If you hadn't written this 'stack', then I wouldn't have known that anyone still watched the ABC....

I can't figure out why anyone with two functioning brain cells is still watching the ABC. Oh, wait...

I'm shocked. You mean to tell me that the ABC is not Australia's most trusted news source? 😱 Fancy not even mentioning the Covid jabs - by omitting them they look more guilty. That's just lazy. What they should have done is got on an "expert" to tell us why the covid Vaccines have absolutely nothing to do with cancer rates. Getting sloppy.

Yes, the ABC seems to be getting complacent but perhaps their reasoning is that it might be best to let sleeping dogs lie. Even talking about the Covid gene-juice (which hardly anyone seems to want these days), even to debunk the 'anti-vaxxers', could be fraught with danger.

True. That's a good tactic. What Covid? Oh THAT. That was ages ago. Get over it.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Yes, that is exactly the strategy. We can't have people saying 'Well, to avoid cancer, then, I'd better eat less (check), eat better (check), move more (check), don't smoke (check), lay off the grog (check), oh, and keep away from those Covid shots'.

Living with it is increasingly a challenge for those who rolled up the sleeve.

I didn’t see Four Corners, but have read two ABC articles this week on it. You give a great summary of the articles and the problems with the ABC's approach!

I agree the rise in cancer is multifactorial but, by not showing us a GRAPH, the ABC is denying us the opportunity to see for ourselves if the rise was linear since 2000 or spiked since 2021.

Yes, if you are trying to hide something, then the lack of a visual display of data is a pretty good way of going about it!
