I fucking hate the state of science journalism :( I guess early national data and analysis by the data collectors at cancer centers isn't real enough for the "real world"
The article continues:
I guess those data indicating a potential link between cancer surges and the pandemic aren't real either.
I get that the authors are trying to navigate how to communicate that the researchers don't have enough evidence to conclusively support a hypothetical explanation for the increase in cancer prevalence but do have some preliminary evidence that indicates much more study has been warranted for at least 3 years.
It would be cool if they could do that in a way that wont lead lay people to think the thesis is: some scientists think covid causes cancer but there's no real world data that lead them to that line of thinking
Fuck you, Bob and fuck everyone who played a role in instilling this particularly pernicious piece of bullshit in your mind. I've been lucky enough to avoid even a single infection (okay there was a small amount of skill involved in consistently masking, not deliberately putting myself in high risk situations, and not caving to peer pressure from my friends and family, but it was mostly luck that I have a job that allows me to avoid high risk situations that I credit my success to) and it's going to take a lot more than a geriatric flight instructor's truisms to convince me that dropping my defenses is worth what you're going through.
Re: Bob, I think it's written poorly but he's meant to be expressing that he knows of friends and family having the same rare blood cancer in the way they would if a cold was going around, which is extremely concerning.
oooooooooooh shit thank you for reframing that
