The Core Cancer Conspiracy: A Deliberate Cover-Up, By Chris Knight (Florida)

The argument that Biden's cancer was covered up hinges on the improbability of missing a Gleason 9 prostate cancer that has metastasised to the bones. Prostate cancer at this stage typically takes years, often 5 to 10, to progress without treatment, especially to reach bone metastasis. Dr. Steven Quay, as cited below, calls it "malpractice" for a patient like Biden, with access to the best doctors, to be diagnosed only in May 2025 with such advanced disease. Dr. Howie Forman, a Yale professor, echoes this, saying it's "inconceivable" that routine screenings, including PSA tests, wouldn't have caught this earlier. Dr. Zeke Emanuel, a former Biden Covid advisor, goes further, asserting Biden likely had the cancer since at least 2021, during his presidency.

The conspiracy suggests that Biden, his physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor, and possibly close aides and family (like Dr. Jill Biden) knew about the diagnosis but hid it to preserve his political viability. This aligns with broader accusations of concealing Biden's health decline, both physical and cognitive, as detailed in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's book Original Sin (Penguin, 2025). The book, published yesterday, claims aides discussed hiding Biden's potential need for a wheelchair, indicating a pattern of obfuscation. Donald Trump Jr.'s posts on X amplify this, questioning how such an advanced cancer could be missed and implying a cover-up, possibly to distract from Biden's cognitive decline.

Medical Implausibility of Missing the Cancer: Prostate cancer is one of the easiest to detect early via PSA tests, which measure prostate-specific antigen levels in the blood. For men over 50, especially someone like Biden under constant medical scrutiny, routine PSA testing is standard. A Gleason 9 cancer with bone metastasis suggests years of progression, as it typically takes 5–7 years to reach this stage without treatment. Dr. Shusterman calls it "unheard of" for someone with Biden's care to miss this, and Dr. Siegel notes that symptoms like urinary issues (which prompted Biden's biopsy) indicate the cancer had already spread. If PSA tests were conducted regularly, as they likely were, an elevated level (above 4–6.5 ng/mL for someone Biden's age) would have triggered MRIs or biopsies much earlier.

History of Health Concealment: The narrative of a cover-up fits with existing claims about Biden's team hiding his cognitive and physical decline. Tapper and Thompson's book details how aides shielded Biden's deteriorating condition, including discussions about a wheelchair post-2024 election. A 2022 video where Biden said, "I have cancer," resurfaced, raising questions about whether he inadvertently revealed something his team later clarified as a misstatement about past skin cancer. This, combined with Dr. O'Connor's February 2024 report declaring Biden "fit to serve," suggests a pattern of downplaying health issues. Critics like Rep. Ronny Jackson have accused O'Connor, described as "like a son" to Jill Biden, of loyalty-driven obfuscation.

Political Motives: Biden's presidency was dogged by questions about his age and fitness, culminating in his withdrawal from the 2024 race after a poor debate performance. Concealing a cancer diagnosis could have been a strategic move to avoid further scrutiny and maintain Democratic Party confidence. The timing of the announcement, post-presidency, after the election, fuels speculation that it was delayed to avoid impacting Kamala Harris's campaign, which some allies blame on Biden's late withdrawal, suggesting the diagnosis was known but hidden to protect Biden's image.

Dr. O'Connor's Role: As Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor was responsible for his medical oversight. His close relationship with the Biden family, including aiding Beau Biden during his brain cancer treatment, raises questions about his objectivity. Critics like Benny Johnson argue that O'Connor's clean bill of health in 2024 was misleading, given the cancer's likely long progression. If O'Connor knew of elevated PSA levels or other indicators, failing to act or report them could be seen as complicity in a cover-up, with broad implications.

Hiding Biden's cancer could have been about maintaining power within his administration. If aides and family knew, they might have prioritised his presidency over transparency, especially given his Cancer Moonshot initiative, which made his health a sensitive political issue.

The timing of the diagnosis could be a deliberate pivot to shift focus from Biden's cognitive issues, which were heavily scrutinised in 2024. The narrative of a tragic health battle might garner sympathy and deflect criticism of his mental fitness.

If true, this cover-up would align with historical precedents of presidents hiding ailments (e.g., FDR's polio, Reagan's Alzheimer's). It raises questions about who else, advisers, family, or even Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi, knew and when.

Given the medical consensus that advanced prostate cancer takes years to develop and is easily detectable, the likelihood of it being missed in Biden's case is low, perhaps 10–20%, accounting for rare cases of fast-progressing cancers or missed PSA spikes. The alternative, a deliberate cover-up, seems more probable. We should not be surprised as politics runs on the fuel of lies.

"Medical experts have declared it 'inconceivable' that former President Joe Biden's 'aggressive' form of prostate cancer was not caught earlier by doctors.

The 82-year-old's office announced the devastating diagnosis on Sunday, saying the cancer had spread to his bones and his family were reviewing treatment options.

His cancer was given a Gleason score of 9 and a Grade Group of 5, a dire stage of the rapidly-spreading disease. The diagnosis came days after doctors found a 'small nodule' on his prostate.

Many officials expressed heartfelt concern for the former president, with Donald Trump saying that he and First Lady Melania wished Biden 'a fast and successful recovery.'

Donald Trump Jr appeared to break the political truce just hours after the announcement.

He questioned if there was a 'coverup' by sharing a screengrab of a post from physician Dr. Steven Quay, who called prostate cancer 'the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases.'

Upon hearing the news, some of America's top doctors also questioned how a former president could be diagnosed with late stage prostate cancer - which can be detected early with routine bloodwork recommended for all men over the age of 50.

'It is inconceivable that this was not being followed before he left the Presidency,' wrote Dr. Howie Forman, a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging, public health management and economics at Yale.

He noted that the test for prostate-specific antigen would have shown he had cancer 'for some time before this diagnosis', given how aggressive it is.

In February 2024, when Biden was the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, his longtime physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor deemed him 'fit to serve' following a routine physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Dr. Forman noted that Biden 'must have had a PSA test numerous times before' and concluded the late-stage diagnosis is 'odd.'

In a follow-up post, the doctor questioned whether Biden had been through screening in the last 12 years and if he 'had a normal PSA prior to [age] 70?'

'It's just so odd to discover this with bone [metastasis] in a man of his stature and [with his] access to care,' Forman concluded.

Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel also seemed confused about how Biden's diagnosis came about.

'This was found by physical examination by a prostate exam,' Siegel said Sunday night. 'A lot of times, we find an elevation in prostate-specific antigen, PSA, and then we go after it.'

He noted that he tests all of his male patients over the age of 45 for the disease.

Once a test comes back for an increased PSA, Siegel said he automatically orders an MRI for the patient, after which a decision is made about whether to conduct a biopsy.

But in Biden's case, doctors only performed a biopsy once he claimed he was experiencing urinary issues - which Siegel said is a sign that the cancer has already spread.

Dr. Howie Forman, a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging, public health management and economics at Yale, said it was 'inconceivable' that Biden's 'aggressive' form of prostate cancer was not caught earlier

Similarly, urologist Dr. David Shusterman said it is 'unheard of' for someone with Biden's stage of cancer to not know about it beforehand and Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel said he was 'taken aback that it's this far advanced'

In the beginning of the disease, patients often do not experience any symptoms, he explained.

'I mean, he must have had the best possible care here,' the doctor said of the White House. 'I'm a little taken aback that it's this far advanced.'

'It would be really surprising if they weren't doing a very close screening on this because everybody knows in the medical community that this is the once cancer in men you really look out for,' Siegel continued.

He added that even though Biden 'doesn't seem to have a lot of risk factors' for the disease - his age makes him more vulnerable.

Similarly, on NewsNation, urologist Dr. David Shusterman said it is 'unheard of' for someone with Biden's stage of cancer to not know about it beforehand.

'It's very unlikely that someone could get annual checkups and not notice,' he said, adding that Biden is a former president who 'had state-of-the-art care.

'It's unusual to hear that someone has prostate cancer when they're annually being followed up,' Shusterman said. 'The fact that we find it at a Gleason 9 is unheard of.'

He went on to claim that the former president 'most likely had it for a long time' noting the aggressive form has to spread over several years.

In the end, Shusterman concluded that there is 'definitely evidence that he knew about this for a while.'

Dr. Quay went even further, declaring online that: 'It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed.'

He explained that prostate cancer is the 'easiest... to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases.'

'For even with the most aggressive form, it is a five to seven year journey without treatment before it becomes metastatic,' Quay asserted.

'Meaning it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and first be diagnosed with metastatic disease in May 2025.'

Trump Jr. shared Dr. Quay's comments and questioned 'How Dr. Jill Biden [missed] stage five metastatic cancer, or is this yet another coverup??'

Initially upon hearing the news, Trump Jr. took to his Instagram story to wish the former president 'a speedy recovery.'

But as night fell, he seemed to question how long Biden may have had the disease.

TikTokker JD Sharp replied to Trump Jr.'s post by claiming the announcement of Biden's diagnosis on Sunday 'is an effort to push the fact that Biden was running the country as a vegetable under the rug.'

'Without question,' he wrote back.

Others also spread the idea that the Biden administration may have covered up his cancer diagnosis - even as he ran for re-election.

'This is the most dangerous cover-up in the history of the presidency,' conservative commentator Benny Johnson wrote on X, pointing to the February 2024 note in which the former president's doctor declared him 'fit to serve.'

'Last summer, White House Physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor swore to the American people that Joe Biden was "completely fit for the presidency" - no issues, nothing to see,' Johnson wrote.

'Advanced prostate cancer takes +10 years to develop to the stage where Biden's diagnosis is. Prostate cancer is also *easy* to find...'

'You're telling me that the best doctors and testing on Earth did not *find* Biden's cancer in all these years of testing?

'Was every medical report a lie? For how long?'

He then went on to assert that those in Biden's White House 'knew. They lied. They hid it. For power.

'People need to be held accountable for this.'

Commentator Tim Young also suggested O'Connor 'needs to be investigated and lose his medical license' while David J Freeman said he should be put under oath.

But other doctors said the fact Biden's cancer was missed was not unusual.

Dr Stuart Fischer told DailyMail.com: 'In some unlucky people it spreads and metastases, almost unique to prostate cancer, to the bones.

'Cancers sometimes elude detection. I'm sure Biden had a PSA [prostate-specific antigen test] done every six months, because he's in that age group

'But sometimes it can be low number - 4 or 5.'

PSA levels are generally measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).

In general, a PSA level above 4.0 ng/mL is considered abnormal and may result in a recommendation for prostate

However, because PSA levels increase with age, some doctors apply a higher cutoff (such as 5 ng/ml) for older men.

Dr Fischer added: 'People can have cancer with 5 and 6 [PSA levels] and for some unlucky people it can metastasize in 10 months. It's a tiny chance but this is a unique cancer.

'For other people it goes very slowly.'

Biden has battled cancer before.

In 1988, the former president had two brain aneurysms that threatened to end his political career.

He also had a lesion removed from his chest in February 2023, and prior to entering office he had several non-melanoma skin cancer spots removed with Mohs surgery.

But towards the end of his presidency, questions over Biden's age, health and fitness plagued his effort to win re-election.

After a disastrous performance in his debate with Trump and in response to growing calls from Democrats to step aside, he ditched his campaign and let then-Vice President Kamala Harris, 60, take over.

Harris allies have blamed her resounding defeat to Trump on Biden delaying his decision not to run for a second term in office.

Democratic leaders have now publicly stated that Biden should not have never considered re-election in 2024.

Critics and even some medical professionals weighed-in on Biden's gait towards the end of his presidency, mentioning his shuffle and his inclination to stumble and even fall completely to the ground.

During a commencement address at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado on June 1, 2023, Biden tripped and fell down while on stage.

A few members of his Secret Service detail rushed to help him back to his feet.

Even when Biden was in the White House his closest advisers were accused of hiding the true scale and speed of his decline.

CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson have detailed the massive cover-up of by Biden's inner circle over four years in their upcoming book.

'Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again' will hit shelves later this week and details the extent of the cover-up.

Tapper and Thompson detail how Biden's deterioration towards the end of his single term was so severe that some aides started to weight whether he needed to use a wheelchair.

The authors claim advisers were privately discussing in 2023 and 2024 the possibility that Biden might need to use a wheelchair if he won reelection – and they were weighing how to hide it until after Election Day in November 2024.

The former president will now likely receive hormone therapy, which seeks to block testosterone production since the hormone can help the cancer to grow and thrive.

There are two types of medications used to treat this advanced stage of prostate cancer - Lupron, which stops testosterone production, and Casodex, which stops testosterone from binding.

Side effects, though, can leave patients feeling fatigued and listless, Siegel said.

However, many prostate cancers eventually develop a resistance to the therapy and continue to grow despite the low androgen levels.

In that case, second-line therapies like chemotherapy, targeted treatments and radiopharmaceuticals may help keep the cancer at bay.

In the meantime, other elected officials have sent Biden their well wishes.

In a statement on X, former President Barack Obama said he and former First Lady Michelle Obama 'are thinking of the entire Biden family.

'Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace,' he said of Biden's Cancer Moonshot initiative to eradicate cancer.

'We pray for a fast and full recovery.'

Harris also took to X to express her thoughts on Biden's diagnosis, saying she and former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff were 'saddened' by the news.

'We are keeping him, Dr. Biden, and their entire family in our hearts and prayers during this time,' Harris wrote on X.

'Joe is a fighter — and I know he will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience, and optimism that have always defined his life and leadership. We are hopeful for a full and speedy recovery.'
