Suzanne Humphries on cancer: what the evidence says · JRE #2294
SUBJECT: CANCER
Not a true/false call. Every claim is logged with its sources; read the exhibits below.
And the fact of the matter is, is that all cancers in humanity have gone up since the inception
What the evidence says 01 / RECORD
Long-term U.S. registry data contradict the claim that cancer rates have uniformly risen. NCI SEER data show the age-adjusted cancer death rate for all sites combined has been falling on average about 1.5% per year over 2015 to 2024, and the Annual Report to the Nation reports overall cancer death rates declined an average of 1.7% per year in men and 1.3% per year in women (2018 to 2022). Overall incidence has been roughly stable rather than rising across the board: some cancers (many tobacco-related) have declined while others (for example obesity-linked sites) have increased, so 'all cancers have gone up' is not accurate. There is no established causal link between vaccination and cancer, and the opposite is documented for specific cancers: a Swedish study of nearly 1.7 million people found HPV vaccination cut cervical cancer incidence by close to 90% in those vaccinated before age 17, and hepatitis B vaccination prevents infections that cause liver cancer. Both the aggregate trend and the implied causal framing are unsupported.
