You make it sound like "certain viruses can cause cancer" is hidden knowledge that is being actively suppressed by 'the establishment' for some nefarious reason.
The first virus found to cause cancer was Rous Sarcoma virus in 1911, in chicken. Since then, several cancer inducing viruses (oncoviruses) have been discovered.
They are all covered in virology textbooks. If you have the time, watch the Virology course of Dr. Vincent Racaniello of Columbia University. It is well covered there.
Viruses like Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) causes cervical cancer in women. Others like Hepatitis B and C cause liver cancer. Other common ones are Kaposi sarcoma, HIV, and Epstein-Barr.
All in all, viruses cause around 12% of cancer cases. So they are just one factor, not THE only factor.
There is no conspiracy here.
