One key aspect that most people don't seem to be aware of is that there has been a lot of research in the cancer causing impacts of Covid infections. Its been implicated and mechanistically shown to cause a number of cancers and Covid hangs around in the gut for years/potentially ever we aren't yet sure in some people and it acts like a phage. As a phage it infects certain bacteria in our gut and drastically changes the microbiome, pushing it towards colonies of bacteria that are implicated in colon cancer.

The scientific evidence isn't there yet for colorectal cancer but its being investigated in studies at the moment and we are expecting a mass disabling event due to Covid and Long Covid and a big increase in a variety of conditions including cancer. Its one of the most studied viruses in human history and it does a lot of bad stuff and most people are catching 1.5 times a year.
