The kooky logic behind the raft of spurious cancer claims from Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health Adam Stein, Deric Tilson | October 6, 2026

Private colleges accounted for 83,782 more. Harvard itself is responsible for 5,842 cancer deaths. Living near a Major League Baseball field causes almost 19 times as many cancer deaths as living near a Major League Soccer pitch. These conclusions are obviously absurd, but they come from the exact same methodology that researchers at Harvard use to “prove” that nuclear power plants cause cancer in nearby communities.
