hard on this. The spike protein, antibody based vaccine that did not clear the virus was not the solution- but we need to move forward and recognize that mistakes (by many people in leadership at the prior administration and NIH/ NIAAD/FDA) were made and now pull together to try to fix a catastrophe ….if indeed a persisting replicating Covid virus is carcinogenic.”
Is SARS-CoV-2 an oncogenic virus?
Way back in Nov 2022 the impacts of Covid infection on turning off your tumour suppressor were highlighted

P0304 SARS-COV-2 in Colorectal Cancer of IBD Patients | Journal of Crohn's and Colitis | Oxford Academic
6 patients with inflammatory bowel disease were infected with SARSCoV2, then diagnosed with anorectal cancer.
Detection of the SarsCov2 protein in ALL tumors raises questions about its role in the development of colorectal cancer.
SARS-COV-2 in Colorectal Cancer of IBD Patients.
“has been hypothesized that inflammation related to SARS-CoV-2 infection can affect cancer cell proliferation, without having a direct oncogenic effect.
➡️IBD-associated CRC (colorectal cancer) arises from a specific carcinogenic pathway involving chronic inflammation which is distinct from the traditional pathways.”
SARS-CoV-2 infection as a potential risk factor for the development of cancer
““…all patients should be regularly screened for cancer after SARS-CoV-2 infection, as the virus has been shown not only to affect cancer progression but also to induce oncogenesis and cancer recurrence.”
New study links cancer patients and long Covid symptoms | Mint
“New study links cancer patients and long Covid symptoms.
More than one in two cancer patients experienced symptoms of long Covid-19 for more than six months after initial infection.”

“The scientists in the UK and NHS are now making very disturbing findings that add to the growing evidence that infection and persistence of the Covid virus could be one of the reasons for the increased rate of cancer that is being reported. Will be presenting material from highly regarded scientists that the virus persists in our bodies as long as 2 years..another hallmark of an oncogenic virus. This is an important issue to address and find a solution to the potential of a cancer pandemic globally”
Let's discuss why the idea that Sc2 causes cancer is not far-fetched, how waiting until we have definitive answers on this topic is a bad idea for us personally, and why (and what) Public Health worldwide needs to do better. (4/)

COVID-19's Surprising Effect on Cancer
“By analyzing the receptor on the monocytes that the COVID-19 virus attached to, Bharat found a compound that currently isn’t used to treat any disease but is a close mimic of the COVID-19 virus in the way that it binds to the monocyte to induce the cell’s transformation into a cancer-fighting cell.”
COVID-19 virus could attack cancer cells and shrink tumors, new study suggests
“COVID-19 virus could attack cancer cells and shrink tumors, new study suggests The early-stage research focused only on animal models, but scientists say it ‘offers hope’”
From long COVID to breast cancer, how this beloved primary care doctor is coping with tough health challenges
“Scientists are currently studying how the M Protein on Covid-19 virus stimulates a complicated immune response that leads to proliferation of aggressive triple-negative breast cancer.”
With a depleted immune system, my oncologist said long Covid either caused or exacerbated my stage IV cancer, and 20% of cancers are viral-based.

SARS-COV-2 and cancer: So, what's the evidence, can SARS-COV-2 itself cause cancer, & separately can it increase risk & rapidity of death from existing cancers, & reactivate dormant cancers?

We have so many oncology patients who were either in remission or improving & then after one or more covid infections their cancer came back or worsened. I dread the thought of another infection while I'm fighting bladder cancer. I 💯 believe SARS-CoV-2 can be oncogenic.

“..:Patel and other concerned scientists are calling on the U.S. government to make this question [of whether Covid is causing rise in cancer] a priority knowing it could affect treatment and management of millions of cancer patients for decades to come.”
Via WaPo: “I’ve been in practice 23 years and have never seen anything like this,” oncologist Kashyap Patel said.
“‘I’ve been in practice 23 years and have never seen anything like this,’ oncologist Kashyap Patel said.
Asutosh Gor, another oncologist, agreed: ‘We were all shaken.’
There was other weirdness, too: multiple patients contending w multiple types of cancer arising almost simultaneously, and more than a dozen new cases of other rare cancers…. The uptick in aggressive, late-stage cancers since the…pandemic is confirmed by early national data and a number of large cancer institutions.
Many…dismissed the trend as a consequence of disruptions to health care that began in 2020.
But not everyone.
The idea that some viruses can cause or accelerate cancer is hardly new… 15 to 20 percent of all cancers worldwide originate from infectious agents…”
In vitro analysis suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection differentially modulates cancer-like phenotypes and cytokine expression in colorectal and prostate cancer cells
“Our results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection does influence various cancer cellular phenotypes and expression of molecular cancer markers and proinflammatory cytokines, albeit in a cell-type-specific manner. Our findings hint at the need for further studies and could have implications for evaluating the impact of other viruses on cancer progression.”
