Claim : Dikembe Mutombo died suddenly from turbo cancer!
Right after news broke that Dikembe Mutombo died at just 58 years of age, some people immediately claimed or suggested the former basketball star was killed by turbo cancer caused by the COVID-19 vaccine!

Truth : Dikembe Mutombo did not die suddenly from turbo cancer!
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine. Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of fake news created and propagated by anti-vaccine activists…
Dikembe Mutombo died from brain cancer
Dikembe Mutombo (born Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo on 25 June 1966) was a Congolese-American professional basketball player who played 18 seasons in the NBA.
On 15 October 2022, Mutombo announced that he was undergoing treatment for a brain tumour in Atlanta. The NBA, which conveyed his message, did not state the kind of brain tumour, or its staging.
Sadly, Mutombo died from brain cancer surrounded by his family on 30 September, 2024. Dikembe Mutombo was 58 years old.
Turbo cancer does not exist
I should point out that there is no such thing as “turbo cancer”, and after billions of doses have been administered worldwide in the past 3.5 years – there is still no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine can cause cancer, or make cancer go “turbo”.
Brain cancer can be detected late, or progress rapidly. For example, glioblastoma is a particularly aggressive and invasive type of brain cancer that often worsens rapidly after diagnosis. The median survival rate is only about 15 months, even with treatment.
Needless to say, anti-vaccine activists provide no evidence to back their claims that vaccinated people are dying from turbo cancer. Ironically, they even accused unvaccinated people (and fellow anti-vaxxers) like Kirstie Alley of dying from turbo cancer!

Dikembe Mutombo was vaccinated against COVID-19
Like billions of other people around the world, Dikembe Mutombo was vaccinated against COVID-19.
In fact, Mutombo made it a point to get his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at the Morehouse School of Medicine (archive | archive):
Morehouse is one of the historically black colleges and universities. I wanted to make an example and encourage people of color to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
However, that does not mean his COVID-19 vaccination caused his brain cancer. The fact remains – billions of people have received multiple doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, and they have not had cancer of any kind.
Needless to say, those making claims that Dikembe Mutombo’s brain cancer was caused by his COVID-19 vaccination have never offered any evidence.
