Exactly!
Does anyone believe that the American Cancer Society has any vested interest in finding a cure for cancer? No way.
Actually, it’s even worse than that. When is the last time you saw a blaring headline about some disease actually being cured? There are lots of headlines about some “promising” line of research that “might” one day lead to a cure, but I can remember exactly ZERO such announcements of a real cure of a real disease. People are staring to catch on so that many medical charities no longer promise a “cure”, but rather your contribution is used for research and “awareness.”
There are serious problems with the economics of drug development and production. But to claim that cancer researchers and pharma don’t want to cure cancer is disingenuous. They have been doing a pretty good job over the last twenty years. Specifically, death rates have dropped by more than 30% for colorectal cancer, breast cancer in women, and lung cancer in men, and by more than 40% for prostate cancer. Those are real, dramatic reductions in cancer deaths and are mostly attributed to two things - reduced smoking and BETTER TREATMENTS.
