“Where is the scientific evidence that Beau’s brain cancer was a result of his service in Iraq? “
Where is the scientific evidence that it wasn’t? Do you see the logic fallacy that you are using? It is call an appeal to authority. Can the Biden family argue that being stationed in Iraq caused the cancer? Sure, can they provide proof? Doubt it, but that is not my point.
There is enough grey area and personal opinion, as NEITHER side can prove their position. It is also such a small point and there are WAY bigger issues with Biden’s mental capabilities or lack there of, that it is not worth the oxygen needed to argue about it.
Further details. He was DIAGNOSED with brain cancer in 2013. Brain tumors can take months to years to show symptoms according to the Mayo clinic.
Also there is a statistical increase in cancer for those that served in Iraq.
From your link:
Veterans saw a spike in urinary, prostate, liver and blood cancers during nearly two decades of war, and some military families now question whether their exposure to toxic environments is to blame, according to a McClatchy investigation.
No mention of brain cancer. Beau was a JAG officer. He would be far less exposed to the external environment than a trooper on the line.
I served a year in Vietnam as a navy supply officer in Danang. My exposure to Agent Orange was virtually nil. I understand the difference between being in a country with a documented connection to a real environmental hazard and my personal exposure to such a threat.
You can speculate all you want, but there is no documented evidence that Beau Biden’s brain cancer was connected to his service in Iraq. Nor is there any evidence to support Joe Biden’s assertion that he received a telephone call that his son was killed in Iraq. But there is a mountain of evidence that Joe Biden is an inveterate liar.
