(Twitter)—I’ve noticed a lot more reports lately of people dying after a “short battle with cancer.” It seems to have replaced “cause of death unknown” as the most common reason major and minor celebrities have died for the last couple of months.
For background, I am editor of The Liberty Daily and Discern Report. As such, I read through 1500-2500 headlines across 300 news sources daily. While I’m neither a doctor nor a statistician, I can see trends in the news cycle and this one has stuck out to me for a bit.
Two possibilities seem most likely. The first is the notion that the Covid jabs have increased the prevalence of cancer in America and across the globe. There are studies that back this possibility, though nothing that has stood out as definitive yet.
The second possibility, less likely but still an option, is that the skepticism about the efficacy and safety of the jabs has reached a tipping point and the powers-that-be are trying to mitigate damage by limiting cases of famous people reportedly dying suddenly without a cause of death listed.
Generally, vaccine-skeptics will see “cause of death unknown” as jab-related while they’ll see “short battle with cancer” as non-jab-related.
By no means am I suggesting that anyone who dies from recently diagnosed cancer today is vaccine injured. I’m simply suggesting that it’s a trend that may be worth monitoring. It could all be my imagination but as someone who reports on instances of people dying suddenly from unknown causes, this latest trend stood out to me.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
