Why do many people believe Biden can stop a world-wide plague and how the heck could a person do it?

Asked by Aster (20023points) November 2nd, 2020

He’s doing well in the polls and I believe the main reason is he promises to stop Covid 19 and cure cancer. How can he do either?

If everyone would follow the scientists and doctors and social distance and wear masks, Covid cases would be dramatically reduced until a vaccine is available. Biden knows this and will do his best to get it under control. trump makes fun of those that wear masks or social distance.
Cancer is a broad term as there are too many different cancers to come up with one cure. It won’t happen for years to come, if ever.

I don’t believe he ever claimed he could cure cancer.

I think Biden could cure a “bad comb-over” and orange make-up !

Maybe I’m just optimistic.

trump vows to cure cancer and eradicate aids

WTF that is not The Onion. What a freak.

I don’t know who believes that. Maybe it’s unfair to Joe, but I think what most people want him to do is not be Trump.

Biden would have never gotten my vote if he had been running against anyone other than trump. I don’t care what his mouth promises, he can’t lie any worse than trump has. I don’t think Biden can cure Covid; however, I think that he will try to defeat it by listening to the experts and not by pretending that it doesn’t exist

He lost a son to cancer. Lots of people who lose loved ones to cancer promise or swear to cure it. This is hardly something new (hell, the Susan G. Koman Foundation has been operating on that promise for decades). That’s not really something that can be held against him, in my view.

I don’t think Biden will be a great President, but he won’t be a big pile of dog shit baiting a bear trap.

Listening to scientists and the data will be at least a start in the right direction.

So I guess you guys are hoping to have Kamala Harris as President? So strange to me. I want a “Where’s Hunter?” tee shirt.

^^ To answer your snark with snark, I’d take a fucking refrigerator as President now.

(And by the way, we know exactly where Ivanka, Jared, Donald Jr and Eric are so the high moral plane is not on your side.)

I would be happy to have Kamala Harris as president. What’s the problem with that?

anniereborn's avatar

@Aster What are you on about?

Aster's avatar

What am I on about ? ? I cant answer the question. But I like your other responses.

@Aster “So I guess you guys are hoping to have Kamala Harris as President? So strange to me. I want a “Where’s Hunter?” tee shirt.”

Why do you say we are hoping to have Kamala as President. And why would you want a Hunter tee shirt ?

Aster's avatar

I’ll answer one of those questions: I sense and believe that having Harris as POTUS would be fine with you guys. And that’s ok. Some people disagree.

chyna's avatar

But it’s Biden that’s running for president.

Call_Me_Jay's avatar

1) VPs often run for president

2) Biden is old enough that we have to think about a one-term (or less) incumbency.

SEKA's avatar

What’s wrong with Kamala? We’ve had worse and survived. Actually, I think she’d make a better prez than Joe, She speaks much more intelligently than mike

jca2's avatar

In my opinion, many of the White Supremacists don’t like that Kamala is black.

JLeslie's avatar

They don’t like she’s Black and they are saying Black Obama is in control of Biden. Obama always wanted to be a socialist Dictator who would never leave.

Biden can restore funding to the World Health organisation (W.H.O.).

He could pay for vaccines for poorer countries to help to eradicate Covid-19.

@RedDeerGuy1 Just like smallpox shots for the world!
