Recently, a video from 2022 featuring Joe Biden discussing cancer has circulated once again, especially after his announcement regarding prostate cancer.
This video originates from Biden’s comments about pollution from an oil refinery located near his childhood home in Claymont, Delaware. He mentioned the issues he faced there, saying, “I had to wear windshield wipers to literally slide oil paintings out of the window, so that’s why so many other people I grew up with had cancer…” He highlighted a concerning statistic: for a long time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.
Senator JD Vance has voiced concerns following Biden’s recent diagnosis of “aggressive” prostate cancer, which has now spread to his bones. Vance is questioning why the public was not made aware of Biden’s previous assertions suggesting he had cancer back in 2022.
The spokesperson noted that during routine checks, Biden discovered prostate nodules after experiencing increased urinary symptoms. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer characterized by a Gleason score of 9, which indicates a significant severity.
While this diagnosis reflects a more aggressive form of the disease, it appears to be hormone-sensitive. Biden, along with his family, is currently exploring treatment options with his healthcare provider.
Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel, an oncologist who was previously part of Biden’s Covid-19 advisory board, suggested that Biden may have had cancer during his presidency, raising questions about whether he concealed this information while in office.
Amid this discussion, the Republican National Committee shared the video clip, asking, “Did Joe Biden announce he has cancer?”
Andrew Bates, a former White House spokesman, clarified that Biden was referring to a non-melanoma skin cancer he had removed prior to his presidency, distinguishing it from his current prostate cancer diagnosis.
This clarification drew skepticism online, with some users challenging the logic behind claims linking skin cancer to the environmental issues Biden described.
However, the Biden administration has not addressed his statements regarding his cancer in the present tense.
