Wow, hard to beat that logic, but misses the point---can you show a causal relationship between a vaccine, breakfast, being born and cancer? And to follow up on the Dilbert creator, last I read he may not be terminal (although to follow the thought process of Right Divider, we are all terminal). His prostate cancer may respond to hormone therapy. If so, good for him, and another win for science--just as vaccine's are another win for science. For a good summary of the advances in science leading to better cancer therapies read The Emperor of All Maladies.

Here we go again: Another study is being misrepresented as evidence that COVID vaccines cause cancer

An eminent oncologist, cancer researcher, and cancer center director is promoting a study that seems to show—but, when critically examined, doesn't—that COVID vaccines are associated with increase

Cardiac complications of COVID-19 vaccination: now we know more - PMC

The proliferation of good quality observational studies on the potential adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccination has greatly increased our knowledge on myocarditis and pericarditis, and also, more recently, on arterial hypertension. According to ...

Conclusions​

The benefits of vaccination over non-vaccination in terms of prevented hospitalizations and serious COVID-19 complications remain undisputable. In the age group, most at risk of vaccine myocarditis (12–29 years), for every 100 000 vaccinated, compared to about four more cases of myocarditis we have 56 fewer hospitalizations, 13.8 fewer admissions to intensive care and 0.6 fewer deaths.16 We must not forget to compare different groups of subjects (vaccinated against unvaccinated, COVID against non-COVID) before drawing conclusions on the possible association between COVID vaccination and myocarditis. The rate of myocarditis in non-COVID and unvaccinated subjects is not zero, but is approximately 0.33 cases per million per day (98 cases per 296 377 727 person-days), compared with 0.78 cases per million for day in vaccinated subjects (117 cases per 149 786 065 person-days).11,12 This equates to a 2.35-fold increase in the risk of myocarditis in association with vaccination (Rate Ratio 2.45 (1.10–5, 02)), but with a rate of myocarditis in the comparison group (unvaccinated) not equal to zero. According to the ‘Centre for Disease Control’, an excess of observed cases, compared with those predicted on the basis of the historical trend of myocarditis (unvaccinated subjects), is observed only up to the age of 29 in females, and 49 years in the male sex (https://cdc.gov/vaccines). To simplify the concept, it is not certain that the finding of a myocarditis in a subject affected by COVID, or that he has just been vaccinated, represents the sure demonstration that myocarditis is caused by COVID or vaccination. These figures bring to mind a famous cartoon of two British statisticians meeting: One asks the other: ‘How do you do?’ And the other replies without delay: ‘Compared to whom?’.

• Vaccines clearly prevent serious COVID outcomes. For young people (ages 12–29), even though vaccination slightly increases the risk of myocarditis (heart inflammation), the benefits are much larger: for every 100,000 vaccinated, there are about 4 extra cases of myocarditis, but 56 fewer hospitalizations, 14 fewer ICU stays, and about 1 fewer death from COVID.
• Myocarditis is not unique to vaccination. Even in unvaccinated people with no COVID, it occurs at a low rate—about 0.33 cases per million people per day. In vaccinated people, it’s about 0.78 per million per day. That works out to roughly 2.3 times higher risk in the vaccinated group, but again, not a zero baseline.
• According to CDC data, this higher risk is only clearly seen in younger people—up to age 29 in women, and up to age 49 in men.
• The key point: finding a case of myocarditis after vaccination (or after COVID infection) does not automatically mean the vaccine (or the virus) caused it. You always need to compare groups to see whether the rate is higher than normal.
• The “statisticians joke” at the end (“Compared to whom?”) is just a reminder that numbers only make sense when you know what group you’re comparing them against.
