Biden cancer nonprofit suspends operations

EXCERPT

A nonprofit cancer foundation created by former Vice President Joe Biden is shutting down after two years because of “unique circumstances.”

The Biden Cancer Initiative, a tribute to the 2020 candidate’s late son, Beau Biden, began operating in 2017 and has since pledged more than $400 million to improve cancer treatment. The nonprofit was founded as a philanthropic extension of the White House Cancer Moonshot program, an Obama-era program that seeks to accelerate a cure to cancer through public-private partnerships.

“For more than two years, the Biden Cancer Initiative has focused on creating and implementing programs and platforms that accelerate progress against cancer,” Greg Simon, president of the Biden Cancer Initiative said in a July 11 press release. “Today, we are suspending activities given our unique circumstances. We remain personally committed to the cause, but at this time will have to pause our efforts.”

So did Biden quit and he is giving up on the cure of cancer too? What happened?

“Unique circumstances”, eh? Maybe “unique circumstances” that also caused Ghislane Maxwell to shut down TerraMar a few days ago?

>> Biden cancer nonprofit suspends operations

... and just when Biden announced that as President he would cure cancer.

How odd.
