Amazing conversation with a brilliant medical doctor. Absolutely worth your time. He and Tucker dive deep into cancer treatment (and the direction he wants to lead it). They also get into COVID and it’s response to similar treatment that he proposes.

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong is a South African and American businessman, investor, medical researcher, and transplant surgeon. He is known for inventing the drug Abraxane, which is used to treat lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer. Soon-Shiong is the founder of NantWorks, a network of healthcare, biotech, and artificial intelligence startups, and he is also an adjunct professor of surgery and executive director of the Wireless Health Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles.

I absolutely loved this interview, I hope this guy is legit, I don't know anything about him.

I wasn’t familiar with him either, but his creds appear to be unassailable.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm working nights this weekend, I'll put it on my podcast list!

It's a good interview. I previously posted it in the Covid thread.

Something has clearly changed since 2021...

Here's a summary:

Billionaire Cancer Researcher Says Covid & Vaccine Likely Causing Surge In Aggressive Cancers

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.

Soon-Shiong, founder of ImmunityBio ($IBRX) and owner of the Los Angeles Times, claims that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the very vaccines developed to fight it, may be contributing to a global surge in “terrifyingly aggressive” cancers. 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’s 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.
Dr. Soon-Shiong’s Claims

Soon-Shiong is a veteran surgeon and immunologist who has spent a career studying the human immune system’s fight against cancer. He pioneered novel immunotherapies and even worked on a T-cell based COVID vaccine booster during the pandemic. In the interview, he draws on this background to voice deep concern over rising cancer cases, especially among younger people – something he describes as a “non-infectious pandemic” 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, a scenario virtually unheard of in his prior experience.

"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) and unusual surges in aggressive diseases like ovarian cancer in women in their 30s. These personal observations of more frequent, aggressive cancers in youth led him to probe what might have changed in recent years.

“We'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 - and suggests that both the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and the widespread vaccination campaigns could be key drivers behind this cancer spike. He emphasizes the massive scale of human exposure to the virus and its spike protein (via infection or vaccination).

"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't think it's virus versus man now, this is existential. I think when I talk about the largest non-infectious pandemic that we're afraid of, this is it."

In sum, Dr. Soon-Shiong’s claim is that the pandemic has set the stage for an explosion of aggressive cancers: the COVID virus itself (especially if it persists in survivors) might suppress immune surveillance, and the mRNA vaccines “that didn’t stop it” might inadvertently contribute to an immunosuppressive environment. These effects, in his theory, could be unleashing cancers that the immune system would ordinarily have kept in check.

A number of clinicians and researchers have reported similar worrying observations, though these remain largely anecdotal at this stage. One prominent voice echoing Soon-Shiong’s concern is Dr. Angus Dalgleish, a veteran oncologist and professor at St. George’s, University of London. In late 2022, Dalgleish wrote to the BMJ’s editor after noticing that some cancer patients who had been stable for years experienced “rapid progression of their disease after a COVID-19 booster.” He cited cases of individuals who were doing well until shortly after vaccination – new leukemias, sudden appearance of Stage IV lymphomas, and explosive metastases in patients who had post-vaccine bouts of feeling unwell.

I was trained as an immunologist too late. This is ground breaking stuff. I wish I had been around to deal with this research.

This one is worth watching too.

I know from reading the posts of other members of our community that quite a lot of you here never took the COVID shot(s). I thought, largely because of my age alone, that I should take it. I didn’t come to my senses until after I took one booster, then stopped. I would NEVER have taken the shots knowing what I know now.

This doctor is a practicing physician in Houston, who is still being hounded by the medical board over her treatment of patients with ivermectin and other drugs, as well not taking the shots herself. Her story is compelling.

I watched that interview this morning. It was really interesting how she and others were having great success with monoclonal antibodies then suddenly they became very hard to get ahold of. There were a lot of things going completely wrong during the pandemic and most of them were government caused. She made a point about someone getting Covid then being cured with the antibodies. Those individuals had real immunity.

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden is one brave woman. She demonstrates that some people will do what is right no matter the consequences.

Finally got to watch the whole thing, albeit about 20 min at a time. Thank you, love learning details like this.
