I can't imagine what would be the cause of this.
Then I'll attempt to educate you. In 1990 the world population was 5,300,000,000 people. In 2019 the world population was over 7,700,000,000. In 1990, there was 1.82 million cases of early-onset cancer. In 2019 there was 3.26 million cases. This was prior to any covid-19 shot. So, had you responded to this thread in 2019, you'd said, "it's crazy how common cancer is becoming in young people". That's a huge increase in cases however it's also a huge increase in population.
You also have technology and stats at your fingertips now that wasn't available 20-30 years ago so you hear about it more. Guess what, unless there's a cancer vaccine or cure, you'll continue to see an increase in early-onset cases because the world population will continue to increase. This increase isn't covid vax driven but you're welcome to believe whatever you want. I just gave you hard facts not some Twitter bullshite to get clicks.
We can revisit this thread in 20 years and I'd bet there's been a huge increase in early-onset cases....probably around 5 million at that point. It's just math.

So based on that increase in population, we would have expected 2.64 million cases in 2019, rather than 3.26 million cases. Granted, maybe there were also probably more cases detected in 2019 due to improved technology. But the change was greater than expected based solely on population increase.
