Biden* says once he defeats COVID, cancer is next - CrimsonPhantom - 02-20-2021 10:59 AM
Quote:President Biden said Friday that ending cancer will be his next big scientific endeavor after overcoming the coronavirus pandemic.
"I want you to know that once we beat COVID, we're gonna do everything we can to end cancer as we know it," Biden said in Michigan after touring a Pfizer vaccine manufacturing plant.
Biden was in charge of President Obama's "Cancer Moonshoot" initiative launched in 2016 to double the rate of progress toward a cure. The priority is personal to Biden, who lost his son Beau Biden to brain cancer in 2015. He was 46.
Biden drew parallels between fighting the pandemic and taking on cancer, the second-leading cause of death in America behind heart disease.
"This is a case of life and death," Biden said. "We're talking about people's lives."
He mentioned his January nomination of Eric Lander as Presidential Science Advisor and Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, a Cabinet-level assignment. He praised Lander as "a renowned Harvard, MIT scientist" and said he'll help bring together the country's top scientists to conduct advanced research on cancer and other diseases.
"This administration is going to be guided by science to save lives and to make life better," Biden said.

Dementia is in a neutral corner while the ref gives Joe his third standing eight count. Kamala has bet the house on dementia.

Now he's a research scientist?
The man wouldn't know the truth if it bit him in the butt. What a tool.

Well, his son died from brain cancer so he’s invested in trying to find a cure.

He couldn’t cure a paper cut

It might make more sense for him to concentrate on curing dementia next.

He can join Russell Crowe in his fight against cancer.

Biden has worked for years to generate funding and attention to cancer research. I’m not sure this is a winning issue for conservatives, but let’s hope they try.

I think everyone has lost someone to cancer. It’s a noble fight, and we already spend billions each year fighting cancer. I’m not mocking that desire. I’m mocking him drawing parallels between fighting covid and cancer.

I lost my Dad, my Step Mom, and my brother to cancer in a 5 month period in 2020. It was awful and cancer sucks and I hate it and all that, but I'm not stupid enough to think I can cure it.

Fukc cancer.

Let me guess, he's going to put Fauci in charge of it.
Fauci is to medicine what Biden is to politics. Been drawing a paycheck for decades and hadn't accomplished a dang thing, but NOW they're going to do something about it.
Riiiiiiiight.

Fauci is a public health bureaucrat. He's good at pushing paper and drawing charts and graphs, but his skill set has nothing to do with emergency response.
RE: Biden* says once he defeats COVID, cancer is next - TheOriginalBigApp - 02-21-2021 10:25 AM
Fauci is a fraud. His answers are totally dependent on who's asking the question and how it's framed, giving the interviewer the answer they want. a Go-Along-To-Get-Along type.
Fauci = Swamp

And that's the truly evil part of his statement. He will play on the people with emotional pain that arent as smart as you ro see through his nonsense.
