My aunt was boosted and a low grade fever followed; obviously she attributed it to the known side effects. The fever lasted weeks though, followed by pain in her bones, then diagnosed with myelofibrosis. She's now facing a bone marrow transplant as her only treatment option.
Two friends of mine in their 40s (42 and 46), a married couple, have been recently diagnosed with cancers. They have a 7 year old daughter. My friend just suffered a double mastectomy for breast cancer that was detected in October 2021 and her husband is undergoing chemo for non hodgkin lymphoma, which has no cure. He was diagnosed in December 2021.
My grandmother died of cancer, my wife had a skin cancer removed, I have had some pre-cancerous colon polyps removed, and my son passed away with cancer.
Of course all of that was before COVID-19.

I'm sorry to hear about your son. That's awful for any parent to endure.
May I ask how many married couples in their 40s you know both diagnosed for cancer w/i a few months of one another?
My friends are the only ones I've ever heard of in this situation.
Here's an interesting study on the matter in case you're interested in potentially changing your mind in light of new information.
