Robbie Knievel Dies After Pancreatic Cancer Battle, Yet Anti ... (Forbes)

Daredevil stunt performer Robbie Knievel died on early Friday morning at the age of 60.

The problem is such diagnoses don’t tend to occur at the early stages of pancreatic cancer since you don’t tend to think about and look at your pancreas in the mirror every day. [claimed](https://twitter.com/lblee58/status/1614002812014432258), “Very possible vaccines/boosters damaged his pancreas and brought on cancer.” Yeah, it’s very possible that this claim is full of bleep. Those with anti-vaccination agendas have continued to jump over the scientific facts and evidence. Therefore, if social media accounts were to post any awareness to help people after Knievel’s death, it should be to raise awareness of this often deadly cancer. The American Cancer Society reports that about one in 64 of all Americans will at some point in their lives be diagnosed with this cancer. Of course, if you do happen to see your pancreas in the mirror, get medical care as soon as possible. Even though so many people succumbed to this cancer each year, so much more money continues to go towards finding new ways to take and share selfies and making movies like “Mars Needs Moms.” Therefore, the sad news of Knievel’s passing is an opportunity to raise more awareness of this awful cancer that will probably kill over 50,000 people again in 2023. [according to the American Cancer Society](https://www.cancer.org/cancer/pancreatic-cancer/about/key-statistics.html). He began jumping his bicycle at the ripe old age of four and riding motorcycles at seven. The diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is often delayed because the pancreas is tucked deep inside your abdomen where you can’t see it on selfies. Daredevil stunt performer Robbie Knievel died on early Friday morning at the age of 60.
