   Can you demonstrate where the experimental design of the study you cite   
   precludes what I stated?  No you can't, because the reference web page   
   you cite only provides the abstract, not the nitty-gritty details of the   
   experimental design. A good study protocol contains a discussion of how   
   the design of the study attempts to eliminate or at least minimize the   
   type of faulty conclusions you have accepted as valid.   
      
   Also, your selective quotation from the abstract failed to include the   
   following direct quotes from the abstract:   
      
   "However, the researchers cautioned that the findings represent a   
   statistical association, not proof of causation, emphasizing the need   
   for further research to determine whether the increases reflect a   
   biological effect or are influenced by other factors such as healthcare   
   access, screening frequency, or population demographics."   
      
   and   
      
   "Some medical professionals caution, however, that these patterns may   
   also reflect non-vaccine factors, including pandemic-related health care   
   disruptions, delayed diagnoses, expanded screening programs, or an aging   
   population—all of which can elevate reported incidence rates. Yale   
   Medicine reports that rates of early-onset breast, colorectal, stomach,   
   thyroid, and prostate cancers have been rising for years across multiple   
   countries."   
      
   How convenient for you not to have included those portions of the abstract!   
      
   If you try to go head to head with me I strongly suspect that you will   
   lose.  I spent more than a decade working full time in the management of   
   human subjects medical research in a huge federal organization.  For   
   much of that time, I was the sole individual personally responsible for   
   the safe and ethical treatment of human subjects in a huge program (over   
   $100M/year) of world-wide clinical investigations.  My personal   
   signature was required before any human subjects medical research funded   
   by the organization I worked for was authorized to recruit a single   
   subject.  I also had full authority to grant or retract permission to   
   perform any human subjects clinical research whatever at the facilities   
   where funding for these projects included funds from my organization's   
   budget.  I was second level review after local institutional review   
   board approval of each study and commonly sent IRB approved protocols   
   back for revision because of flaws in experimental design.  Junk   
   protocols yield junk data which reach unsupportable conclusions.  It is   
   unethical to subject human subjects to any risk if the outcome of the   
   study is predetermined to be junk science.  My background includes a   
   M.D. degree and more than 5 years of post-graduate training at a   
   nationally recognized ivy-league medical school.  Why don't I still work   
   at that organization?  I'm happily retired after many decades of hard work.
