Why Is Europe Facing A Cancer Epidemic?


Experts have warned that Europe faces a “cancer epidemic” unless urgent action is taken to boost treatment and research, after an estimated 1m diagnoses were missed during the pandemic. The impact of Covid-19 and the focus on it has exposed “weaknesses” in cancer health systems and in the cancer research landscape across the continent, which, if not addressed as a matter of urgency, may set back cancer outcomes by almost a decade. What do you think LiveTribers? Why is Europe facing a cancer epidemic?

    Vaccination & masks + reduced all other medical services. Sterile living is one more reason - degrading immune system.

    Another clickbait headline to draw out the anti-vaxxers who know better than any 12 year trained specialist.

    I'd say a lot of it has to do with JOhnson and Johnson, or products we put on our skin. Also the prevalence of a CT scan over an MRI. One in 3 CT scans, results in some type of cancer within 7 years. This fact is from a professor who runs several hospital imaging departments. He always gets people in for MRI's instead. Also, if you go to imaging places and they are charging more than the Medicare rebate for an MRI, call around your local hospitals, as it's bulk billed, and you can usually make appointments.

    Is it only Europe or are other countries also facing higher cancer rates? Hardly a week goes by without us hearing of another friend or acquaintance who has cancer and recently two family members passed much too young. Hospital waiting lists were far too long well before covid (although the pollies fall back on covid as an excuse) and reducing the waiting lists should be a priority. Perhaps we should all contact our government representatives and tell them we want better health care.

    Mainly because everything else other than Covid treatments were cancelled by all hospitals and now we have to play catch up. Unfortunately, for many the catch up will be too late to save them. In hindsight the world should have treated this epidemic like the influenza disease that kills so many every year.

    Some will be due to so much fear mongering leading to people being too scared to leave home for anything, including health testing. Some have developed such bad phobias that they now have a mental health problem on top of everything else. Also the stupidity of some health providers who refused services to some during mandates, yet vaxd or not, everyone can catch it and pass it on. So too much fear mongering and now nobody even cares. Its a case of yesterday's news!

    I don't see how this is an epidemic at all? If the diagnosises have been missed due to lock downs then it's not 1m extra cases just 1m less reported cases. Also which experts? There is nothing to indicate any kind of spike in this post. Vague and sensational.

    Less people are going to the doctor regularly. There is a longer wait to see a doctor. Some people may have delayed or stopped going to the doctor for their regular health checks. When we see a doctor, we are lucky to be able to see one in the next week. Some doctors are booked out for 2 to 4 weeks or longer; Also there is an increasing cost to see the doctor ($40 out of pocket), as less doctors bulk bill. Because some people are not going to the doctor, they are getting more sick and passing this on to their friends and family (viruses). Some people don't go to the doctor because of the pandemic. I have been ill with a bad virus for the last 3 or 4 weeks. I have been to the doctor a number of times. Thankfully it is not corona virus. I hope I get better soon.

    They have a strong past history of polluting their environment with industrial waste and air pollution and it's catching up with them.

    Probably because people didn't have tests performed during Covid as I believe has also been the case here in Australia and cancers hadn't been picked up as a result. People had trouble trying to see a GP if they were unwell and could possibly have Covid, as the GPs would not see them and only a teleconsultation was possible.

    The number of aggressive cancers that have increased worldwide has been attributed to the implementation of the Covid 19 vaccines. Pfizer have also admitted to other heart and brain related injuries and deaths. Sadly mandates that have been made by Governments worldwide will have severe consequences in the legal systems as these adverse results become more recognized. Australia has already set up a register for people who have been injured by the vaccines, it is only a matter of time for litigation to commence for the deaths.

    You can be sure Covid has placed pressure on most Countries medical systems. Some may argue disease is Natures way of controlling species numbers. It seems the fallout from this pandemic will be almost as catastrophic as TheBubonic/Black Plague of the Dark Ages. Let's hope this era's. Renaissance is sooner than that following that catastrophe!!!
