Original Note:
This claim is false. Cancer screenings were missed because medical staff were overwhelmed with COVID. COVID deaths were vastly undercounted at the time a pandemic was declared. COVID kills annually more than triple the amount the flu does. https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2022/covid-increasing-cancer-screening https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10510914 https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/covid19/mortality-overview.htm
