I really, really, really wish that people would take time to fact check screeds like this before posting them.
Deaths from cancer since 2018 did increase more than expected, but so did deaths from a lot of causes. That was because health care facilities and workers were overwhelmed with masses of Covid patients. Most causes of death increased far more than cancer deaths did.
2018: 599,274 cancer deaths
2019: 599,601 (0.055 % increase over 2018)
2020: 602,350 (0.46 % increase over 2019)
2021: 604,553 (0.37 % increase over 2020)
2022: 607,790 (0.54 % increase over 2021; 0.91 % over 2020)
Notice how the actual math using the actual death data does not come even close to the 6.85% increase claimed in this blog.
The percent increase from one year to the next is calculated by:
((Y2-Y1)/Y1)*100 (Multiplying by 100 makes it a percent.)

You’re looking at two different data sets. You’re looking at cancer rates for all people, including elderly and relatively elderly who make up the vast majority of cancer deaths. The article is about cancer deaths among the young and relatively young. With so much less background noise, it’s easy to see why this signal would be visible among such people.
Not your fault, though, on second look... the article misstates the signal as being among the elderly, but the real signal is among the young.
Also... timing is not causation. What about the explosion in vaping?
Yes .. we believe $hot $hill stillDemMom, over Ed Dowd.
No saile.
So you are posting numbers from the CDC??? OMG, LOL, LOL, LOL!!!
Deep State is screwing with ICD-10 coding for a reason...
