Catherine Middleton, Princess of Wales. — The Princess of Wales has been diagnosed with some form of intraabdominal cancer. Unfortunately, antivax quacks are pouncing, claiming she has "turbo cancer" from COVID-19 vaccination.

Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, announced this week that she has undergone surgery and is now receiving chemotherapy for cancer. It took no time at all before antivaxxers started claiming that she is a victim of “turbo cancer,” because of course. They’re antivaxxers.
