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.

This claim is false. In the beginning of the article linked to the claim, it is pointed out that there is "no link between the COVID-19 vaccines and breast cancer risk". Instead, this article focused on the potential side effects of the vaccine, and precautions to some people with pre-existing health issues, like cancer, to talk to a doctor about what is best for them. This article also states that the American Cancer Society and the U.S. National Cancer Institute report "there is no information that COVID-19 causes cancer". This claim is proven to be wrong by several reliable sources.
