Daredevil’s stuntman, Robbie Knievel, died early Friday at the age of 60. He was in a hospice in Reno, Nevada, battling pancreatic cancer, which accounts for about 3% of all cancers but about 7% of all cancer deaths in the United States. Pancreatic cancer diagnosis is delayed because the pancreas is located deep in your abdomen, where you can’t see it in selfies. Therefore, the sad news of Knievel’s passing is an opportunity to raise awareness about this terrible cancer that is likely to kill. more than 50,000 other people in 2023. After all, increased awareness could end up saving lives by getting more people diagnosed earlier and raising more funds. For studies to find new tactics for diagnosing and treating pancreatic cancer. Did they try to make anti-vaccination social media accounts instead?Yes, they gave it to you, blame the Covid-19 vaccines.
It’s quite a trick to try to exploit Knievel’s fame in this way. Robbie Knievel, the son of legendary stuntman Robert “Evel” Knievel, actually jumped into the daredevil business early in his life. He started jumping on his motorcycle at the age of 4 and riding his motorcycle at seven. Yes, a seven-year-old on a motorcycle is not something you see every day. This obviously predicted a stunt race in which he would use motorcycles to jump a wide variety of things, from fountains to limousines to the Grand Canyon, setting 20 world records in the process. Robbie Knievel began traveling with his celebrated father at the age of twelve before that, despite each and every one embarking on a solo career. His red, white and blue jumpsuits, reminiscent of the leather jumpsuits his father wore.
While Robbie Knievel’s life is not ordinary, sadly pancreatic cancer is all too common. The American Cancer Society reports that about one in 64 Americans will be diagnosed with this cancer at some point in their lives. That’s a pretty high number if you think about it. So if you were to host a wine and cheese evening “People Who Believe Space Lasers Caused the California Wildfires” with 64 people, on average, at least one of the attendees would be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
The challenge is that such diagnoses don’t have the tendency to occur in the early stages of pancreatic cancer, as you don’t have the tendency to think and look in the mirror at your pancreas every day. Of course, if you see your pancreas in the mirror, consult a doctor as soon as possible. The diagnosis is made by seeing it on ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or positron emission. computed tomography (PET). Definitive diagnosis requires a biopsy of any abnormalities seen in the pancreas. These are not things you can do every day. Your pancreas while plucking your nose hair. There is a blood test for a tumor marker called CA19-9. But it’s not a very reliable screening tool for pancreatic cancer, as you can have pancreatic cancer without having high levels of CA19-9.
People may use the word “silent but deadly” to describe farts. But this actually applies to pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer can grow and spread silently for a while. By the time you notice symptoms such as abdominal pain radiating to your back, loss of appetite, fatigue, unintentional weight loss, yellowing of the skin, or changes in stool or urine color, the cancer has spread beyond the pancreas and reached its complex stages. This can make it very unlikely to surgically remove all of the cancer.
Even when the cancer is still confined to the pancreas, surgery can be difficult. Your pancreas is not like your nose. It is not situated in a convenient and easily available location. Instead, it’s located deep in your abdomen, next to your small intestine, gallbladder, and an organization of primary blood vessels. Only highly trained surgeons can perform the necessary complex procedures. to remove the cancer and parts of adjacent structures and reconnect everything. So, don’t get systems in shape when they claim that all documents are the same. It would be as if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers said all quarterbacks are equal and started with Tom Cruise or Wayne Brady. as a signaler instead of Tom Brady.
Therefore, if social media accounts were to post a notice to help other people after Knievel’s death, it should be to raise awareness about this fatal cancer. This would be to advocate for more investments and studies to expand new tactics to diagnose and treat pancreatic cancer. Although many other people succumb to this cancer each year, much more money is still spent on finding new tactics for taking and sharing selfies and making videos like Mars Needs Moms.
Yet again, anti-vaccination accounts seek to deflect valuable discussions about genuine fitness issues by unsubstantiated claims. For example, a Twitter account with a verified blue checkmark read: “Very imaginable vaccines/boosters ruptured his pancreas and caused cancer. Yes, it is very imaginable that this is full of beeps. Another account asked about Knievel: “Was he another victim of the #Vacuna #Covid alias #DeathJab ?????”Umm, if more than 262 million people in the United States have already gained at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, what can you call the vaccine #DeathJab?
Yes, this is the same old strategy that anti-vaccination accounts have been using lately, as noted here by Resistance activists on Twitter and brothers Brian and Ed Krassenstein:
From Twitter
Those with anti-vaccine systems have continued to jump on facts and clinical evidence. If something is not done to combat this scourge of incorrect information and incorrect information that has inflamed society and is being done through politicians and TV/radio/podcasting personalities, our society will soon be heading for a hard landing.
