    They don’t actually care about curing cancer, they just use it to justify their existence. If they did cure cancer they’d hide it or figure out how to monetize the fuck out of it.

      Reminds me of a two sentence horror I read a few years back:

      “I wish there was a cure for cancer!”

      “Why waste your wish on something that already exists?”

      The world’a leading oncologist lives in Cuba, and the American terrorist regime is happy to let him die there with the rest of their people and culture. Pharma execs are still sneaking into the island to interview him though. I think he did make a lung cancer vaccine recently.

      Well, here’s the thing, you can’t cure cancer. Cancer is just a type of a many different things, all requiring very different avenues of potential “cure”.

      To cure cancer, like it’s a singular, is like the DNA equivalent of “finding the cure for mental illness”.

      So whenever you hear it on the forefront of something, you know it’s bullshit narrative.

      I’ve had multiple marketing and finance professors say in class that curing cancers will destroy a multi-trillion dollar industry, the people benefiting don’t want that.

        Wow.

        Does your whole account just exist to make shit comments (like setting up a strawman arguments you can knockdown like above) and getting downvoted?

        What a sad existence.
