To help probe the issue of viral involvement in cancer, a study was reported in 2018 of a library of gene sequence data on file for a repository of normal and malignant human tissue samples from 3,052 participants across 22 different cancer types. Results showed that five viral families are prevalent in human cancer. These include the Papillomaviridae, Polyomoviridae, Hepadnaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Herpesviridae. Viruses were detected in 7.5 – 98.8% of patients of seven cancers: bladder carcinoma, cervical squamous cell carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, liver hepatocellular carcinoma, rectum adenocarcinoma, and stomach adenocarcinoma. [Cantalupo PG, Katz JP, Pipas JM. Viral sequences in human cancer. Virology. 2018 Jan 1;513:208-216.] Having found that viral sequences were present in most of the files they analyzed from human tumor databases, the authors pointed out there are two possible explanations: first, a given virus may be present in human tissue because it infects humans, perhaps even contributing to tumorigenesis; and second, the viral detection may be due to an artifact. This seems to ignore additional uncertainties. Such studies showing evidence of a viral presence assume it to be an aggravating factor, a “driver” of malignancy and not necessarily a cause. However, if a low-level, smoldering, virus causes malignant transformation, once that is triggered, it need not continue growing in order for tumors to form and spread, so a low number of virus particles might end up being deadly but disregarded as having an important role if only present in low numbers or below level of detection. Also, there is the limitation that only known viral sequences were searched for, so no novel viruses could even be discovered by this survey. What is Creator’s perspective?

Forbes reported: “On October 20, 2025, Amazon Web Services, the backbone of much of the modern digital economy, suffered a widespread outage in its U.S. East region. The disruption brought down major websites, applications and systems around the world. From airlines to banks to social platforms, the effect was immediate and far reaching. This incident is not just another technical glitch. It is a reminder that even the largest and most sophisticated platforms in history can fail. The question is not whether it will happen again, but what every business will do differently now that it has.” While this outage caused inconvenience for consumers, it also carries a deeper warning for every enterprise and for the nation as a whole. Cloud dependence has become total and many industries would struggle to operate without it. The concentration of workloads in AWS’s U.S. East region highlights a serious vulnerability, particularly for sectors tied to national security. Much of the Defense Industrial Base relies on that same region for hosting, authentication and data management. A prolonged outage in U.S. East would not just disrupt business operations; it could affect defense readiness, logistics and the ability of contractors to deliver on sensitive government programs. Aside from unavoidable technical vulnerabilities, was there anything sinister behind this outage and could it be tied to the coming events like power outages we’ve been expecting? What can Creator tell us?
