No reason to think this is anything other than normal stastical variation - at least at this time. not the same type of cancer even.
when there are billions of people in the world it is expected that some where several get cancer at the same time.

Randomness is clumpy

I’m surprised the hospital said they were confident it was safe. I wonder what gave them confidence? I’m struggling to think of what data I could have on hand that would convince me it was really safe. Also, to folks saying that randomness is clumpy… did you read the article? I think a bunch of nurses that notice they are all getting sick (and then FIVE of them getting brain tumors) should be taken quite seriously. I’d start with the assumption that there IS an environmental problem and then figure out what it is.

Just a coincidence! Nothing to see here!
Another example from a few years ago that extends back over time decades
