Almost immediately after former US president Joe Biden's office announced he had been diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer, anti-vaccine advocates were blaming his condition on the Covid-19 jabs he publicly received and championed.

People from all over the country sent encouragement to the 46th president after he revealed his cancer diagnosis.

Shortly after news broke that the 82-year-old former president had cancer, social media lit up with conspiracy theorists insisting his illness had something to do with the covid-19 vaccine. In fact, people seemed fixed on one term which has spread widely among the scientific and medically illiterate.
