    No. But I figure that many of the causes are being suppressed or greatly downplayed and cancer rates are likely much much higher than they need be.
    well yeah. but thats because of corporate interest coming from those who's products are causing it, not because medical researches arent giving an honest effort

    as recently as the 90's you had the CEOs of all the big tobacco companies testify before congress under oath that nicotine was not addictive.



    then it was discovered through internal do ents that these companies KNEW going back to the 70s that their products were addictive but also caused cancer

    Spurtacular and that same principle isn't limited to just tobacco/cancer type stuff

    Exxon Knew about Climate Change almost 40 years ago

    A new investigation shows the oil company understood the science before it became a public issue and spent millions to promote misinformation

    Damn that's a ty diagnosis. I can imagine not being able to do the show when he's undergoing chemo. Is lung cancer still pretty much impossible to find until it's really bad?

    This.

    That, and I don't feel sorry for Rush Limbaugh. I hope he doesn't suffer much, and that is about it.

    He will get some excuse to do all the oxy he wants now tho.

    A friend had a tumor near his eso us so it was impeding his breathing and that alerted him to a problem. It was cancerous, and he underwent chemo/rad for a few months. The tumor shrunk and he's now about to start the immuno part (a year of immunotherapy).

    He was grade 5. I was unable to find anything solid about that diagnosis. He seems a lot better now. We'll see. Another friend has bladder cancer, stage 4. He's ed.

    "In 2018, Forbes listed his earnings at $84.5 million,

    up slightly from 2017 when he was ranked as the 11th highest-earning celebrity.

    In 2015, Talkers Magazine estimated that Limbaugh's show attracted a ulative weekly audience of 13.25 million listeners

    to become the most-listened-to radio show in the US."

    There was a point in dubya/ head's first term where RL was basically dictating to Repugs who wouldn't dare contradict him.

    There's a blood test called EarlyCDT that pretty accurate. Still isn't commonly used though.

    Here are 20 of the most racist things Rush Limbaugh has ever said



    The days of them [minorities] not having any power are over, and they are angry. And they want to use their power as a means of retribution.

    Clyburn’s worried about not having a car? Clyburn’s worried about not having the perk of a big office? A driver? So, forth. The way this could all be worked out, Clyburn’s new position: Driving Miss Nancy. He gets to keep the car. He gets to go everywhere she goes.

    Look it, let me put it to you this way. The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.

    You just gotta be who you are, and I think it’s time to get rid of this whole National Basketball Association. Call it the TBA, the Thug Basketball Association, and stop calling them teams. Call ’em gangs.

    Hu Jintao was just going, “Ching cha. Ching chang cho chow. Cha Chow. Ching Cho. Chi ba ba ba. Kwo kwa kwa kee. Cha ga ga. Ching chee chay. Ching zha bo ba. Chang cha. Chang cho chi che. Cha dee. Ooooh chee bada ba. Jee jee cho ba.” Nobody was translating, but that’s the closest I can get.

    Let’s assume you’re right [caller]. So, David Paterson will become the massa who gets to appoint whoever gets to take Massa’s place. So, for the first time in his life, Paterson’s gonna be a massa. Interesting, interesting.

    Seems that the NAALCP [sic], which is — which equals racism. Forget calling them the NAACP. They are now the R-A-C-I-S-M. NAACP equals racism. And they’re all applauding her [Sherrod] when she’s talking about racism.

    In my mind, there’s nothing wrong with it. I don’t instinctively know what’s wrong with it. There is a language of the ghetto. There is a language of the barrio. And it’s not good.

    “Holocaust?” Ninety million Indians? Only four million left? They all have casinos — what’s to complain about?

    Have you seen, they’ve spotted — they’ve spotted an isolated tribe in Brazil. An airplane flew over this hut, this thatch roof hut or something, and these savages are body painted in red and they’re trying to shoot the airplane down with bows and arrows.

    But our early money is on them [Hispanics] anyway, because these people have shown a remarkable ability, ladies and gentlemen, to cross borders, boundaries — they get anywhere they want to go. They can do it without water for a long time. They don’t get apprehended, and they will do things other people won’t do. So, our money, early money, is on the Hispanics.

    The white tribe, I have to tell you — I don’t have a whole lot of hope in the white tribe. The Asian — the Asian-American tribe probably will outsmart everybody, but will that help them in the ultimate survival contest? Intelligence is one thing, but raw, native understanding of the land and so forth — this is probably why the Native Americans were excluded, because they were at one with the land here, and they probably would have an unfair advantage.
    […]
    You accused me in a sly way of being racist by making comments about who would win the swimming compe ion. I know what you’re saying. You’re saying I’m being racist, you’re saying I’m being racist because I’m saying blacks can’t swim. I have here a story, and I read this from HealthDay news. “One of the largest studies of its kind confirms that young blacks — especially males — are much more likely to drown in pools than whites. In fact, almost half of all recorded drowning deaths among people aged 5 to 24 are among blacks, according to the study in the American Journal of Public Opinion

    Hey, Barack Obama has picked up another endorsement: Halfrican American actress Halle Berry. “As a Halfrican American, I am honored to have Ms. Berry’s support, as well as the support of other Halfrican Americans,” Obama said. He didn’t say it, but — anyway, there are those out there — greetings.

    So clearly, it is a — I mean, it’s just remarkable to continue to witness the actual racism that exists on the left, using the term “Magic Negro” to apply to you white people who are supporting Obama. Singing a song in my head here during the break: “Barack, the Magic Negro, doo doo do doo.” Uh-oh, Dawn’s shaking her head on that. What are you saying, if I do that, I then will own the term, because I will be taking it above and beyond how it’s been used? Well, that’s what we always do here. We do parodies and satires on the idiocy and the phoniness of the left.

    When he goes off the teleprompter, he is a different guy. He does not come off as the messiah, he doesn’t come off as this great unifier. He has trouble articulating with a bunch of stutters and pauses and so forth. So — but my point in telling you this is that there must be real animosity toward the Clintons at high levels of this party. To go with a veritable rookie whose only chance of winning is that he’s black.

    Obama’s America, white kids getting beat up on school buses now. I mean, you put your kids on a school bus, you expect safety. But in Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering “Yay! Right on, right on, right on, right on.”

    What they don’t know is that Obama’s entire economic program is reparations. If I were [Al] Sharpton, if I’d been guest-hosting Sharpton’s show and I got a call like that, somebody complaining, I’d say “Hey hey hey, shhh. Let me tell you the truth here. Everything in the stimulus plan, every plan he’s got is reparations.”

    I share all this with you because it is — she’s nailed who the guy is. Americans look at Obama and they say, “Oh, the first black president,” and they go, “Oh, we’re shedding some of our guilt here. Look how enlightened we are, what a great country we are,” when, in fact, we’ve elected somebody who’s more African in his roots than he is American, loves his father, who was a Marxist, and is behaving like an African colonial despot.

    When Clarence Thomas said uppity black thinks for himself means he’s off the reservation, so to speak. He’s not following the civil rights speech codes set forth by the Reverend Jackson and Al Sharpton and whoever else is in charge of them. But nobody — Obama is uppity, but not as a black. He is an elitist. He does think he’s smarter and better than everybody else. That’s what he was taught. He’s a Harvard man.

    There’s rioting in the streets now! And there’s going to be more rioting in the streets because that’s part of the program here. And next up there are going to be race riots, I guarantee it. Race riots are part of the plan that this regime has. That’s next.
