Michel Goldman, M.D., Ph.D., professor of immunology and pharmacotherapy at the Université libre de Bruxelles in Belgium, suspects his third dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine may have sent his cancer into overdrive.
Goldman, 67, is one of Europe’s best-known champions of medical research and a lifelong promoter of vaccines.
But he told The Atlantic he wants discussion of the COVID-19 vaccine to be transparent — so he went public about his suspicion that the Pfizer booster shot he received on Sept. 22, 2021, may have induced rapid progression of his angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), a type of lymphoma he’d been diagnosed with before he got the booster shot.
After his diagnosis, Goldman said he rushed to get the booster shot, believing he would need it more than most people because once he started chemotherapy, his immune system would be compromised.
But after receiving the shot, Goldman’s follow-up CT scan showed something unexpected: Within only a few days, his cancer had grown so fast that cancerous points were lighting up all over his scan.
“It looked like someone had set off fireworks inside Michel’s body,” The Atlantic reported.
Goldman and his brother, Serge Goldman, a fellow scientist and head of nuclear medicine at the teaching hospital of the Université libre de Bruxelles, suspected Goldman’s COVID-19 booster shot may have triggered the rapid proliferation of cancerous growth in his body.
The initial CT scan had been “a bit disturbing,” Serge Goldman told The Atlantic, because it showed an asymmetrical cluster of cancerous nodes around Goldman’s left armpit, where Michel’s first two doses of vaccine had been delivered.
The CT scan done after Michel’s third dose showed the cancer’s asymmetry had flipped and was clustered by his right armpit, where he received the third shot.
The brothers knew it could be a mere coincidence, but they thought it was important to investigate the possibility that the vaccine might be behind the clustering — because it could mean other people with certain forms of cancer might be at risk of a COVID-19 vaccine causing their cancer to progress more rapidly.
So on Nov. 25, 2021, the brothers — who had written prior papers together — and other colleagues published a case report in which they described Michel Goldman’s experience and urged the scientific community to study the phenomenon to see if it occurred in patients diagnosed with AITL.
“Since nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccines strongly activate T follicular helper cells, it is important to explore the possible impact of approved SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines on neoplasms affecting this cell type,” the authors wrote.
The brothers said the case study “suggests that vaccination with the [Pfizer-BioNTech] BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine might induce rapid progression of AITL.”
They noted, however, that it would be “premature” to extrapolate the findings from Michel Goldman’s case to other patients with the same kind of cancer and that “dedicated studies are needed.”
Going Public Was ‘The Right Thing to Do’ Michel Goldman’s case study added to the scientific literature that aims to understand the relationships between mRNA vaccines and the functioning of helper T-cells.
For instance, previous researchers have noted mRNA vaccines rev up helper T-cells, which may explain why Michel Goldman’s AILT went into overdrive following his third booster shot.
“Perhaps the shots gave such a jolt to his helper T cells that they went berserk,” The Atlantic reported. “If they were prone to forming tumors, or if they were already cancerous, then overstimulation could have made the problem even worse.”
Research involving body scans of some people who get mRNA vaccines — including cancer patients — shows heightened activity in the lymph nodes near the armpit on the side where the shot was received.
In February 2018, a team of researchers at Columbia University’s Institute for Cancer Genetics published a study using mice with a pair of gene mutations — the same two mutations found in Michel Goldman’s tumor — showing that the mutations predispose T-cells to go rogue.
The study also showed that when the mice were injected with red blood cells from sheep — as an experimental stand-in for invading microbes — the mice developed the same subtype of lymphoma Michel Goldman had.
Michel Goldman previously headed a $2 billion European endeavor to accelerate the research of new medicines and in December 2020, he publicly spoke out in support of the safety of mRNA vaccines — the technology used in both the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.
At that time, he said the highest risk — especially for vulnerable people — is not to be vaccinated and that his main concern about mRNA vaccination was that people might use the possible side effects as an argument against getting the vaccine.
He currently leads the Institute for Interdisciplinary Innovation in Healthcare, or I3h, a university hub aimed at assisting in drug-design projects.
Michel Goldman doesn’t regret going public with his case, even though it presented challenging evidence regarding the safety of mRNA vaccines for individuals such as himself.
“I’m still convinced it was the right thing to do,” he told The Atlantic.
He remains adamant that COVID-19 vaccines are useful for the vast majority of people, but he is unsure whether he himself will get another booster dose.
“I don’t know what I will do,” he said.

Yesterday a friend of mine called. He said that his best friend who never was sick a day in his life started having chest pains and died while they did open heart surgery to try and clear a blockage caused by clots. I asked if his friend had been vaccinated recently. He had been vaccinated and then boosted shortly after the booster had this sudden problem.
My friend has been a huge proponent of the Covid vaccines. He said that he still was... that it was just a coincidence that his friend died from heart failure caused by clots.
I wasn’t sure what you meant in post 2. I thought you were mocking the idea the vax might be very bad medicine for some.
I think it will be for some part of the population, how big is yet to be determined. If it’s going to catastrophic then expect nuclear war. Otherwise the democrat part will be dead for the next 50 years. Obviously the NIH/ CDC are run by bureaucratic democrats idiots.
Oh gosh, that is so sad. I lost my Mom 2 years ago. She had dementia , so I actually lost her a couple years before that. Losing your Mom who was doing better to that horrid fake vax is awful.
I am so sorry about your mom!!! Hugs to you!!!
Losing my mom has destroyed my world.
My daughter’s fiancé begged his mother to not get the shot. 6 mos later .. breast cancer. A few weeks ago she had a double mastectomy.
Thanks, I lost my Dad first and my Mom a year later. My best friend a year later. Tough times those were. They were old and had a good life. They were great parents. All their Grandkids also adored them.
As time passes it gets easier, but there are still moments that you will get those emotional overloads thinking mostly of all the good and fun times you shared with them.
Everyone I know who is vaxed, boosted and double/triple boosted has had severe covid and much sicker than those who aren’t vaxed. The shots do NOTHING good.
We still have my dad, thankfully. He is a pistol!!! I am still sorting through the loss of my mom. Having all sorts of vivid dreams of her now - I hope it is her peeping in from Heaven, letting me know she is ok!! ❤️
My VA doctor cautioned my on taking an anti-coagulant plus a 325mg aspirin daily. The anti-coagulant (Clopidigril) was prescribed by my private care doctor following heart surgery. The VA doctor did not prescribe it going forward. I’ve stayed on it and believe it has helped immensely to avoid clot-shot issues. I already have pericarditis from the week of getting the J&J vaccine and slowly getting over that (7 years to go).
A medication the VA doctor prescribed my is known to cause heart attacks.
Imo suspicion is warranted with doctors nowadays.
This Doc should have gotten the saline injection, same as Klaus, Gates and other elites have.
If Bill Gates got two real Covid vaxxxx injections.... I highly doubt he is fool enough to get the boosters.
I am sorry if my post was cryptic. I am sick and tired of the absolute and willful stupidity of people advocating this poison which is being foisted on an obviously gullible society.
This supposedly well-known doctor/scientist who none of us on this forum have probably ever heard of... has apparently been pushing the Covid vaccines. Then he discovers that they have likely just caused his imminent demise... but he is still pushing them. Hey Doc, you will be pushing up daisies soon, it is time to come to your senses. This ill-conceived “vaccine” is killing you, has killed, and is killing millions of others. The people you are trying to impress with politically correct BS saying “they are useful for the vast majority of people” but probably not for you, don't give a rat's behind. Many believe that reducing the world's population by passing out poison is a good thing.
My fully vaccinated and boosted friend who called recently told me his best buddy with no previous medical problems had just died in surgery of clot related cardiac problems shortly after getting his latest booster is just the same. He was saying to me that everyone needs to make their own decision on these shots but that the problems related to them were mild and rare. That is called being willfully ignorant.
