It takes quite a long time to prove the link between a viral infection and a cancer that develops decades later, so it'll be a while before we know for sure.
There are other potential longer term side effects that at least seem to have some emerging data to back them up, which seem more concerning to me.
I don't agree with the premise behind this reasoning, but I can see how it'd come about.
While this is not cancer, for those poor souls, a lifetime spent struggling to breathe is not much better.
