Former AFL star Jason Akermanis has questioned whether his wife’s recent breast cancer diagnosis is related to her Covid vaccination.
The wife of Brownlow medalist Megan Legge, 43, had a double mastectomy two weeks ago and will likely require trackside radiation.
Akermanis said he believed his wife was at low risk due to the fact that she does not drink alcohol and is fit and healthy.
“It happened right after she had the Covid shot and she felt a lump,” Akermanis told the Herald Sun.

“It doesn’t spread and it stands on its own, so she felt the safest option is a double mastectomy and she’ll recover in two to three months.”
Daily Mail Australia does not suggest a link between the Covid shot and breast cancer.
Mrs. Legge had discovered the lump about a month ago and her husband said she was ‘recovering well’.
The ex-footballer has been with his wife at their Brisbane home that they share with their three daughters aged four, 14 and 17.

Akermanis played 325 AFL games and scored 421 goals during his 16-year career between 1995 and 2010.
The four-time All Australian won three AFL premiers from four major finals for the Lions in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
The 45-year-old now works as a broker and auctioneer in Brisbane.
He was known for his signature spiky blonde hair and dark goatee during his AFL career, but has adopted a more professional look for his final career.
The father of three retired from the AFL in 2010 and began a professional golf career.
But he didn’t have much luck on the green and admitted on 3AW radio in 2019 that he had been banned from several golf clubs.
