More SGI members dying of cancer

I realize cancer is pretty common, but it alarms me that I have heard of so many cases within devout SGI members and leaders, particularly top national leaders. SGI talks about "protection", but their members certainly aren't getting any. Here's the latest:

I have not had much time to practice with my SGI responsibilities. the SGI world band I play in we lost one Sax player in November to cancer. We just lost one of our drummer to cancer saturday, and the piano player has been very ill. Needless to say the band is kind of drifting. Some many of the band members have Chapter or above positions. It has been hard for the guys to come out. We need to start recruiting . Source

Yes, clearly "recruiting" is the only realistic solution when your members are all DYING FROM CANCER!!
