covid vaccines cause breast cancer

Question

the covid 19 vaccine may cause breast cancer

Comments

My Claim after Fact Checking: After reading both of these articles by cancer.org and breastcancer.org it is explained that having breast cancer can weaken the covid 19 vaccine but in no way does the covid vaccine lead to breast cancer. The claim is that Covid vaccines cause breast cancer and there is just simply no evidence to that and it has actually been disproven.

Answer 1

The claim that the COVID-19 vaccine will give you cancer. The article attached states that there is no link between the covid vaccines and cancer. The article only says that immunocompromised people may require additional vaccines due to having a weakened immune systems from procedures like chemo therapy. There is also no evidence that can establish that the covid vaccine can make cancer grow or come back. 

The claim that covid-19 vaccines is completely false. Another article by the American Cancer Society also backs this claim as false.

Answer 2

The claim that the COVID-19 Vaccine causes breast cancer is false and dangerous to spread. After fact checking I found an article on the American Cancer Society website discussing the vaccine, and the article describes that “People with cancer (or with a history of cancer) can get the COVID-19 vaccine safely. However, the vaccine might be less effective in some people with cancer.” The article goes on to describe that the effectiveness of the vaccine is very dependent on the individual situation of each person, and generally the vaccine is still effective. This article emphasizes that people with cancer should still get the vaccine, and that there are no instances of the vaccine causing cancer.

On the website Breastcancer.org there is an article about the vaccine, and this article explicitly states that “There’s no link between the COVID vaccines and breast cancer risk or developing breast cancer.” and that they recommend everyone follows the CDC guidelines and gets the vaccine.

It becomes clear this claim is false and there is not evidence supporting a link between getting the COVID-19 Vaccine and breast cancer. It is extremely harmful to spread this claim because it could discourage people from getting the vaccine, therefore making them more susceptible to COVID-19.

Answer 3

This claim is False, and there is no evidence that supports the claim that the COVID-19 vaccine causes breast cancer. The linked source for this claim doesn't even support this claim instead it states, “There’s no link between the COVID vaccines and breast cancer risk or developing breast cancer”. The article from Breastcancer.org suggests that immunocompromised people may receive additional vaccines from doctors because having a weakened immune system makes you more vulnerable to COVID-19. I was not able to find any articles supporting the claim that the COVID-19 vaccine may cause breast cancer, but I did find numerous articles debunking this claim including, articles from UCLA Health and the National Institute of Health (NIH).
