🧠 Why This Rumor Circulates
The idea that vaccines might be linked to cancer often appears in social media discussions — for example in discussions about SV40 promoter sequences or “genotoxicity.” However, these claims originate from hypotheses or speculative theories, not from peer-reviewed scientific evidence.

Most regulatory authorities, including the FDA, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the World Health Organization (WHO), continue to consider the approved COVID-19 vaccines safe and effective for preventing severe disease and death when used according to authorized guidelines.
Like all vaccines and medicines, COVID-19 vaccines have known side effects — such as sore arms, fatigue, or very rare inflammatory reactions — but these are distinct from causing cancer. ℹ️
