Windmill cancer has been eradicated

Thank you realDonaldTrump MAGA KAG2020

Absolute numbers are higher

Better medicine!

Truly great news.

My best friend just died from cancer so idk where y'all got that false info from...

Government healthcare?

Sorry I don’t believe that!

Be interesting to see Sydney's lung cancer stats after this summer of two-pack-a-day bushfire inhalation....expect a spike in a few years.

Im sure medicine had help , but from what I heard, less smokers less lung cancer.Less death is where the statistics reside. Doctors?

Trump claims credit; says Obama fudged the numbers and should have done more.

Must be the vaping!

cancer have gradually. It is the effort of US healthcare professionals and patients,It's not thanks to President Trump-I'm certainly one of the patients treating cancer on American medicine-I'm grateful🙏

trump has already taken the credit for saving many people from cancer! 😂😂😂😂

That’s awesome but somebody tell Trump he’s not responsible for this

Compare those to childhood cancers 😞

Lies

Since we've made huge strides in early detection & treatment of malignancies any other result would be seriously disturbing.

And no matter what realDonaldTrump says - he did nothing to contribute to this.

Def was the weed

jesus

Thank you, President Trump!!! realDonaldTrump

Hail Trump. 🤔

Brought to you by innovators in new treatments and therapies. Can we afford not to innovate ?

Neil Pearl of Rush just died of cancer. The cancer rates are skyrocketing. The ACS is corrupt.

Total BS. Stop lying to the public. There is a cancer epidemic that is just starting.

Thanks to Trumps 'Right to Try' EO. No one needs Big pharma pumping them with more cancer in the name of a cure.

26 year decline in cancer mortality.🥺😎🤗🤩

I credit the legalization of marijuana.

Science

ABC. Only Our God!(Smiling). Sincerely Shellie

Thank you realDonaldTrump

So does that mean they're just pumping mire pills into people? Sure they're not dying...great! But how is their quality of life?

If Trump Cured Cancer

And yet idiot-in-chief somehow thinks it's because of him...

Thank you president trump!!

Let's wipe out cancer for good!🎗

Trump said he and his administration made it allllllll possible!

Yet Trump takes credit for this

Thank God for capitalism

Lung cancer rates dropped as we became aware of connection w/smoking —some of the most vicious cancers are linked to lifestyle/environmental factors. Some ovarian cancers also linked to talc usage. Leukemia’s linked to viruses in dairy.

Amen amen amen

If “big Pharma” had any compassion and less passion to make money the decrease in cancer victims would be greater!! breastcancersurvivor hopetoirradicatecancer

Yet liver cancer is on the increase in the UK, that and ovarian cancer. Our NHS is pretty limited here when it comes to things like alternative options like stem cell, targeted and immunotherapy's.

I wonder if it had anything to do with the thousands of nukes we tested here in the US out west out in our atmosphere where wind currents then take the radioactive particles so u can breathe them in to stop the spread of the fallout. You're sacrifice shall be honored someday.

Trump is even winning against cancer! Is there anything this President can't do?

Attention hiring managers: Had cancer does not mean has cancer Cured and remission are not synonyms

This should have a lot of likes.

🙏🏼

Percentages can be misleading. The number of cancer cases reported have increased significantly, probably leading for percentages to show declining trend. Can you share absolute numbers?

Fantastic 👍👍

Waiting for Trump to take personal credit for this.
