In a shocking revelation that has left many Americans questioning the integrity of one of the nation’s most prominent political families, tax filings have exposed that the Biden Cancer Initiative, a charity founded by Joe and Jill Biden, spent millions on staff salaries and lavish expenses while distributing zero dollars toward cancer research. This scandal, first reported by The New York Post and corroborated by DailyMail.com, raises serious concerns about the misuse of charitable funds and the ethical standards of those entrusted with the public’s trust.
A noble mission, a questionable execution
The Biden Cancer Initiative was launched in 2017 with a lofty mission: to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care, and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes.” The charity was established in the wake of Beau Biden’s tragic death from brain cancer in 2015, a deeply personal loss for the Biden family. At the time, the initiative was heralded as a beacon of hope for cancer patients and their families, promising to deliver “urgent” solutions to a disease that claims hundreds of thousands of lives annually.
However, tax filings from 2017 and 2018 reveal a starkly different reality. The charity raised 4,809,619 in contributions during its first two years but allocated not a single dollar toward research grants. Instead, the bulk of the funds — $3,070,301 — was spent on staff salaries, with top executives raking in six-figure paychecks. Gregory Simon, the charity’s president and a former Pfizer executive, pocketed $429,850 in 2018 alone, nearly double his 2017 salary of $224,539. Danielle Carnival, former chief of staff for Obama’s Cancer Moonshot Task Force, took home $258,207 in 2018.
Lavish spending, zero accountability
The charity’s spending habits raise further red flags. In 2018, the Biden Cancer Initiative spent $97,149 on travel and a staggering $742,953 on conferences. These expenses, combined with the exorbitant salaries, paint a picture of an organization more focused on self-enrichment than on fulfilling its stated mission. While the charity claimed its primary goal was to accelerate cancer treatment accessibility rather than fund research, the lack of tangible outcomes and the absence of grants distributed to researchers or institutions undermine its credibility.
