Another potential reason for increased rates of cancer across the world. Now the involvement of the M Protein on the virus.
What he is not taking into consideration is the connection with COVID-19 vaccines increasing the risk of recurrent and persistent infection. In fact the immune system of the vaccinated and boosted population shifts towards immune tolerance with IgG4 antibodies.
Quote from the paper
Of note, coculture with M protein-treated MDA-MB-231 cells significantly induced the migration, proliferation, and stemness of MCF-7 cells, which are involved in the upregulation of genes related to EMT and inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, SARS-CoV-2 infection might promote the ability of aggressive BCC to induce the malignant phenotypes of the other non-aggressive BCC. Taken together, these findings suggested an increased risk of poor outcomes in TNBC patients with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, which required a long-term follow-up.
