re: Cancer rates for the under 50 crowd.

OK, if you actually click on the chart you will see:
1. 3 of the 5 lines are repetitive. Colon and rectum, colon and rectum without appendix and rectum alone. Trend is definitely up, but have to remember some of this can be due to the lack of screening during covid so a bit confounded.
2. The ovarian rate looks pretty flat going back to 2004
3. The red dot line makes zero sense. The legend title says "cancer site" but the red dot legend says "non-malignant". So it's not a cancer. maybe it is a benign tumor, but that isn't a cancer.
The chart absolutely does NOT support the bullet points he makes, outside of colon, which could be screening bias

This right here 100%. My brother passed away last June from colon cancer at the age of 48 and he didn't take the jab. A family friend found that he had stage 2 colon cancer at the age of 46, also didn't take the jab.
By the way, don't put off your screening, go get a colonoscopy it could save your life.

That drastically changed since 2020?

We've been eating crap food for decades.

My Dad died in Viet Nam, 20 years after he left.
Advanced aggressive colon cancer and the Doctors admitted he died riding C130’s Nah Trang to Saigon each week, the day after dumping Agent Orange.

Jeez man that’s horrible. I’m sorry that happened to you and your family. It’s all very scary to me tbh.
Out of curiosity, how is your family friend that was diagnosed at Stage 2? I’m young and a little ignorant, but does finding things like that, early enough really make a difference?

He had a section of his colon taken out and underwent chemo to kill off where it spread to his lymph nodes.
I'm 45. I've had 3 colonoscopies, first at 37, second at 42, and third at 45. I had polyps cut out on my first 2, and was completely clear of anything on my third.
I tried to convince my brother to go when I went and had my first one done, I wish i would have been more convincing and kept at him to go get one.
Don't put it off.

Proud covid vaccine taker here. It probably saved my life a couple times over by now. I followed trump’s advice and took the jab and the boosters five years ago, like trump did. Never had any issues. Just had a physical last fall and everything’s good.
