Did Joe Bayden say that cancer won the USA?

At the end of July 2023, the US President’s quote dispersed on the Internet that oncological diseases in the country are over. We decided to check if he really said something like that.

The media reported this high -profile statement (for example, "Russian newspaper","Russia 24" And "Tsargrad") And informational Portals. Social networks (""VKontakte" Twitter), who spread the news, ridiculed the American president. Popular posts about this in Telegram channels became popular Vladtude (221,000 views at the time of writing this analysis), ""KB"(208 000),"Bullet"(142 000). Reposted publications dedicated to Biden's statement about the victory over cancer, TV presenters Vladimir Solovyov (215,000) and Ruslan Ostashko (115,000). 

The earliest Russian-language publication that Biden allegedly announced the victory over cancer, which “verified” was found, appeared on July 25, 2023 at 23:09 Moscow time in the Telegram channel “RIA Novosti: USA". It says: “Biden said that in the USA they put an end to cancer. The president did not reveal details about the panacea from cancer, ”and Biden also gives a 12-second fragment of Biden's speech. Moreover, in the English -language segment of the Internet, the first messages This sensational statement appeared even earlier. Note that, despite the name, this Telegram channel is not mentioned on the official website of the Russian news agency among its accounts in social networks, therefore, apparently, it has no formal attitude to RIA Novosti. 

On July 25, 2023, the American president really performed in the White House - his speech was dedicated to expanding access to psychiatric care in the United States. A fragment that scattered through social networks and the media was not edited, this is a real excerpt from Biden's speech, which Layd On the White House YouTube channel. Subtitles added to the video, as well as the transcript of the performance, published on Official website, do not leave space for fantasies about what Biden really had in mind. A fragment of cancer can be translated as follows: “One of the questions that they constantly ask me: why did the Americans seem to have lost faith that they are able to do great things? "If you could do anything, Joe, what would you do?" I said: "I would have cured cancer." And they to me: "Why cancer?" Because no one believes that we can. That's why. And we can. We can end the cancer as we know him. ” 

The American president really has some Problems With diction, so sometimes his speech does not sound quite intelligible. So, for example, at the end of the analyzed fragment, Biden says: “We can end cancer” (that is, “we can end cancer”), but due to the distortion of the microphone and pronunciation features, these words can be heard as “we ended cancer” (“We have finished with cancer”). However, in the context of the fact that we are talking about a hypothetical situation when the president is asked what he would (obviously, we are talking about the future of time), if he could, it is clear that Bayden does not speak of his merits, but about plans for the future. In addition, right in front of this phrase, he repeats several times: “No one believes that we can”, “We can.” These phrases would be meaningless if Baiden spoke of something that had already happened. 

In addition, just before the words that came to the video that dispersed through the media and social networks, Biden says: “In the last two messages to Congress, I outlined what I call the agenda of unity. It consists of four big things that we are going to do together as a nation. ” Victory over cancer is one of these big goals. Three others - help to veterans, the fight against opioid epidemic And overcoming the crisis of mental health (this topic was mainly devoted to the speech of the US president). 

Policy quotes are often pulled out of context to put it in a negative way. So, “verified” has already denied reports about recognition Biden, as if he had sold many state secrets, oh racist jokes From his mouth and about call vote for Trump. There are also cases when the video is edited to put the American leader crazy - for example, when Internet users claimed that he was supposedly He sniffed the child At a public event, and later it turned out that the sound of sniffing was imposed in the video editor. In this case, we are not talking about the editing, but Biden’s words are incorrectly interpreted, and even on that 12-second fragment, which was dispersed in social networks and the media, it is obvious that the president’s ambitious plans for the future, and not at all about achievements to the present moment.
