A reminder that Covid is still a thing: “Its official name is BA.3.2, but it's earned the nickname ‘cicada’ because, analogous to the insect's pattern, it first appeared back in 2024, went dormant for a while, and resurfaced in the U.S. late last year.”

What we know about the new 'cicada' COVID-19 variant

Its official name is BA.3.2, but it’s earned the nickname "cicada" because, analogous to the insect’s pattern, it first appeared back in 2024, went dormant for a while, and resurfaced in the U.S. late last year.

MY ORIGINAL REPLY:
😂 That is such blatant #DISINFORMATION from an #AntiVaxxer propaganda site.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE CANCER.

CHECK YOUR FACTS before posting LIES. (Your account appears to be purely antivax and anti- #LGBTQ propaganda. You belong on TrumpSocial, not Mastodon. We check facts here.)

>>Do COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer or make cancer harder to treat?

NO. COVID-19 vaccines are NOT linked to a rise in cancer or more aggressive cancer. This MYTH may be passed along as one person's experience. Or rarely, as a personal observation by a healthcare professional.

Researchers looked at the large groups of people who got a COVID-19 vaccine, and there is NO evidence to support this MYTH.<<

Research hailing the benefits of the #COVIDvaccines keeps coming
The #vaccine was an estimated 76% effective against emergency department or urgent care visits for #COVID19–like illness in children nine months to four years old, compared with not getting the vaccine. #Pregnant people who were vaccinated before becoming infected with the #coronavirus had a lower risk of severe COVID-19 — and their infants were less likely to be born prematurely.
