The occurrence of GBM is about 3 out of every 100,000 people. If you happen to know 4, is there some commonality? Do you all work together in the same industry? Do they all live in the same town?

My aunt is in her 70s and has 5 friends currently with cancer. My belief is that it's downstream effects from Covid wrecking people's immune systems and their ability to naturally fight cancer. Time will tell.

    Bayes and Occam would suggest otherwise. If you're in your 70s in the US it's likely many people you know have cancer (unrelated to COVID). Especially now, given that detection is better than ever and more people are surviving longer with cancer.

      Even more so, Probably 100% of the population over 70 has cancer in the sense of a clump of abnormal cell divison, just that for a lot of them it’s so slow growing or in a benign tumor that it doesn’t get discovered or treated.

    Unlikely to be COVID. The mRNA vaccine on the other hand...

      They are never gonna realize, the spell is too strong, particularly here

      If anybody with an open mind reads this: plasmid DNA contamination / insertional mutagenesis (use a source that hasn't been altered by the pharma industry for cover up)

I was about to say this knowing 4 people with GBM means there is something in your environment causing this.

I am sorry about your friends.

No it's so weird, no connection at all between any of them.
