Far-right Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said COVID-19 vaccines should be investigated in light of “all time high” in cancer rates, despite it being a debunked claim.
“Cancer rates are at an all time high,” the Georgia lawmaker wrote on X Friday night. “In 2024, the US is expected to see over 611,000 cancer deaths, which is more than 1,600 deaths each day.”
Greene’s stats appear to come from the American Association of Cancer Research , which estimates more than two million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed this year.
“There are many factors involved, everything from bad food to low Vitamin D,” she continued. “But I believe we must investigate the Covid vaccines.”
However, Greene’s suggestion that “we must investigate” COVID-19 vaccines to find answers for cancer rates is not based on any legitimate evidence, as COVID-19 vaccines have never been shown to cause cancer.
