Last month, the Atlantic ran a story headlined, “Did a Famous Doctor’s Covid Shot Make His Cancer Worse?” The sub-headline explains, “A lifelong promoter of vaccines suspects he might be the rare, unfortunate exception.”
Almost exactly one year prior to the article’s publication, Belgian immunologist Michael Goldman, 67, one of Europe’s best-known champions of medical research, rolled up his sleeve at a clinic and gratefully received his covid booster.
He was grateful because he’d just been diagnosed with an early case of lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system. Because Goldman knew he’d have to take immune-suppressing drugs as part of his cancer treatment, he wanted to get his booster fast, while there was still time for it to have an effect.
But after the jab, he quickly started feeling even worse, and more worrisome, his lymph nodes were swelling fast. Three weeks later, he went back to see his cancer doctor (coincidentally, his brother), and both men were astounded that the new scans showed “a brand-new barrage of cancer lesions—so many spots that it looked like someone had set off fireworks inside Michel’s body” — especially in his right armpit and along the right side of his body.
Oddly, the same side where he’d got his third covid shot.
Goldman immediately suspected the vaccine, but he wasn’t sure. He used to run an institute for vaccine-technology research, and he’s been interviewed many times about covid, reassuring the public of the safety of the jabs, and the safety of mRNA vaccines in particular. In December 2020, he told an interviewer that “if there was a real problem with the technology, we’d have seen it before now for sure.”
For SURE.
As he began and continued his cancer treatment, Goldman also was researching HOW there might be a link between the jab and his surging cancer. He finally found a theory, and in November, 2021 published a study titled “Rapid Progression of Angioimmunoblastic T Cell Lymphoma Following BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccine Booster Shot.”
The Atlantic article spends most of its energy emphasizing how Goldman struggled over whether to admit that his cancer got worse because of his jab, and the reporter stressed over and over how rare his syndrome was. The article’s author even puts herself in the story, describing her own struggle over whether to write the piece in the first place, because of her fear that anti-vaxxers would abuse the story.
His cancer is now back under control. These days, according to the Atlantic, Goldman often contemplates the possible connection between his lymphoma flare-up and his covid vaccination. “If it exists, it must be very rare,” he said. But he doesn’t regret going public with his case, saying, “I’m still convinced it was the right thing to do.”
But Goldman admits he’s struggling over whether to take the fourth shot. “I don’t know what I will do,” he told the reporter.
Well. I know what
I would do. But Goldman’s an expert, and so he’s baffled.
Experts are dangerous morons; the Atlantic talks about jab cancer; NATO are dangerous morons; bodybuilder, WWE star, and pop singer all have sudden, unexpected issues; ULTA steps in it.
