Megyn Kelly And Dr. David Samadi Question Biden Cancer Timeline In Viral Discussion

Discussions about the timeline regarding President Biden‘s latest cancer diagnosis have risen to the occasion, the two citing several alleged contradictions in the official statement of the White House. This conversation has gone viral, hinging on two key words suggesting that at least, the President might have had some knowledge of this condition prior to its disclosure.

The issue stemmed from the release of a statement from the family saying the cancer “appears to be hormone sensitive, which allows for effective management.” This very statement was challenged right away by Dr. Samadi, who is a famous urologist: “How could all this be decided so quickly? If he was just diagnosed a week ago with a prostate nodule, and within that same week they did the biopsy and got the results, how could they possibly know all this staging information already?” he asked. “You have to give injections and see if the patient responds. We don’t even know what his PSA levels are. The story doesn’t make any sense.”

Kelly shared his suspicion that this choice of words meant the White House had more time to evaluate the case than they were led to believe. However, it is widely accepted among medical experts that hormone sensitivity is almost always determined in prostate cancer by watching PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels over a period of time rather than by this manner of biopsy that takes about a week.

The comments section seemed to erupt, keeping up the skepticism about the official explanation presented. One user named ronslik summed up this popular sentiment: “That whole administration was a ball of confusion wrapped up in lies.” Lisa_holzhauer called it a circus, while gsd_josephina sarcastically adduces the unfortunate timing as “distraction from the Hur tapes,” meaning the recent controversial Biden-Hur scandal recordings.

Further still, pattycakes5881 responded: “A simple blood test detects the cancer. PSA counts in the blood can indicate severity. They knew. For a long time, they knew.” A reply followed, commenting on Jill Biden’s medical credentials, a line of conversation which fast veered off the concerns at hand, heading into personal attacks.

Though, this sort of disbelief and outrage are not limited to non-expert citizens. Medical professionals had doubted how the White House, within such an uncharacteristically short period, could make the assertion of the cancer’s hormone sensitivity without the usual monitoring over weeks. Standard prostate malignancy treatment measures include various tests being carried out over a span to decide on patient treatment options, which, to admit, makes the rather rapid diagnosis and treatment plan seem a little suspicious in the mold of orthodox medical practice.

This is certainly not the first time controversies have begot disclosures about the president’s health. A whole air of skepticism full of questions about transparency has hovered since his alleged stutter was first pounced upon as “cognitive decline,” now onto this cancer timeline; the administration still insists they have been transparent, but such events lend to the skepticism wherever possible.

What sets apart the situation is that a fore eminent medical professional such as Samadi openly questioned the said narrative. When a physician has doubts regarding an official version, the public tends to actually pay attention to those concerns than if it was just a regular talking head. The entire thing, obviously, strikes a very raw cord, garnering thousands of engagements over social media.

Some of the matters will likely be raised frequently in the meanwhile, feeding into the broader dialogue about transparency on the part of the Biden administration. Still, whether this is going to become a full-blown scandal is yet to be seen.
