Trump Is Shutting Down the War On Cancer

[Crepitus]

trump is cutting billions from cancer research. I'm not sure why, but it will have an effect. the progress made sine the "war on cancer" started back in the 70s has been huge, but this is definitely gonna slow it down if nor stop it completely.

I don't understand this. I would have thought anti cancer research would have been universally approved of and appreciated.

I guess it means, that among his failing health problems, cancer is not among them, so, no need for him to care.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact we are 36 trillion in debt, the majority of which was caused by Obama and xiden

While I’m sure the private sector will continue to work on cancer the USA has to tighten its belt due to wreak less spending

After democrats spent trillions on global warming there is no money for cancer research.

every solar panel and wind turbine is millions adding up to trillions not spent on cancer research

If democrats cared they would not of wasted our money

 

[elektra]

The government dont find cures for diseases. The government makes the cold worst, COVID!

 

[elektra]

Is this about gain of function covid research being shut down

 

[sartre play]

Not a good idea.

Since when has the Trump administration given a shit about cancer:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rollbacks
Several rollbacks of EPA regulations have been cited as potentially increasing public exposure to cancer-causing pollutants:

• Weakening of toxic air pollution rules: The administration ended an enforcement policy that required industrial facilities to meet stricter toxic air pollution controls. This change is projected by some groups to increase cancer-causing pollution in numerous states, particularly affecting communities located near chemical plants, power plants, and taconite iron ore facilities.
• Exemptions from air emission standards: The administration granted exemptions allowing over 50 chemical facilities to turn off pollution controls or bypass emission limits for hazardous chemicals, including ethylene oxide and chloroprene, both linked to cancer. Some of these facilities were already identified as posing exceptional cancer risks to surrounding communities.
• Revising cancer risk assessments: The EPA's Office of Inspector General found that the Trump-era EPA ignored its own guidelines when it downgraded the cancer risk assessment for the pesticide 1,3-Dichloropropene (1,3-D). This decision allowed for greater use of the chemical in agricultural areas, potentially increasing exposure for farmworkers and nearby communities.
• Weakening mercury and air toxics standards: The administration proposed overturning standards that limit toxic pollution from coal plants, which are a major source of mercury.
• Canceling pollution reduction incentives: The administration's cancellation of clean energy incentives and investments is projected to increase air pollution, including from coal and gas-fired power plants, which increases avoidable cancer risks.
• Pulling back on toxic chemical regulation: The administration reportedly halted bans on toxic chemicals and delayed action on others, including trichloroethylene (TCE), a known carcinogen found in drinking water.

I hadn't thought about it, but now that I do I'd lay odds you are correct.

Lies, as expected form you.

Contradictions is all you got, why is that. Why did you support spending trillions on green energy global warming when we could of found a cure for cancer

Educated Eunuchs

Billions have already been wasted on a gaggle of brain-drained robotic wimps, who never get blamed for their absolute and disgraceful failure to find a cure for cancer.

How can we expect to cure cancer if we can even figure out cancer’s pronouns?
