Former NBC host Katie Couric faced backlash after claiming she wants to investigate what’s causing a recent rise in cancer in adults under 50, while blatantly ignoring the Covid jab as an obvious trigger.
Appearing on the On with Kara Swisher podcast, Couric asked, “What the fuck is going on?” with rising cancer rates in people under fifty.
“I am hearing more and more about people in their early forties, thirties, even twenties being diagnosed with this disease at an advanced stage, often metastatic colorectal cancer,” Couric described.
“And of course I’m excited about trying to figure out why this is happening,” continued the former NBC Today show host.

Katie Couric says doctors are now seeing something they can’t ignore:
• A 21-year-old with stage 4 colorectal cancer — no family history
• Patients in their 20s, 30s,… pic.twitter.com/hsEGR0gOXW
“There is something going on in our environment,” Couric added. “It’s not just obesity or sedentary lifestyle, you know, it’s a confluence of things that include ultra-processed foods, maybe microplastic forever chemicals, overprescription of antibiotics. I don’t know what is happening, but something is going on.”
“And there are 17 cancers – 17 cancers are increasing among people under 50, so what the fuck is going on?”
Couric was blasted on social media for ignoring the experimental Covid-19 injection as one of the most likely factors.
She names everything but the Covid shots.

All of the above plus the thing she can't bring herself to say. The proverbial elephant in the room. pic.twitter.com/f2TLxvmm0m

Jefferey Jaxen, a staunch informed consent proponent, underscored Couric’s previous use of her influence to shill the Covid jab, saying, “Couric ruthlessly and without independent thought or analysis advocated for people to get the Covid shot. There’s no sympathy for journalists who did this in my book.”
“The data was there in near realtime to show the shot didn’t stop transmission, caused heart damage in younger age groups and increasing evidence it causes many cancers. She should retire in disgrace.”
Addressing her 2.2 million Instagram followers in April 2021, Couric wrote, “I am so stoked that I got poked with my final vaccine,” adding that she received a Pfizer shot.
Since the Covid vaccine rollout, many doctors and scientists have suspected the Covid jab to be behind a rise in “turbo cancer” cases, where cancers develop that weren’t present before, or benign cancers suddenly turn malignant.
