Here's the dog that is likely to discover the cure, BTW:

President Biden is apparently an even bigger believer in dogs than we all previously thought ... he says man's best friend might be able to help cure cancer!!!
The Prez showered dogs with tons of praise Tuesday during a visit to Ohio State University’s James Cancer Hospital, saying ... "Dogs may help cure cancer. Not a joke."
Biden's statement immediately raised a lot of eyebrows around the country, because even if ya love dogs -- CURING cancer??? Watch the clip, because the President did say something 100% factual ... which is that dogs can smell cancer, and some have been trained to give patients and/or doctors a heads-up.
But, that's really detection, stretching it out to curing cancer ... seems far-fetched. Sorry, Fido.
Biden's remark harkens us back to a time last summer when another POTUS suggested ingesting bleach would be a great way to combat the coronavirus. He's always claimed he was joking, but c'mon ... we all saw the news conference.
Of course, some are defending Biden's statement by pointing out early detection is key to a patient starting treatment ... and therefore, giving them a better shot at remission. We guess one could make that argument.
We should all agree ... dogs are awesome -- it's just a matter of how awesome.
Many of us love dogs as pets or helpers with livestock, but many single, suburban, female Democrats tend to treat dogs as if they were human children. Biden is appealing to them.
Somebody needs to let the senile old guy know that dog ownership is a vestige of our colonialist imperialist speciesist past and must be ended like all forms of racism now!
;-)
Joe Biden PROMISED to cure cancer when he was on the campaign trail.
Does this mean he is done now?
And cats can help to cure heart disease... but they won’t.
I realize that dogs’ noses are extremely sensitive and dogs can be trained to detect cancer extremely early, which can lead to a cure, but dogs can’t actually cure cancer.
Now that’s funny!
I remember the insane ballistic reaction to Trump’s speculation that bleach might help kill covid. The left expanded it and changed it into something that Trump never said. I remember how they went insane over Quayle’s question about whether potatoes had an E or not. I remember how they trashed Gerald Ford for being clumsy.
They will protect their old decrepit communist and never say a disparaging word about him.
The media is the most subversive institution in this country.
Hahah. Love it.
I agree with you. I’m pet agnostic but agree that working dogs have some fantastic capabilities.
People who claim human characteristics to animals need human friends.
I think he heard they can smell cancer in people, and the effect is trainable.
Here's the dog that is likely to discover the cure, BTW:
😂 LOL
Well done, and true.
“With training” dogs can smell cancer.
CNN’s Kate Bolduan presses Biden campaign co-chairman Rep. Cedric Richmond on Biden’s promise.
Yes, but only the very smartest dogs can make it into Medical School, and as of yet we haven't had ANY graduate.
So Biden is technically correct, but this may be decades down the road....
I’ve heard that dogs can be trained to sniff out cancer, and they certainly provide comfort when getting treatment but....CURING....? I’m gonna go with no.
