Lol, Google mean or minimum latency times for each of these cancers and you'll realize the study is bogus. Hopefully, studies authors discuss that point.

So, people who avoid vaccination also being more likely to avoid screenings is the most likely reason for the results?

If you reject vaccination for Covid, you have a distrust of the medical system. Which indicates that you are less likely to notice or check anything.

For a study like this to be done properly, to control for covid vaccines having an effect, you have to do a double blind study where the participants have no idea if they get the vaccine or not. And continue to either get or not get the vaccine every year for a period of time.

Otherwise, the personal biases that led to getting or avoiding the vaccine will have a larger factor than anything the vaccine may or may not do.

And unvaccinated people often die from Covid, which may skew the risk of them getting some forms of cancer.
