Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong – a transplant surgeon-turned-biotech billionaire renowned for inventing the cancer drug Abraxane – has issued a startling warning in a new in-depth interview with Tucker Carlson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Soon-Shiong, founder of ImmunityBio ($IBRX) and owner of the Los Angeles Times, claims that\u00a0the COVID-19 pandemic, and the very vaccines developed to fight it, may be contributing to a global surge in \u201cterrifyingly aggressive\u201d cancers<\/strong>. In the nearly two-hour conversation, the Los Angeles Times owner leveraged his decades of clinical and scientific experience to outline why he suspects an unprecedented cancer epidemic is unfolding. This report examines Dr. Soon-Shiong\u2019s background and assertions, the scientific responses for and against his claims, new data on post-COVID health trends, and the far-reaching implications if his alarming hypothesis proves true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Soon-Shiong is a veteran surgeon and immunologist who has spent a career studying the human immune system\u2019s fight against cancer<\/a>. He pioneered novel immunotherapies and even worked on a T-cell based COVID vaccine booster<\/a> during the pandemic. In the interview, he draws on this background to voice deep concern over rising cancer cases, especially among younger people \u2013 something he describes as a \u201cnon-infectious pandemic\u201d<\/em> of cancer. He tells Carlson that in 50 years of medical practice, it was extraordinarily rare to see cancers like pancreatic tumors in children or young adults, yet recently such cases are appearing. For instance, Soon-Shiong was alarmed by seeing a 13-year-old with metastatic pancreatic cancer<\/strong>, a scenario virtually unheard of in his prior experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “I never saw pancreatic cancer in children… the greatest surprise to me was a 13-year-old with metastatic pancreatic cancer,” Soon-Shiong told Carlson, adding that he’s seen examples of very young patients (even children under 11 with colon cancer<\/strong>) and unusual surges in aggressive diseases like ovarian cancer in women in their 30s. These personal observations of more frequent, aggressive cancers in youth<\/strong> led him to probe what might have changed in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe’re clearly seeing an increase in certain types of cancer, like pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer… colon cancer… in younger people.” According Soon-Shiong, the COVID era is the obvious change – <\/strong>and suggests that both the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and the widespread vaccination campaigns<\/strong> could be key drivers behind this cancer spike<\/strong>. He emphasizes the massive scale of human exposure to the virus and its spike protein (via infection or vaccination).<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I don’t know how to say that without saying it. It scares the pants off me because I think what we may be, I don’ think it’s virus versus man now, this is existential<\/strong>. I think when I talk about the largest non-infectious pandemic that we’re afraid of, this is it.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n \u201c<\/em>Billions of people \u2013 literally billions \u2013 had the COVID virus. <\/strong>Over a billion got the spike protein vaccine,” said Carlson, adding “So that’s like, we’re talking like a huge percentage of the Earth’s population, unless I’m missing something.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Now you understand what keeps you awake at night and kept me awake at night for two years<\/strong>, two and a half years,” Soon-Shiong replied, suggesting that exposure to both is silently undermining the immune system\u2019s natural defenses against cancer on a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDr. Soon-Shiong\u2019s Claims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He pioneered novel immunotherapies and even worked on a T-cell based COVID vaccine booster<\/a> during the pandemic.

In the interview, he described cases of \u201cvirally induced cancers\u201d<\/em> in clinics during the pandemic<\/strong> \u2013 patients whose cancers may have been kicked into overdrive by the cascade of inflammation and immune stress associated with COVID-19 (Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong: You\u2019re Being Lied to About Cancer, How It\u2019s Caused, and How to Stop It<\/a>). COVID infection causes a massive inflammatory response, and some cancers are known to exploit inflammation to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nTUCKER: “a lot people have pointed to both COVID, the virus, and to the mRNA COVID vaccines as potential causes. Do you think that they’re related?<\/strong>“<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nSOON-SHIONG: “The best way for me to answer that is to look at history. What we know about virally-induced cancers is well-established.<\/strong> We know that if you get hepatitis, you get liver cancer. Hepatitis is a virus infection. We know if you got human papillomavirus, HPV, you get cervical cancer.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nWe know that certain viruses directly cause cancer (e.g. HPV, Epstein-Barr), so it\u2019s not unprecedented for a virus to play a role in oncogenesis. While SARS-CoV-2 is not a known oncovirus<\/em>, Soon-Shiong worries its indirect effects \u2013 chronic inflammation, immune exhaustion, or \u201csuppressor cells\u201d<\/strong> that emerge in the wake of infection\/vaccination \u2013 could be accelerating tumor development<\/strong>. \u201cThe answer is to stop the inflammation\u2026clear the virus from the body,\u201d<\/em> he argues, positing that until we eradicate lingering virus and restore immune balance, we may see mounting cancer cases<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong – a transplant surgeon-turned-biotech billionaire renowned for inventing the cancer drug Abraxane – has issued a startling warning in a new in-depth interview with Tucker Carlson.
