By the way, we all know that there are people being cured of cancer. The issue is there are quite a few different types of cancers and even the cells within the same cancer in a patient can differ. That’s why there is no one cure available for all cancers. While so many advancements have been made on cancer treatments and cures for certain types of cancers, there certainly no cure for “cancer” seen in the near future.
Mostly is reveals that Biden has no understanding of what cancer is, or what is the state of progress being made in treating it. The massive worldwide research effort will continue, important steps will be taken, but the chances of a magic bullet "cure" happening during a Biden administration are essentially zero.

You have to love Biden's snake oil salesman approach.
Just buy my elixir and you will buy the fountain of youth. Only my elixir can cure cancer. How do these scum bags even look at themselves in the mirror? How can anyone even support such a liar?

It works well for Trump! I'm not seeing the problem you're having with your faux outrage at being lied to. You should be used to it by now.

I dont like Trump either. Please show me a post I have made supporting Trump's lies? But I am a cancer survivor and I do take it personally when a scum bag like Biden makes promises he knows damned well he can't deliver on.

As you have demonstrated in the post I respond to, you evidently have no issue with our elected reps blatantly lying to you. That's the problem with party hardliners. They are only willing to hold the other side accountable.

Obama lied they said he mis-stated or he was taken out of context or what he really meant was..... No he lied like a rug.

Trump lies and his followers say He made a mistake or its fake news.

In this case. Joe the sniffer Biden lied. He doesn't have a cure for cancer. A cure isn't dependent upon his becoming president and he knows this. What he can work on however, is a cure for old perverts like him, Clinton, and Trump who like to grope and sniff. In fact we have one. Chemical castration. Do a couple old politicians like Biden and we might see the old bastids keep their hands to themselves. Let me guess you are in the group that believes Joe sniffing hair is just an attempt to make them feel at ease?

I'd like to put in a shout out to Al Gore for inventing the internet. Without Al, where would we be? Now Joe has this wonderful idea to cure cancer and has pledged he will.

To any politician who claims that they will do such and such, A and B.


A: Don't just make the claim but tell me how you are going to do it.


B: When Pakistan exploded their atomic bomb, the western world was taken by surprise. "Why?" Pakistan said, "We told you about when we were running for office.". "Oh," the West said, "around here, no one keeps their campaign promises.".

Hows that beautiful coal comeback going? These campaign promises are aspirations at best. Most rational people know living with a serious disease is more than enough to hope for. Sometimes I forget that Magic Johnson still has Aids.

Too bad all Trump could think of was coal as something for the nation to hope for. Who cares about coal anymore, every one thinks about cancer, Trump loses big on this one.

If Joe wins the presidency, at least he will provide as much entertainment as AOC.


I think we can kiss goodbye any firm action in trade talks with the Chinese, as Joe is bought and sold by them. Perhaps we can bid higher and have him represent the US instead. I hope he is not legally obligated to stick with his Chinese deal, or that there is an expiration date.

About as believable as Trump telling us windmills cause cancer. Unfortunately, old white borderline senile men are what this country wants in the oval office for now

As technology advances so will advances in treatments, such as the one that was publicly announced Wednesday. It's not a magic bullet cure but it is a better treatment than what they previously had. Right now it is for certain types of blood cancers but with more research and testing it may also be a good treatment for other types of cancers. The kudos for treatments such as this goes to the dedicated researchers, not to the likes of Biden, Obama, Clinton or even Trump.

Oklahoma doctors on Wednesday unveiled what they call a revolutionary new treatment for cancer patients.

The treatment harnesses the body’s own immune cells to fight tumors, and it will be offered starting Thursday at the Stephenson Cancer Center at OU Medicine.

Biden, "you didn't build that".
