Sad to see taken away by cancer
Yesterday’s news included one very sad announcement. The Times of India ran the story headlined, “'I expect to die this summer': Cartoonist Scott Adams reveals prostate cancer diagnosis, same as Joe Biden.” From the start of the pandemic, beloved ‘Dilbert’ creator, author, intellectual, and popular conservative commentator Scott Adams, 67, was a massive vaccine fan. He loved the jabs— until one day, he suddenly didn’t. In early 2023, Scott completely changed his mind and issued a remarkable public mea culpa. Maybe now we know why.
Scott’s turnaround happened so fast that his whiteboard packed with dense pro-vaccine logic still sat right behind him when it happened. “The thing unvaxxed are not worrying about,” Scott said at the time, “is what I have to worry about, which is: I wonder about that vaccination in five years from now.’” Addressing the unvaccinated, Scott forthrightly admitted, “Well, you won. You won completely. I did not end up in the right place. You should take victory, and I should take defeat. All of my fancy analytics got me to a bad place.”
Two years later, during yesterday’s regular show, Scott told viewers (2:06), “I have the same cancer Joe Biden has. So, I also have prostate cancer, which has also spread to my bones.” Things are, tragically, not going well. “I am always in pain,” he confessed. “I use a walker to get around. And I expect to die this summer.”
Scott added, to be perfectly clear: “the pain is intolerable.”
He didn’t say when he was diagnosed, only that it had been “longer than Biden” and that he “had time to process it.” Nothing lasts forever, he reminded viewers. Nothing.
It was a stark contrast between how the two men, Adams and Biden, both public figures, handled announcing their cancer.
And, before you ask, Scott said he’d tried fenbenzadole and ivermectin.
So, to be clear, we don’t know whether Scott’s cancer first appeared after his jabs, or maybe it was made worse by the shots. Scott himself did not mention the shots yesterday. Maybe now that he’s ripped off the cancer bandage, he’ll provide more detail. I hope he will, but I wouldn’t dare to ask.
Still, it’s hard not to suspect that he went public yesterday after Biden’s big cancer reveal to emphasize the link.
Either way, Scott’s 2023 apology video now feels eerily prescient. Right on the heels of the president who mandated the shots, Scott —with the exact same cancer!— has become the latest celebrity who hawked the shots and now has terminal cancer or another common type of jab injury. Scott’s mistake, as he pointed out in his 2023 video, was trusting the government too much.
We are praying for Scott, his family, and his fans. I pray hardest that he will find his way to an HR-department-free office in Heaven.
The term "先生", read xiansheng in Chinese, sensei in Japanese, seonsaeng in Korean, and tiên sinh in Vietnamese, is an honorific used in the Sinosphere. The term literally means "person born before another" or "one who comes before".
Kulak, I don't get it.
