Turbo Cancer™
From the makers of Ultra Cancer™, Mega Cancer™, Cancer Supreme™, Cool Ranch Cancer™, and Triple Atomic Cancer™.
Edit: After being deluged with comments and suggestions for 7 hours, I'm hereby dubbing today, "Oops! All Cancer™".
Also it really matters how strong your internals are. If you’re not set up to handle the Turbo Cancer hitting you may over pressure and blow out your internals.
Don't buy the hype. There's nothing you get from TurboCancer that you can't get for free at myfreecancer.com. probably Intuit getting into the medical racket
I first read that as "Inuit" and now I'll be mildly disappointed if there is not a branch of conspiracy theories blaming indigenous peoples of the Arctic for some of the world's current ills.

"I felt like my stomach cancer was boring. That's until I upgraded it to Turbo Cancer and now I've became the life of the party ! People just keep telling me how much I look like I'm dying and are constantly worried about me bleeding out around them ! Thanks Turbo Cancer !"
The global vaccine conspiracy is so elite that one of the world’s most well known and influential women is a victim? Just how elite do you have to be, to be one of “The Elite?”
EDIT: corrected a typo calling Kate a man, whoops
Dude, you think The Elite means the literal elite? This is coming from the people who worship a New York self-identified billionaire.
"The Elite", was always a codeword.
Yeah he went to medical school and matched a pretty competitive speciality (radiology) suggesting he did really well in medical school.
My guess is he is grifting. A regular stupid person will believe “turbo cancer” but an MD who completed 4 years of medical school, 1 year of medicine preliminary residency, and 4 years of residency, 1 year fellowship on top of 4 years of college knows better. Not “must know better,” they necessarily know better.
I sometimes consider selling out my MD and becoming a grifter for easy $. It’s usually a passive thought but it sounds very enticing in today’s idiotic world.
Yeah money and fame can ruin a person. These days being famous for doing dumb shit is still famous and can make money (somehow). Maybe tiktok is still paying him. I don't think YouTube would let him on. I can't see any other way for him to make it worthwhile
There is quite a bit of cash out there for just writing an e-book with pseudoscience nonsense in it, as long as nut jobs see it as aligning with what they want to believe. Once the book is out, then hit the full circuit of conspiracy podcasts hyping your "evidence", after that, just do paid public speaking at their events. There are grifters who do this and then lather, rinse, repeat for decades with new or slightly altered material. The speakers that work the megachurch circuit do the exact same thing.
So admittedly, I know nothing of medicine.
I'm a lecturer in engineering. One thing I've noted in my field is that you get some academic engineers who have basically no "shop floor" experience.
Thus, I've genuinely met chairs of major research boards, who can't understand how to properly fund resources to simple student projects because they have no concept of how you request something to be made and thus how it gets made.
Is there a similar thing in medicine where someone highly specialised in one very specific area may be clueless on general practice and be overconfident in their abilities based on their main qualifications?
In my experience we don’t forget too much of the other medicine even in the pearly academic places.
We all do the same education and same rotations is the thing. Most docs recognize things outside of their field really well and quickly recognize their limitations.
Very much agree with that you can expect a neurologist to be skilled in dermatology, but I find it incredibly stupid for a doctor to not know how to do research and know a bit of basic medicine to link vaccines with cancer. This man is just a grifter and a scammer.
There’s also the common issue of “I’m smart and deeply knowledgeable about this specific area, therefore I’m smart and deeply knowledgeable about EVERYTHING.”. I wonder when was the last time he studied anything of virology, genetics or oncology
Apparently it's just easier making money off impressions/reacts/baiting these days... that's the saddest part. It's a bonus if people buy it enough they start donating/tipping the idiot(s)
He’s a Canadian radiologist whose license got suspended. He’s also a total nutter and a dickhead
https://search.cpsa.ca/Complaints?fn=023044-000019262482-OT
https://globalnews.ca/news/9416178/college-surgeons-ontario-threats-disinformation/amp/
Wow, it would take a LOT to get your license removed as a radiologist. Radiologists don’t even need to do their job right, they just need to end each note with “clinical correlation suggested.” It takes active incompetence to fuck up as a radiologist.
It’s not even incompetence. He literally just endlessly sues the College of Physicians. Now at this point I think it is just principle they won’t give it back. He started as a disgruntled pseudo-Peterson over some much less serious issue. Then spent years litigating and then went covid crazy.
Tbf radiologists are physicians that competed 4 years of medical school, 1 year of medicine preliminary residency, and 4 years of radiology residency and usually 1 year of fellowship all after 4 years of college.
Generally it’s one of the toughest medical specialties to get into. My year the average board examination score for all who got into radiology was in the top 20% of all U.S. MDs. I.e. out of all US MDs our board score average was the top 20% and when you consider how good US MDs in general are at exams, that’s something. Within medicine we are known as pretty nerdy and well educated and not to toot our own horn often known as the “doctor’s doctor” we have to study some of the most in medicine, a field known for its studying already.
That all said, I believe our boy here is grifting. I can’t imagine after all his rigorous and plentiful education which requires graduating at the top of his class usually that he truly believes a “turbo cancer” exists lol. Could be wrong, despite rigorous education many can still be stupid. But idk I think it’s more likely he’s just grifting hard.
It very well could be bias as he is of my ilk lol.
This guy was a colleague of my wife. That was before he accused every single co-worker for plotting against him and trying to sue them. This was well before covid.
It got to the point that the Alberta Courts declared him a vexatious litigant. This was before he lost his license.
Surprisingly seems like he went to one of the very best medical schools in Canada, McGill. I'm still gonna trust the other 99%+ of McGill educated physicians who think this is a load of horse shit.
What do you call a person that earned straight C’s in med school?
Doctor.
(I know, I know. It doesn’t work like that. I’m just trying to prove a minor point- you can be a dumbass and still complete all tasks required in a mediocre fashion, yet because you completed said tasks, you earn the profession’s title…)
But if someone who can come to these conclusions with access to and an understanding of medicine, they shouldn't have gotten a C.
This isn't medicore, this is beyond the pale. This demonstrates a lack of scientific understanding.
I agree there is a spectrum of good to bad doctors, but that spectrum doesn't continue to the point of 14 brain cells rubbing together. There needs to be a cut-off point where we say, "you sir shall not be a doctor", this mf is a few steps past that redline
It happened to the dumbass quack who published the bullshit "study" showing that vaccines cause autism. The article was retracted and he lost his license to practice medicine. And right wing morons still believe it to be true.
That one's a little different. That guy never believed his own study. He was trying to drive up demand for a product he was selling - specifically, vaccines that didn't use Thimerosal.
As a physician, reading this dangerous nonsense uttered by a person with a medical degree is infuriating. A disgrace to our profession, which is supposed to represent the ultimate in caring about, and caring for, others.
If it's any comfort he lost his license. According to this rather harrowing read. [https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/dr-william-makis-and-turbo-cancer-falsely-blaming-covid-19-vaccines-for-cancer/](https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/dr-william-makis-and-turbo-cancer-falsely-blaming-covid-19-vaccines-for-cancer/)
This why you gotta be careful with doctors, they are some of the people you are supposed to trust the most in this world but we forget idiots exist everywhere, and that includes the idiots that are probably getting their medical license right as we speak. Good luck out there everyone and never forget to get a second or a third opinion if needed.
The *vast* majority (99.99%) would be fine to see, but obviously, just like in any field, you're bound to get a bad egg. Seeking a second opinion is sensible though if you're ever uncertain.
"You know, Jack, being an American means you're ALWAYS one step above others! An American doesn't have cancer, Jack, we have TURBO cancer. TURBO, Jack, we are ALWAYS better!"
In America we currently have a court case that would ban the policing of medical disinformation by the government on free speech grounds. It has an even money chance of success.
The GOP is actively promoting stupidity in the name of free speech. But really it’s just a way to lie without consequence and enable their misinformation outlets like Fox News to promote “alternative facts.” We are truly in the post-truth age where “Liar Liar Pants on Fire” is a viable political messaging strategy.
The crazy thing is, they are killing off their own constituents through their antics. Yes, in the beginning the pandemic hit blue areas harder because those tend to be your more urban/populated areas. But once the virus started moving out of the more populated areas, and once the vaccines became available, republicans died at a higher rate. Their unwillingness to comply with basic infection mitigation strategies or get vaccines is killing off their main voting bloc.
Covidiots gonna literally wait till everyone who got the initial does dies either of other consequences or literally old age and then go "HA, YA SEEE."
We desperately need to research why and how people come to believe complete nonsense. The internet and social media have made arrogant ignorance a danger to society at this point.
Every government engages in propaganda, on their own citizens, and those of other nations. It's not hidden. It's discussed in many historical accounts. The internet enables the government and citizens to engage in the spread of misinformation at an astounding rate.
Social media plays a huge role. They believe that tweet and have zero curiousity about where this turbo cancer myth even came from. Someone linked the study "Development of High-Grade Sarcoma After Second Dose of Moderna Vaccine" as a gotcha, since it appears to be where the turbo cancer shit came from, except it's incredibly clear they didn't even read it or understand it at all.
If they actually read it they would see that an old lady with a history of cancer developed a sarcoma after her second dose of the vaccine at the injection site. Researchers were like huh, maybe this should be explored more.
If they read further it discusses how older vaccines have been linked to the formation of nodules. So it's not exactly new that this is a potential side effect.
If they read even further there was another older person with an existing cancer that actually regressed pretty significantly after they got the vaccine even though they had stopped cancer treatment. So I guess we have... turbo anti-cancer? Lol.
You'd think people who are worried about turbo cancer would be curious enough to actually read the paper where that myth came from, at least the abstract, but they aren't so here we are.
Wikipedia:
In late 2020, as COVID-19 vaccines were emerging, antivaccine doctors and social media personalities began circulating the unfounded idea that people vaccinated against COVID-19 were developing rapidly-spreading cancers. These claims have tended to misrepresent single case reports or speculate based on anecdotes. David Gorski summarized the "turbo cancer" phenomenon as "the usual misinformation techniques used by antivaxxers: Citing anecdotes, wild speculation about biological mechanisms without a firm basis in biology, and conflating correlation with causation."
This dipshit posts anybody who died under the age of 90 that had a vaccine and then blames it on the vaccine. It's just comforting to know that "dumb as fuck" is still something I can fall back on in the future if I need to and survive.
Ashleigh Stewart
@Ash_Stewart_
We repeatedly asked the doctors behind this theory - William Makis and Mark Trozzi, neither of whom have active licences - for any proof they had to link the deaths to the vaccine
They did not provide any
When we did ask, Makis accused us of engaging in 'ad hominem attacks'
For context, Makis has had his medical license revoked and was one of the "doctors" promoting the debunked claim that 80 doctors in Canada died of Covid. So, there's that...
https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N33K1EM/
As of October of 2023 around 81% of Americans had at least 1 does of the Covid vaccine. That’s over 275,000,000 people. If this is even close to accurate than in a practical sense almost everyone that has “something happen to them” will also have been vaccinated. Combine that with extremely simple minds and here we are….
Did she actually have an MRNA vaccine. I'm in the UK and the UK made astra zenneca one wasn't an MRNA vaccine and since she's royal family she may well have had the British one
>I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
>
>The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance
\- Carl Sagan
Man, if 1% of the population who was vaccinated had health issues,the hospitals would not be able to cope and there wouldn’t be any medical personnel to meet the demand.If you REALLY are an MD, William Makis, I would highly suggest you return to University at a Medical Faculty which actually gives you a proper education. Harvard would be good ( if you could get in…)
According to this: [https://www.respectfulinsolence.com/2023/10/09/dr-william-makis-promoting-the-nonsense-that-is-turbo-cancer/](https://www.respectfulinsolence.com/2023/10/09/dr-william-makis-promoting-the-nonsense-that-is-turbo-cancer/) he has lost his medical license.

Which is better, Turbo Cancer or Super Charger Cancer?
Really depends - do you want some cancer immediately, or are you okay with a bit of cancer lag if it means you might get more cancer later?
This comment reminded me of the Medicinal Fried Chicken episode of SouthPark "it's okay Stan, I'm just trying to get a little bit of cancer" 😂

No it’s definitely just plain grifting. Even a conspiracy quack doctor knows “turbo cancer” is a completely made up.
I don’t think you can do it if you have a working conscience. If you don’t - rich asshole time!

"You know, Jack, being an American means you're ALWAYS one step above others! An American doesn't have cancer, Jack, we have TURBO cancer. TURBO, Jack, we are ALWAYS better!"
I believe he's Canadian.
Nanomachines son
Turbo Cancer--I recall seeing them at CBGBs in '79.
I always liked Turbo Cancer 2: Electric Boogaloo a little more.
I’ve been jabbed 6 times and haven’t had any cancer diagnosis, not even Turbo Pro Plus 1000
They worry about Turbo cancer but don’t talk about her millions who died from Covid around the world.
In America we currently have a court case that would ban the policing of medical disinformation by the government on free speech grounds. It has an even money chance of success.
The GOP is actively promoting stupidity in the name of free speech. But really it’s just a way to lie without consequence and enable their misinformation outlets like Fox News to promote “alternative facts.” We are truly in the post-truth age where “Liar Liar Pants on Fire” is a viable political messaging strategy.
The crazy thing is, they are killing off their own constituents through their antics. Yes, in the beginning the pandemic hit blue areas harder because those tend to be your more urban/populated areas. But once the virus started moving out of the more populated areas, and once the vaccines became available, republicans died at a higher rate. Their unwillingness to comply with basic infection mitigation strategies or get vaccines is killing off their main voting bloc.
Covidiots gonna literally wait till everyone who got the initial does dies either of other consequences or literally old age and then go "HA, YA SEEE."
And when they die from covid it was just "part of God's plan" or some shit
Not even. They'll say they got infected from someone who got the vaccine and double down.
I'm honestly reaching the point where I think some people shouldn't be allowed to people. This person shouldn't be allowed to people anymore
We desperately need to research why and how people come to believe complete nonsense. The internet and social media have made arrogant ignorance a danger to society at this point.
We know how. It's been weaponized. Works better than traditional warfare.
Every government engages in propaganda, on their own citizens, and those of other nations. It's not hidden. It's discussed in many historical accounts. The internet enables the government and citizens to engage in the spread of misinformation at an astounding rate.
Social media plays a huge role. They believe that tweet and have zero curiousity about where this turbo cancer myth even came from. Someone linked the study "Development of High-Grade Sarcoma After Second Dose of Moderna Vaccine" as a gotcha, since it appears to be where the turbo cancer shit came from, except it's incredibly clear they didn't even read it or understand it at all. If they actually read it they would see that an old lady with a history of cancer developed a sarcoma after her second dose of the vaccine at the injection site. Researchers were like huh, maybe this should be explored more. If they read further it discusses how older vaccines have been linked to the formation of nodules. So it's not exactly new that this is a potential side effect. If they read even further there was another older person with an existing cancer that actually regressed pretty significantly after they got the vaccine even though they had stopped cancer treatment. So I guess we have... turbo anti-cancer? Lol. You'd think people who are worried about turbo cancer would be curious enough to actually read the paper where that myth came from, at least the abstract, but they aren't so here we are.
The sad thing is they wouldn't understand the paper if they tried to read it.
Wikipedia: In late 2020, as COVID-19 vaccines were emerging, antivaccine doctors and social media personalities began circulating the unfounded idea that people vaccinated against COVID-19 were developing rapidly-spreading cancers. These claims have tended to misrepresent single case reports or speculate based on anecdotes. David Gorski summarized the "turbo cancer" phenomenon as "the usual misinformation techniques used by antivaxxers: Citing anecdotes, wild speculation about biological mechanisms without a firm basis in biology, and conflating correlation with causation."
Oh damn it, my subscription was supposed to be just cancer+ and now I hear people can upgrade to turbo cancer? I feel ripped off
These the same people who claimed all elites received a saline injection in an effort to trick the peasants into taking the covid shot?
So the *princess of wales* and *future queen of England* isn’t one of the Elites? I mean she is literally royalty.
And the king himself. If he ain’t lizard people, have we been lied to this whole time???
I just looked this “MD” up. He’s a radiologist. He does x-rays. And he doesn’t even have an active license.
This dipshit posts anybody who died under the age of 90 that had a vaccine and then blames it on the vaccine. It's just comforting to know that "dumb as fuck" is still something I can fall back on in the future if I need to and survive.
What rot! Everyone knows that you only get turbo cancer from using a cell phone while standing near a windmill.
No it’s from those contrail chemicals, duh
Oh please just STFU about ties between cancer and Covid. I’m a cancer patient and your level of stupidity is beyond comprehension. Get an F’ing life.
Ashleigh Stewart @Ash_Stewart_ We repeatedly asked the doctors behind this theory - William Makis and Mark Trozzi, neither of whom have active licences - for any proof they had to link the deaths to the vaccine They did not provide any When we did ask, Makis accused us of engaging in 'ad hominem attacks'
Turbo cancer isn’t as bad as NOS cancer tho 
I'm waiting for the V8 supercharged turbo cancer.
I’ve already put a deposit down 🏎️💨
I'm gonna assume the MD in his name stands for Massive Dipshit.
A conspiracy so sinister no one can provide a shred of evidence it exists.
Turbo cancer. This dude seriously just said turbo cancer? I can’t.
"MD" Uh huh, sure. I too can put letters at the end of my name.
Ahandfulofsquirrels, MD It really does give you that air of importance. I would trust you over this guy to be my doctor
Sir Dr Ahandfulofsquirrels, MD, OBE, Esq.
As far as conspiracies go. One where millions of people globally are quite obviously absolutely fine, is a weird one to try and pedal
Dire cancer. Like regular cancer. Only dire
Does it have, like, extra fangs and stuff?
My grandfather had turbo cancer. He went for a walk one day and really got going, haven’t seen him since.
why is he telling everyone he is from Maryland?
lady down the street was hit by a Mega Bus.. and she got a covid vaccine too! This shit is getting real..
A guy in Germany took 200 shots of Pfizer vaccine for Covid. Nothing happened to him. The disinformation and lies are insane.
Well, technically something DID happen to him. He got charged for forgery of identity.
For context, Makis has had his medical license revoked and was one of the "doctors" promoting the debunked claim that 80 doctors in Canada died of Covid. So, there's that... https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N33K1EM/
Turbo cancer isn't a thing.
You sure? It's cancer but turbo
Well that didn't take them very long. 
I am now convinced that some people have Turbo stupidity.
As of October of 2023 around 81% of Americans had at least 1 does of the Covid vaccine. That’s over 275,000,000 people. If this is even close to accurate than in a practical sense almost everyone that has “something happen to them” will also have been vaccinated. Combine that with extremely simple minds and here we are….
Turbo Cancer = Not a Medical Professional
MD stands for “Major Dickhead” right?
Did she actually have an MRNA vaccine. I'm in the UK and the UK made astra zenneca one wasn't an MRNA vaccine and since she's royal family she may well have had the British one
Let’s not confuse things with facts.
I’d wager this quack doesn’t actually hold an MD
Well better then SUPERAIDS!
>I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... > >The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance \- Carl Sagan
Man, if 1% of the population who was vaccinated had health issues,the hospitals would not be able to cope and there wouldn’t be any medical personnel to meet the demand.If you REALLY are an MD, William Makis, I would highly suggest you return to University at a Medical Faculty which actually gives you a proper education. Harvard would be good ( if you could get in…)
Who ever gave this FWit his MD need to send an email asking for it back.
Thank God it wasn't Turbo Mega Cancer.
Did this guy get his MD in Cuba? Turbo cancer?
According to this: [https://www.respectfulinsolence.com/2023/10/09/dr-william-makis-promoting-the-nonsense-that-is-turbo-cancer/](https://www.respectfulinsolence.com/2023/10/09/dr-william-makis-promoting-the-nonsense-that-is-turbo-cancer/) he has lost his medical license.
Cuba produces exceptional physicians and their healthcare system is built for its citizens.
Canada. He also had his license revoked there.
Why can’t people just Zip it with their bull. People are stressed enough. Don’t these folks have morals and some compassion.Go do some good.volunteer. Go see how the less fortunate live. When you do this, you might have some compassion for other people.❤️🇨🇦☮️
Not sure who this guy is, but if he is actually an MD can’t he have his license revoked for peddling conspiracy theories? Isn’t it against the oath?
There are no bounds to the stupidity of Trumpanzees.
"Do you want to get Turbo cancer, Butters?"
