Biden aims to reduce cancer deaths by 50% over next 25 years
The Associated Press ^ | February 2, 2022 | By JOSH BOAK (D-AP)

President Joe Biden is committing to reduce the cancer death rate by 50% — a new goal for the “moonshot” initiative against the disease that was announced in 2016 when he was vice president.

Biden has set a 25-year timeline for achieving that goal, part of his broader effort to end cancer as we know it, according to senior administration officials who previewed Wednesday’s announcement on the condition of anonymity.

The issue is deeply personal for Biden: He lost his eldest son, Beau, to brain cancer in 2015.

As part of the moonshot, Biden will assemble a “cancer Cabinet” that includes 18 federal departments, agencies and offices, including leaders from the Departments of Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, Defense, Energy and Agriculture.

The White House also will host a cancer moonshot summit and continue a roundtable discussion series on the subject.

Cool. So he stopped the virus, and now he is going to stop cancer. The guy is unbelievable.

I think he should also call to reduce worldwide shark attacks and snake bites.

Ten percent for the big guy is already included in the proposal.

His “cancer cabinet” will be headed by the venerable Anthony Fauci.

An attempt to get more people on the government payroll.

Kind of a shot in the dark since the new reporter from UK says the jab causes cancer!

Maybe a spike-protien cancer vaccine will make sure more peploe die of blood clots so fewer survive to develop cancer.

NO Chance of that happening. NONE.

The Covid (so called) vaccine will prevent any possibility of that happening.

Pfizer will have a say in this. To much money in chemo to let a true cure happen.

With a lot of people already dead from Covidcide, the statistics are probably baked into the future.

It’s easy. Just stop reporting cancer deaths, like they stopped reporting flu deaths during COVID.

I thought Biden was working on a “moon shot” cure for cancer?

Thanks for that link. What a HuffPo joke!

“Joe Biden Claims ‘We’re Going To Cure Cancer’ If He’s Elected President”
