Just one more reason, and reminder, why I am thankful I no longer have a TV.

Interesting… A leftist politician makes an unrealistic claim and the first thing the left media does is make-up excuses why the politician could fulfill their claim.

I think I may have gotten cancer watching that video clip.
It’s odd how much The View is quoted every day. Basically four hacks flapping their gums for a couple hours everyday.
Begs the question why Biden didn’t cure cancer when he was VP for eight years?
Biden knows there is no cure for ‘cancer’. Cancer is multi faceted and complex and is attacked in many different ways for many different cancers.
More pandering and feel good nonsense.
Shocker
October 2004, John Kerry presidential campaign: John Edwards made the absurd claim at a Kerry campaign rally.
John Kerry was not the swiftest boat in the water!
I’m so stressed about climate change that I don’t think I’ll be able to file or pay my income taxes next year….

The reason that there will be no cure for cancer? A certain industry [biggest lobby group of all, by coincidence], is raking in untold billions in treatments. Would they want to find a reason to stop this gravy train?
Of course, 100’s of thousands of researchers and doctors let their wifes, husbands, daughter, sons, brothers, sisters, and friends suffer and die, because they’re in on the secret.
1975: For the five most common cancers diagnosed in adults, the 5-year survival rates were: breast, 75%; prostate, 69%; lung, 13%; colorectal, 51%; and bladder, 74%.
As of 2006, the 5-year relative survival rates for the five most common cancers were: breast, 90%; prostate, 100%; lung, 16%; colorectal, 67%; and bladder, 81%
And that’s 13 years ago.
Combination chemotherapy is now standard in the treatment of many cancers and has contributed to increasing survival and cure rates. For example, the introduction of combination chemotherapy that contained the drug cisplatin led to cure rates for testicular cancer of approximately 95 percent. Treatment for this disease has become so effective that 80 percent of patients with metastatic testicular cancer can now be cured. Thirty-five years ago, 95 percent of these patients died, usually within 1 year of diagnosis.
Thus far, three cancer prevention vaccines have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One of these vaccines, the hepatitis B virus vaccine, has the potential to prevent some forms of liver cancer. The remaining two vaccines are directed against human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 and have the potential to prevent approximately 70% of cervical cancers and some other HPV-associated cancers.
In 2010, the FDA approved the first cancer treatment vaccine, sipuleucel-T (http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/druginfo/sipuleucel-T). This vaccine can be used to treat advanced prostate cancer. Several other cancer treatment vaccines are currently being tested in large-scale clinical trials, including vaccines for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma, and multiple myeloma.
Therapies that target the specific molecular changes that cause cells to become cancerous and processes that are required for continuous cancer cell growth and survival are now part of our therapeutic arsenal. To date, the FDA has approved approximately 30 molecularly targeted agents for cancer-related indications, including trastuzumab and three different aromatase inhibitors for breast cancer; imatinib mesylate for chronic myelogenous leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal cell tumors (GIST); sunitinib for advanced kidney cancer and imatinib-resistant GIST; bevacizumab for advanced colorectal, non-small cell lung, and kidney cancers; and bortezomib for multiple myeloma and a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Refined radiation therapy techniques, such as three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and brachytherapy (radioactive seeds), which are designed to deliver high doses of radiation to tumors while minimizing the doses delivered to nearby healthy tissue, are now widely used. These advances result in greater tissue, organ, and limb preservation.
Ugh — that youtube image borders on nauseating. Reminds me of that “coffee-talk” character played by Mike Myers on SNL. Except that this lady is definitely not funny.
And haven’t just about every presidential candidate for decades “promised” to cure cancer?

“I’m going to cure cancer!” That statement, or similar, slipped into a politician’s speech, has been an inside joke among speech writers since at least back in the Carter administration. I’m not the least surprised he fell for it.
World class stupid is not all that uncommon. What’s frightening is that her ratings are high and her contract keeps getting renewed year after year after depressing year.
BTW, Joel, your comment above is the only one I can think of that could possibly include the words “bright” and “Behar” in the same sentence.

Joe is covered when he doesn’t cure cancer! It was because of Climate Change! You can’t prove otherwise! The climate will always change as long as there is an atmosphere.

As I recall Israeli medical researchers reported extraordinary results in shrinking some forms of cancer.
I propose hiring Israeli scientists to find a cure.

Children or people that are nice but think like children will not help us find our problems or solve our problems.
The problem is those talking are just making up stuff up and they are not critical/independent/deep thinkers and hence are not interested in new information, observations, analysis, or facts concerning the science, how much money we have to spend, and things like cost benefit analysis and prioritization of problems.
The left wing reports/hosts are friendly talkative, child like people (example CNN’s Don Lemon) who like to talk and roll their eyes. I notice that PBS news reporters have added eye rolling to their news reports to emphasize how right they think they are.
Spending a gazillion dollars on cancer ‘research’ has not changed anything.
Spending a gazillion dollars on fighting climate change also will not change anything.

You have to love command economies, don’t you? Just command it and it will be done -poof, like magic! Researchers spending billions of dollars and searching for their whole lives must be just slacking and playing Call of Duty and eating doughnuts. But wait, if ONLY the command is given from the very top (presuming Joe becomes president, an iffy proposition at best given his past campaign history), all outstanding issues will be solved, all problems disposed of, and everyone Utopianistically happy! Cancer will be cured, and a practical containment field to hold a functioning, perpetual mini-sun will result, we’ll all be begging for EVs because power will be so cheap and reliable.
A word of warning, Joe and Joy, recall that those commanding the economic socialist paradise in Venezuela forgot to command up enough toilet paper and electricity and chicken and dinner rolls. So while ya’ll are curing cancer and finishing off fusion power and the like, don’t forget about those little trivialities. Umm-kay? That’d be great.

Tackling morbid obesity would be an easier task that could show results ? But I guess that would impact on sombody’s bottom line so it becomes a no no. Could also change the future of that gal in pink with the shoulder pads, whoever she is.

Which presidential candidate promised that if he was elected Christopher Reeves would walk again?
October 2004, John Kerry presidential campaign: John Edwards made the absurd claim at a Kerry campaign rally.
John Kerry was not the swiftest boat in the water!
But he did have a magic hat.

So – absolutely nothing since the 40’s with chemo the continuing solution?
And yes; I have lost many loved ones also.

The Stupid burns bright white-hot in Joy Behar.

Does the Climate Change meme embrace gullible stupidity?
Or does gullible stupidity embrace the Climate Change meme?
A: Yes.
Behar proves one thing about “Climate Change”; “Climate Change” sure can not fix stupid.
“Climate Change” CAUSES teh stupid….It’s science…..
