It's probably not something to lose sleep over.

Biopsies do not cause cancer to spread. Multiple studies have shown that the risk of cancer spreading due to biopsies is extremely low and the benefits far outweigh any potential risks[1][2][3].

A study by Mayo Clinic researchers involving over 2,000 patients dispelled the myth that cancer biopsies cause cancer to spread. In fact, patients who underwent biopsies had better outcomes and longer survival rates compared to those who did not have biopsies[1][2].

While there is a rare phenomenon called "tumor seeding" where cancer cells can be dislodged during a biopsy, it is an extremely uncommon occurrence[3]. The National Cancer Institute states that surgeons use special methods and take many precautions to prevent cancer cells from spreading during biopsies or tumor removal surgeries[6].

Biopsies are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. They provide valuable information that allows doctors to tailor treatments and potentially avoid unnecessary surgeries[1][2]. The benefits of getting a biopsy far outweigh the minimal risk of cancer spread[3].

It's important to note that fears about biopsies causing cancer to spread are based on misconceptions. Exposure to air during surgery does not make tumors grow faster or cause cancer to spread[6]. Patients should feel reassured that biopsies are very safe and essential for proper cancer care[1].

Once again you are posting more fake nonsense. Just a repeat of previously debunked bullshiat.

False claim about COVID-19 vaccine animal studies circulates anew
https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-vaccines-animal-studies-947974839488

CLAIM: Animal studies for COVID-19 vaccines were “stopped” because the animals were dying.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. None of the manufacturers of the COVID-19 vaccines used in the U.S. reported that preclinical testing was halted because of such animal safety concerns.

COVID-19 is more likely than vaccines to cause myocarditis, and symptoms and outcomes are often worse.

I believe in the the overwhelming evidence from multiple studies that COVID is more likely to cause myocarditis than COVID vaccines. What about you?
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/which-is-more-likely-to-cause-MmBzK4Q5T_2Yf_khw6ECqA

COVID-19 infection is significantly more likely to cause myocarditis than COVID-19 vaccines. Multiple studies have consistently shown that the risk of developing myocarditis is substantially higher following COVID-19 infection compared to vaccination.

## Risk Comparison

- COVID-19 infection increases the risk of myocarditis by a factor of 15, while vaccination increases the risk by a factor of 2[3].
- The risk of myocarditis is approximately 7 times higher with COVID-19 infection than with COVID-19 vaccines[6][7].
- One study found that people infected with COVID-19 before receiving a vaccine were 11 times more at risk for developing myocarditis within 28 days compared to those who were vaccinated[11].

## Specific Risk Factors

- Young males, particularly adolescents and young adults, have a higher risk of vaccine-associated myocarditis, especially after the second dose of an mRNA vaccine[4].
- The risk of myocarditis after vaccination is generally low, with up to an additional 2 events per million people in the 28-day period after exposure to the vaccine[8].

## Severity and Outcomes

- While both infection and vaccination can lead to myocarditis, cases associated with vaccination tend to be milder:
- Most patients with myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination experience resolution of symptoms by hospital discharge[4].
- The relative risk of heart failure within 90 days was 0.56 for vaccination-associated myocarditis compared to 1.48 for COVID-19 disease-associated myocarditis[2].

## Conclusion

Despite the rare occurrence of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination, the risk is significantly higher with COVID-19 infection itself. The benefits of vaccination in preventing severe COVID-19 and its complications, including myocarditis, outweigh the small risk of vaccine-associated myocarditis[8].
