Tuning into today's Morning Joe, you might understandably have expected simply an outpouring of sympathy over former President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis, with few if any uncomfortable questions raised.
Particularly so when the medical expert brought in was Dr. Zeke Emanuel, senior fellow at the left-wing Center for American Progress, and someone appointed by both Presidents Obama and Biden to White House advisory boards.
Surprisingly though, the show promptly raised several tough issues on the matter.
Emanuel said that very few people, only about 7%, get first diagnosed at this late stage, when the cancer has already metastasized.
As another oncologist said on NewsNation:
“This is what I typically would see in a VA hospital, where a patient hasn’t had medical attention in 10 years, presents to an emergency room with bone pain, and then they find that it’s metastatic prostate cancer.”

In the grand scheme of things, I would say the biggest coverup is Joe's dementia and the bogus players who covered that up and then actually ran the country.
And that includes the Biden family grifters plus more importantly politicos like Obama, Brennan, the CCP and other global interests.
If so, then do we need to force anyone running for President or Vice President to sign a waiver giving their consent?
I believe that there were plenty of people who knew darn well that Biden did not have what it took to handle the requirements needed to effectively carry out the responsibilities of the Presidency, and none said a thing.
Try them all, is my suggestion.
Understand legally a doctor cannot release ANYTHING publicly without a patients permission. However to claim he’s in perfect health when you know he’s not is a lie... you can quietly just say I am not allowed to discuss a patients medical condition.
There is no doubt these people lied, this is just another lie to add to the list
Only “very troubling”? No further consequences for lying? Why would the media/health car professionals, etc., not lie again?
Why, withholding biden’s health info from the public, or lying about it, is just not acceptable. Start your recorders because Joe is about to say the truth.
What a hypocritical crock he is.
Cancer feeds on testosterone; the hormone therapy is the use of lupron, which drastically reduces the body’s testosterone, and, therefore, muscle mass, weight, and overall appearance of health.
Oh come on now Joe, you LOVE being lied to by democrats. In fact, you fully support and parrot every lie coming from the democrat/communist party. So just knock off the clutching at pearls act you phony.
Quite surprising that with all this discussion about Brib’em and prostate cancer, there has been much said about PSA testing without the discussion about the validity of this test..... even though there has been significant discussion about it that goes back to 1986 and particularly the last 20 years.
There have been many articles posted here on FR over the years that have to do with prostate cancer and PSA…. Once again, I want to remind folks about some history worth noting. If you take the time to read the links below, remember…don’t bother to argue with me about any of this. If you want to argue, go argue with the findings of Dr. Thomas Stamey who was the Chief of Urology at Stanford University who developed the PSA blood test. It’s not possible to argue with Dr. Stamey himself… he passed away in 2015.
In 1987, Dr. Stamey and colleagues published findings that showed that serum PSA level was a marker for prostate cancer. Very quickly, PSA testing became a common test for men just about everywhere. However, by 2004 and after more research, Dr. Stamey published new findings that declared that the PSA results were not related to prostate cancer…. High readings were related to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) which is a medical condition defined as the histologic proliferation of epithelial and stromal cells as well as smooth muscle in the prostate. In other words, an enlargement of the prostrate that causes constriction of the urethra and prevents emptying of the bladder.
In 2011, Dr. Stamey said this… “When the final chapter of this disease is written, it will prove that never in the history of oncology will so many men have been so over-treated for one disease.” https://pcri.org/news/2017/1/20/to-be-or-not-to-be-biopsiedthat-is-the-question

Very familiar with Lupron; I thought the poster said he was on high-dose testosterone.
Dr. Zeke sez Pedo Pete is way past his expiration date, no?
But not nearly as troubling as not reporting that he'd scored a 1 on the Mini-Cog.
