You say yourself, that cancer is an "insidious disease." You should have stopped right there.
I'm a survivor myself, partly because of targeted cancer treatments developed by pharmaceutical companies. Cancer treatment today is significantly more advanced than when Nixon was in office. Patients have more options and those options come with fewer devastating side effects.
This post should be to honor Toby Kieth and his life--you didn't need to take a swipe at pharmaceutical companies.
Cancer cannot be “cured”. It can only be suppressed or slowed down by surgery or chemo or immunotherapy. When your body has lost ability to recognize cancer cells and kill them, cancer will always come back given enough time. Cancer cells are your own cells with faulty DNA. There is no way to find billions of cancer cells in body by artificial means and kill them.
“..Cancer is an insidious disease. Since Nixon announced his war on cancer, we’ve poured billions of dollars into cancer research and “treatments .” Pharmaceutical companies have been enriched while the rates of many types of cancers have risen...”
It is a very insidious disease.
ALWAYS follow the money trail though.
Big Pharma would rather “treat” a disease ($$$$$$) for the rest of one’s remaining life than to “cure” a disease ($$).
And IF the truth were to be known that they’ve held back the cure from the “unwashed masses”, except for some very special elites, it will suck to be them come Judgement Day.
