In reply to the discussion: Venezuela to probe Chavez cancer poisoning accusation [View all]reorg
(3,317 posts)but I am not aware of any "allegation".
Maduro gave expression to a gut feeling, it has also been mentioned that at some point there was an "intuition", Chavez said something to the effect that it almost seemed as if someone was doing it on purpose when he, and several other progressive leaders in LA within a relative short period of time were diagnosed with cancer.
Given what you have already admitted, that certain states would probably do it if they could, such a gut feeling or intuition is just a natural reaction. If any suspicion of interference can safely be ruled out, a scientific investigation will surely make such reassuring findings public.
No need to speculate at this point without being privy to specific information. You don't know what kind of cancer he had, you don't know if there was "a single incident" or possibly many over a longer period of time during which he could have been exposed to something. I believe cancer research is a complex field and I doubt you have any particular expertise beyond what is commonly known, given what you have presented so far.
