I’m honestly surprised this is still available.

In 2022, President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden reignited the Cancer Moonshot and set two bold but achievable goals—to cut the cancer death rate by at least half by 2047, preventing more than four million cancer deaths, and to improve the experience of people living with and surviving cancer. The Biden-Harris Administration, thanks to the leadership of the President and First Lady, has made tremendous progress in cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and care. This progress includes more than 125 new government actions and new commitments from more than 250 companies, nonprofits, academic institutions, and patient groups.
