HEALTHJoe Biden Has 'Probably' Had Cancer Since 2021, Top Oncologist Insists in Shocking New Statement
A top oncologist insisted Joe Biden has 'probably' had cancer since 2021.
Top oncologist Dr. Zeke Emanuel, who served as an advisor for health policy under Barack Obama, spoke out in the wake of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis to insist he's has had cancer for quite some time.
Biden's 'Had This for Many Years'
Dr. Zeke Emanuel said Joe Biden's had cancer for 'many years.'
Emanuel claimed Biden “did not develop [prostate cancer] in the last, 100, 200 days” when appearing on Morning Joe on May 19, insisting “very few people get diagnosed this advanced.”
While Emanuel said it “doesn’t mean he’s going to die from it,” he stated Biden “had it while he was president.”
“He probably had it at the start of his presidency, in 2021,” he continued. “Yes, I don't think there's any disagreement about that.” Emanuel noted Biden’s “had this for many years, maybe even a decade, growing there and spreading,” explaining he looked back at the politician's records and saw “no evidence that when he got his health status and the medical records were released that he had a prostate-specific antigen.”
'Not Speculation'
Dr. Zeke Emanuel said Joe Biden's had cancer 'for many years.'
“Now, it is true that a lot of people recommend not doing a prostate-specific antigen after 70,” he elaborated. “But President Biden’s been in public life a very long time. He was vice president and had a lot of exams under 70. So it’s a little surprising that they didn’t do it. And maybe President Biden decided he didn’t want the test. Many men do decide they don’t want [it], but this is also aggressive.”
While Emanuel acknowledged he doesn’t know how long the cancer has been “in” Biden, he shared it was a “little surprising to many of us oncologists that he wasn’t diagnosed earlier.”
“So, this is not speculation? If you have prostate cancer that has spread to the bone, then you are saying, most certainly, he had it when he was president of the United States?” host Joe Scarborough, who seemed skeptical of Emanuel’s allegations, asked.
“Oh yeah,” Emanuel replied, going on to reaffirm his stance that Biden has had cancer for quite some time now.
