President Joe Biden skewered for saying he effectively 'ended cancer as we know it' President Biden was shredded on social media Tuesday after saying his administration has effectively "ended cancer as we know it." Biden made the eyebrow-raising comment during a speech about expanding access to mental health care at the White House, where he discussed his commitment to tackling the nation’s mental health crisis as part of his "unity agenda." "One of the things I'm always asked is why Americans have sort of lost faith for a while in being able to do big things. If you could do anything at all, Joe, what would you do? I said I'd cure cancer. They looked at me like, why cancer? Because no one thinks we can. That's why, and we can. We ended cancer as we know it," the president said. _______________________ Biden's poor academic record shows he never had a surplusage of brain cells, but he has slipped to a level just above a vegetable.
