Like all cancer it's a mutation from sources unknown. Environmental, genetic or just bad luck. Finding something to blame is a waste of time. We have so much more to worry about.

I just received a full list of vaccines recommended post-SCT for the next 27 months. Even Flu-shots. Not one suggestion for COVID-19. In fact, if I take it upon myself to get a Moderna shot, I'm to notify my oncologist so I can be more closely monitored.
Yet we're being told there is no correlation between the vaccines and MM.
Big Pharma is as powerful as Big Oil companies. But you must be your own advocate and judge accordingly. I'm just a guy lacking sleep. 🙏

There has been a trigger as most would agree. Every case is different so it stands to reason that the triggers would differ widely as well. Personally, I had 3 Covid vaccines of one type, no problem, and a fourth booster of a different brand that put me in bed sick for a week. I have never been the same since. Is this a coincidence? Some say there are none. I've never smoked, never drunk alcohol in 5 years, a swimmer, diver, and athlete all my life. I had CBC bloodwork every year, sometimes twice a year, that suddenly crashed after the last shot! I realize we all have more important things to deal with now that we've already contracted this evil MM stuff. But it's a topic that sure starts some thinking and conversations. What do you think your trigger may have been? The 70's and 80's perhaps. No one knows. Or at least they're not saying.
There is no right or wrong here, just beliefs and opinions.
God Bless and let's all pray for a cure 🙏 🌞 🙏🏿,

I doubt there is any correlation between MM and vaccines. The number of new cases in the U.S. hovers right around 35,000 per year. Rates of new cases has been around 6-7 per 100,000 per year over the last 10 years.
