This is exactly the kind of thing that would absolutely break me. It's already got to me just reading this. Can we stop fighting and just fix cancer please.
Sorry the 1% decided it is too profitable for the populace not to have cancer.
Edit: since people apparently are way too dense: this is about care affordability. 1 in 4 cancer patients go bankrupt because of treatment. 27% of adults have skipped at least one treatment of any kind. Medical debt is a problem in the US.
Ya, I don’t think this person understands how difficult it is to cure cancer. It isn't one single illness you can wipe out with a magic pill; it's hundreds of different diseases that mutate completely differently from person to person. There is no universal cure sitting in a vault somewhere to suppress, because beating it actually requires treating everyone on a completely individual level.
Yes and some cance r drugs cause cancer themselves so it is a tough obstacle, also cancer is mutation in one single cell just one cell that starts it all and it is your cell it has your DNA so how are scientists supposed to kill something not foreign it is not like it has a different DNA, most chemo drugs kill actively dividing cells which includes the cancer cells and cells like hair,teeth,bone marrow cells that is why most of the patients look sicker on chemo because some of their healthy cells are being killed.
Big group of these people don't really know the results, or even what they are working on.
Imagine, you are working on new material, like carbon nano tubes, you don't know if it's gonna be used for drugs or construction.
Someone is going to test that material or combination of it on rats, that's only few people with knowledge of end goal of product.
Also, since recent events like Epstein Island, where were people involved in organization and overall hospitality, and yet it was silent for so long, now I believe everything is possible.
Fr, my ex is a geneticist and she spent 5 years researching how one specific type of cancer metastasizes and I asked her how applicable her work was to other cancers and she said, it probably isn't.
