Arrr! President Biden be facin' a storm o' cyber attacks after boldly declarin' in a grand White House speech that he and his crew have successfully scuttled the fearsome beast known as cancer. Har har!
President Biden faced backlash on social media after claiming that his administration has effectively "ended cancer as we know it." During a speech about expanding access to mental health care, Biden made the eyebrow-raising comment, stating that if he could do anything, he would cure cancer because nobody thinks it can be done. His online critics quickly fact-checked and mocked his claim. Greg Price, communication director of The State Freedom Caucus Network, sarcastically remarked that Biden's dementia is so bad that he now thinks he cured cancer. Actor Nick Searcy tweeted sarcastically, attributing Biden's cancer cure to the money his son Hunter received from other countries. Conservative influencer Rogan O'Handley called Biden an international joke for making such a claim. Others joined in the criticism, questioning who is briefing Biden and why adults haven't intervened. Liz Willis, who lost her mother to cancer, tweeted that her mother still seems pretty dead to her. Cancer experts and researchers have also challenged Biden's initiative, stating that a cancer cure is still a long way off despite additional funding. Biden's commitment to cancer research stems from the loss of his son Beau Biden, who died from brain cancer in 2015. He led the "Cancer Moonshot" program during the Obama administration and reignited it in 2022, aiming to cut the death rate from cancer by at least 50% over the next 25 years and make fatal cancers treatable in the future. In 2021, Biden declared that ending cancer would be his next big scientific endeavor after overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic.
