Jill Biden Predicts Wave Of Cancer Diagnoses After COVID-19

Beau Biden, President Joe Biden's son, passed away from brain cancer seven years ago. Now, Jill Biden is predicting a wave of cancer diagnoses after COVID-19.

As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, First Lady Jill Biden warned on Monday night that there will be a rise in cancer diagnoses.

Biden did not specify a rationale for the increase in cancer diagnoses, but she did note that the pandemic prevented many individuals from getting routine medical checks. The first lady urged people to make up for missed cancer exams.

Speaking to Newsmax, Biden said that “people are going back” to doctors “and they’re realizing, ‘Gosh, I forgot to get my colonoscopy; I didn’t get my mammogram; I didn’t get my skin screening.”

“I think in the next couple of months you’re going to see more cancers,” added the first lady. “It’s not a red issue, a blue issue,” Jill Biden added. “Cancer affects every American.”
