22. Please point out where I said, it even implied, he knows nothing.

For that matter, please point out anything he said that supports your assertion that it is NOT the beginning of the end. Because your statement was an absolute, what you need to find is an assertion that no one dies from prostate cancer. Or if you can't find that, at least point to a statement he made that implies the death rate is less than 43%.

Significant improvements does not mean a 100% cure. Biden may outlive cancer, or he may not. This may - or may not - be the beginning of the end. That statement is based on the reality of living with cancer, and in the midst recent research about prognosis available. (And on the skills I have been forced to develop in reviewing medical literature because members of my family have had an extraordinary number of uncommon and rare conditions for which doctors have no easy answers.)
