    Let me add my voice to all of those making a barely audible noise of shock as their eyes pop out of their heads like in a cartoon and their jaws hit the floor after watching this ad.

    This ad has to have the biggest wow moment of any political ad I’ve ever seen

    I don't expect patients to get paid. But I think brings up a great point re: the MSKCC controversy. If I'm a patient, I want ACCESS to my data as a bare minimum. I know that as a patient I often don't get it.

    Replying to @charlesornstein @sloan_kettering and 2 others
    Any plans to pay the patients who essentially donated their data? Well I guess they didn't charge them like does! But then again I doubt MSK gave them any access to their pathology data!

    Joe Biden: you all don't share well. You don't play well in the sandbox. NEJM editor accused me of encouraging 'data parasites.' But why don't we share more? We can.

    Joe Biden: the last thing they tried for Beau was a virus injection direct into the brain. Are you crazy, I thought? But it was to recruit the immune system. A nice layman's explanation of oncolytic virus therapy

    Richard Schilsky of says we need to think less about getting the patient to travel to the trial and more about devices that bring the trial to the patient. If Amazon drones can deliver packages, we can monitor patients remotely.

    . says we can't just put EHRs together and then cures will magically fall out. Building big databases not the answer. We have to start with the queries researchers want to ask, and then build, working backwards.

    Biden focusing not on high drug costs, but high out-of-pocket costs, which reflects on insurers as much as drug companies. I think this is fair, but I'm sure it makes happy.

    Biden talking about a program to sequence patients with cancer that he says is identifying a potential treatment 98% of the time. That sounds high. Does anybody know about this one?

    "This si the American spirit it sounds corny but it is," Biden says. Not being afraid of cancer, but working together to change things.

    The Joe Biden shout, where he leans into the mic and starts to shout, is really an amazing thing. He stats gesturing with his right hand and you can't not open your ears.

    Biden: "in the first years of my career people would want to talk to me about everything from civil rights to human rights, now everywhere I go, this is not hyperbole, the first thing that everybody wants to talk about, the first thing, is cancer."

    Biden says the "Cancer Moonshot" went from a goal to an international movement that has done something remarkable in his life, and in Jill Biden's life.

    Joe Biden takes the stage at and takes the opportunity to talk about the need to respect women -- an oblique reference to D.C. "Women hold up half the sky," he says.
