evidence: An Instagram post published in January 2024 claimed that "official data" from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed a "143,233% surge in fatal cancers among Vaxxed Americans". The figure most likely originated from an article published on The Exposé on 8 December 2023 titled, "U.S. Government Data Reveals a Staggering 143,233% Surge in Fatal Cancer Cases". The article explicitly attributed this increase to "the experimental Covid-19 injections". [...] Contrary to what the headline and the Instagram post might suggest, the 143,233% figure doesn’t come from an official report from the CDC or other public health agency. Instead, it was calculated by The Exposé based on data from the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
