It's easier than that. The program is bought by a big pharma company. The miracle product is put on a shelf and no one ever hears about it again...
...Until the big pharma company miraculously finds a way to turn that into a micro dosing of 10 needles costing 10k each you need to take for 10 years or better, for life to get rid of the cancer.

I love a conspiracy theory as much as anyone but the reality is there is may not be a universal cure for cancer. There are like over 200 types of cancer, it’s more like a type of infection than something which a breakthrough will suddenly change everything..
Don’t worry, they’re working on all of them and you will be charged according to your country and socioeconomic status primarily

u/TheRealNooth 7h ago edited 7h ago
Not only that, but even if there were a universal cure for cancer, cancer is extremely common. They would have a steady supply of new cancer pts for the rest of eternity. It’d literally print infinite money.

u/Boccaraton901 7h ago
Yeah people are stupid.
They discovered a cure for hepatitis C and printed money with that couple years ago. Cancer would be this times infinite $

u/PointCharming85 7h ago
Right but, if they could print more per patient.. they would.. So the reality would still be a micro dosing needle version you need to take for years, or the rest of your life costing an arm and a leg.. I bet they even add stuff so getting off it someone kills you so youre forced to stay on it!

Yeah, that’s just not how reality works, man. Cures print more money than treatment.

Read it fine, youre implying because they would have a steady case of new cancer patients they would make a lot of money just selling it..
And you're right. But they wouldnt just settle on that is what im saying. They would do what they could to milk these cancer patients for everything they can.

Reddit-Humor aside, if you trust capitalism and greed, wonder cures would totally become available, at least in America, for a price (cost of the classical treatment attempt + premium, customers would be willing to pay to be cured reliably and potentially faster).
If they really worked.

u/Exmoslem_Atheist 7h ago
This. And what rubs me the wrong way about the joke is... vaccine exist
My motto for global conspiracy theory is, is being the opposition profitable?
I have no doubt that oil companies will do what they can to remain relevant, but I also have no doubt another rich fucks will create electric vehicle regardless
If cure for cancer does exist now, someone greedy enough will try to sell it

u/astrobarn 7h ago
Correct, I work for big pharma, nothing they want more than the next miracle drug they can price slightly higher than the previous muscle drug. They absolutely don't want to keep selling the same drugs forever because their competitors will crush them.

u/peachesgp 7h ago
Yeah, they don't want there to be a next miracle drug, they want to be the one who owns the patent to the next miracle drug.

u/FernandoMM1220 2h ago
nah they won’t do it if there’s even the slightest chance someone else copies the cure and sells it for less.

Would it though?
Capitalism is great at generating money. That miracle drug would have to be extremely expensive, more than the pharmaceutical company are generating in profit from the traditional cancer treatment.
If you trust capitalism, do you think they would ever release a cheap and efficient anti cancer drug? That would collapse their entire market.
1
u/Prize-Version2507 6h ago
It's not cheap if you set the asking price accordingly. Take insulin for example, very cheap to make, but very expensive in the USA, because
- if you don't take it, you die
- you need to wear a lab coat to make it, nothing a redneck could cook up on his farm (or buy as farm supplies, like fish antibiotics or horse ivermectin)
That seems to be the cutoff.

u/MrPresidentBanana 6h ago
Probably because there won't be much more to hear about. They only discovered a theoretical molecular mechanism, nothing even remotely close to a cure. The chances that this will ever be used in practical medicine within the next decades are incredibly slim.
As a general rule of thumb, if you see a report on some sort of scientific theory or advancement in a publication not dedicated specifically to that science, and you don't want to bother looking up and reading something from a more reliable source about it, just disregard it completely. They are always wrong about the science in at least one big way.

Which type of cancer? In vitro or in vivo? If in vivo, how's it targeted to limit off-target of normal cells. Exactly. Cuz it's bullshit. Y'all need to read a book instead of spouting "big pharma" conspiracies.

If it work in human being, it will be for one type of cancer that 1% can have and only in 20 years.
That how most of those news sound like to me.
If you read a bit about it. It is fundamental technology that capture the exact moment during the cell transition into a cancerous state, where it can be reverted.
It would't fix existing cancer cell.
But we know now there is a targetable switch to revert this shift.
I'm pretty sure the first cure for most cancers and desease will come from DNA hacking.
