Joe Biden was the president of the United States!

Why on earth was he not diagnosed earlier, before the #cancer had spread?

In fact, we should ask this question about any male over 40.

We have the means to do this. And it starts with just a simple blood test called a PSA.

Prostate cancer experts say that former President Biden’s diagnosis is serious. Announced by his office, the cancer has spread to his bones. While prognoses for prostate cancer patients were once measured in months, experts say that advances in treatment and diagnosis now improve survival by years.

This is exactly what early detection with a simple #PSA blood test aims to prevent - spread to bones.

In the last interview of his life (1996), astronomer Carl Sagan gave an eerily prescient warning of the dangers that come when you cannot ask skeptical scientific questions of those in authority. Watch and ask yourself: was he right?
