A new type of immune cell which kills most cancers has been discovered by accident by British scientists, in a finding which could herald a major breakthrough in treatment. Researchers at Cardiff University were analysing blood from a bank in Wales, looking for immune cells that could fight bacteria, when they found an entirely new type of T-cell.

Perpetual unsatisfied greed is a fact of human nature... just is...

And the desire to live is also a fact of human nature. Do you know any cancer researchers? I do, and your assertion that they’d rather make money than discover a cure is absurd.

Oh no, the researchers fully believe in what they are doing. The huge corporations who own it all do not. All they care about is money. Would they bury something like this if they could? Absolutely, and it has probably been done many times already.

Most of the researchers I know are funded by government grants, not corporations. Most researchers in other countries are not funded by corporations. And why would those corporations who do spend millions on cancer research do so if they “only care about money”? You think it’s just some enormously expensive PR stunt? You don’t think any corporation who finds a cure for cancer would make more money than they could count?

Well yes of course I was responding to the cynical post that asserted money interests would suppress a cure..as if.

Then the corporations buy it and kill it. There would be no need for their products or even the health industry and infrastructure if there was nothing left to treat.

“You think it’s just some enormously expensive PR stunt?”

Yes I do, Their proposed “intentions” are disingenuous. Just like the MIC, Peace is not profitable either. Greed supersedes human life.

Truly bizarre. And of course there would be “nothing left to treat” if a cancer cure were found. Also bizarre. Tiresome...adios.

You will figure out the reality someday... Just follow the money. Good afternoon to you then...

If it works, we can expect it to cost $750,000.
