Tapper's book was coming out, and they wanted to detract from the book so they kept it hidden.
That is absolutely bullshit, and the last time President Biden was screened for prostate cancer was over 10 years ago.
They didn't catch it because they refused to look for it. This is a consequence of the idiotic screening policy the US Preventative Task Force came out with years ago. While we wouldn't want to overtreat, it seems that it might be time to rethink the policy about not screening people over 70.

This is why 25% of the American populace believe that President Obama is not an American citizen, and a Muslim, because of all the misinformation that is spewed on social media.
and why too many people falsely believe the crap that this was some kind of coverup.
Worse yet, too many men over seventy believe they shouldn't have a PSA test. If someone doesn't want it, that is fine, but they should be able to have a fully informed decision about it, by giving all the facts.
Unfortunately, I don't have much optimism for the future of our country.

The guidelines of the United States Preventive Services Task Force on prostate cancer screening men over 70 is reckless, and is the reason more older men are being diagnosed with higher grades now.
To recommend that men over 70 do not be screened is wrong.

I just wish that Democrats could unify during elections, because it will be very difficult win unless we do.

Jake Tapper’s hit piece on Joe Biden got more publicity than any book in recent memory thanks to CNN — and still flopped with just 53,737 copies sold in week one.
For comparison: Bob Woodward’s Fear sold 1.1 million in its first week.
Meanwhile, Tapper just posted his lowest-rated month in nearly a decade on CNN, shedding 25% of his audience.
Big hype. No sales. No viewers. No credibility.
You chose poorly, Jake.

(98,883 posts)President Biden hadn't had a PSA test for over a decade. Hell, as a public service message they could have mentioned more.

Someone is buying that garbage, and it wouldn't surprise me if a good number of those buying it are so-called progressives.
