A real doctor would not be able to say that publicly, without violating HIPAA

If you read the article, he's speculating.

So an extremely misleading headline, then.

[–] realcaseyrollins@narwhal.city 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Extremely no, but yeah it really should say "speculates" or "estimates" rather than "says" because if you take it at face value it does sound like it's saying the doctor saw Biden's cancer while working with him.

Yes, extremely. It changes the entire meaning of the headline, giving it authority it doesn't rightly have, as NYPost intentionally does. Trash source

Nobody is going to get the truth and who cares anyway. Leave the guy alone. We have a new group of liars running things now.
