This is an interesting example of the depths of the Nerf. The deep psychological manifestation of ego and id and how their interplay produces an allegory of the cave for many scientists who have everything riding on their reputation.
This is a case of a rapid onset of lymphoma following BNT162b2 infection (pun intended).
In this case, the patient is one of the Authors of the paper.
Now, despite this vaccine clearly accelerating tumors in this patient, let’s look at all the prayers thrown to the vax gods.
‘Nor in patients with neoplastic conditions’? Really batman? That’s what you have learned so far? Sometimes, single prayers are not enough. You must repeat them and repeat them often.
The patient isn’t just a throw on author. He is the corresponding author and doesn’t regret his decision nor wants to discourage any vax hesitancy?
What could cause someone to be this committed to a Darwin Award? I initially looked for Pfizer funding, Gates money, Fauci favors… but alas.. It was something far simpler.
Michel has been publishing papers that study anti-vaxers like they are denigrated lab rats.
Ouch.
Karma is a bitch most people refuse to admit has knocked on their door.
You see, he doesn’t trust people to make their own decisions and has a paper that advocates for more internet surveillance to better manage anti vax web sites and google ranking of approved content.
Despite all of his vax prayers and Nerfings in his cancer case study, I bet it will cause some people to reconsider their vaccine uptake. Ironically, just not him.
Some of us have come to question why Pfizer shelled out $2.26B in cash for a blood cancer company last year? It is not your average blood cancer company. It is one that is focused on CD47 blood cancers. CD47 is an early marker for people likely to get severe COVID.
So what have we learned?
People who have wrapped their scientific reputation around a narrative will die on that hill.
Science indeed advances one funeral at a time. I just hope in this case Michel snaps out of it before it comes to his.
But this is also a reminder, that no amount of reason, logic or data will convert the vax disciples. This is no longer about data driven decisions. It is about being adrift. If you rug pull their authority figures, they are religionless. Statism has supplanted their religion and if you dirt-knap their God, they are in free fall. They cannot consider your data not because of its content, but because it leaves them godless and lost.
Who will be their authority on medical matters once you’ve shown them the corruption? Who can they trust? They can’t possibly take the time to be an independent thinker on each topic related to their health. This sovereignty is more terrifying than any adverse events from the vaccines.
Their first and abrupt impulse is to reject your conspiracies. However, this is really a rejection of them willing to be sovereign thinkers and question their own allegiance to centralized planning. Having some other great man control the chaos is a tempting pacifier for those swimming in constant fear and nothing crystalizes tribalism faster than fear.
A few other papers to monitor on this topic.

I don’t mean any Ill will or lack of emotion for Michel.
We are all products of our echo chamber.
Fede pointed out that he published this more recently and he is the editor of Frontiers in Medicine.

Only extreme duress elicits this kind of denial. Case in point, years ago when I was young and poor I was visiting with my husband's family for dinner and chomping on a pre-dinner piece of sticky candy while waiting. (They always ate late and I was always getting hungry at 5, like an elderly nursing home resident.) Suddenly, I felt my bottom right molar shatter into pieces. A molar - a very large tooth - just gave way into the candy, the gooey lump suddenly full of gravel-ly bits. As I hawked it out in my hand I remember announcing, "There's someone's tooth in my candy!" Well who the hell's tooth did I think it was? I was freaking out, trying to deny the reality of what had just happened, calculating, lightening-fast, the cost of what would turn out to be very expensive dental work. I still have that molar to this day and it still works fine... It's not a hilarious story but the story has become a part our our family lore and serves as a reminder of what ridiculous denial the human mind is capable of. So we can at least enjoy a kind of schadenfreude knowing these scoundrels are under huge duress, literally freaking out at the reality they deny. At least I hope they are, for all the trouble their dishonesty causes us.
