Medical professionals are reporting an uptick in aggressive cancers, such as melanoma and soft tissue sarcomas, among patients in their 30s and 40s. The report suggests that these "mystery" cancers are appearing in previously healthy, vaccinated individuals and that surgical removal is sometimes acting as a catalyst for further spread. While mainstream media often labels these cases as flukes or related to climate change, frontline workers are questioning the role of recent medical interventions.

Media commentators on the PBS NewsHour, including David Brooks, react with horror to Donald Trump's 95-minute speech in Iowa where he compared Ben Carson's "pathological" temper to a disease.
