US rejects Hugo Chavez remarks on Latin America leaders getting cancer
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-16359062
The US has rejected comments by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, in which he questioned whether the US might be responsible for cancers affecting Latin American leaders.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland called the comments “horrific and reprehensible”.
She said they were not worthy of further response.
On Wednesday Mr Chavez said it was “very strange” that he and other leftist leaders had all had cancer.
But he said he was thinking out loud and not making “rash accusations”.
Mr Chavez – who had cancer treatment in Cuba this year – was speaking a day after it was announced that Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner also had the disease.
Fernando Lugo of Paraguay, Dilma Rousseff of Brazil and her predecessor Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva have also had cancer.
Mr Chavez said the instances of cancer among Latin American leaders were “difficult to explain using the law of probabilities”.
“Would it be strange if they had developed the technology to induce cancer and nobody knew about it?” Mr Chavez asked in a televised speech to soldiers at an army base.
The Venezuelan leader, 57, says he is now free of cancer after having surgery and chemotherapy in Cuba earlier this year.
The exact details of his illness have not been made public, fuelling speculation that his condition may be worse than he has let on.
Argentina’s Cristina Fernandez, 58, is due to have surgery for thyroid cancer on 4 January. Doctors say her prognosis is very good.
Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff, 64, is fully recovered after having treatment for lymphoma in 2009.
Her predecessor, Lula da Silva, 66, is currently having treatment for throat cancer. Doctors say he is responding well and should make a full recovery.
Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo, 60, was diagnosed with lymphoma in August 2010 but is now in remission after chemotherapy.

There were some really interesting comments over at RT today about this.
Here is one: John (unregistered) December 29, 2011, 03:58 quote
“Contrary to common knowledge (common ignorance), cancer CAN BE DELIBERATELY INDUCED.This is not some speculative conspiracy theory, its a scientific fact.Numerous cancer’s are caused by viral infections (just google Oncovirus). It would take a minimal amount of research to find ways to stabilize and weaponize such a pathogen.
I would be surprised if the US hasn’t done this already.Chavez’ (a democratically elected leader, for all the ignorant out there that do not know this), suspicions are absolutely reasonable.
In a time were Latin America is escaping the brutal grip of the US, and the later can’t simply bomb them into obedience:Castro got cancerChavez got cancerLula got cancerDilma got cancerLugo got cancerKirchner got cancer
WHAT ARE THE ODDS?????”
Good comments.
Washington is the cancer

Great! Now Hugo Chavez is saying the United States conspired to give him cancer! Now what are we gonna do? « The Alliance for an "Idiot-Free" America said this on December 31, 2011 at 5:45 pm |
I don’t understand the apparent incongreuncies here…I thought most of the world’s ruling political elite…were a cancer.
