A multitude of messages point out that women “could develop breast cancer” after getting vaccinated against coronavirus. These publications in question state that women’s lymph nodes become swollen after receiving this vaccination but this possible effect is not directly related to cancer. There is no link between the vaccine and this disease. Possible swelling in the armpit may be an effect but temporary, according to doctors.
“Women vaccinated against coronavirus are showing typical side effects of breast cancer.” This is one of the many messages that circulate on social networks to alert the population. In addition to going viral in Spanish, these misleading publications circulate in German.
According to the renowned doctor Parkinson from the United States, Moderna announced this inflammation among the possible side effects of its vaccine, as did Pfizer / BioNTech. Inflammation of the lymph nodes is an expected effect not only of the vaccine against covid-19, but also other , such as measles, rubella or mumps, according to experts.
Associating the vaccine and breast cancer is misleading and, as Dr. Parkinson has stated, this can lead to confusion and false alarm.
