Polio, TB and smallpox come to mind.

Other than that, I'd say you're probably right.

I don't wear a tin-foil hat, but I have pondered the financial implications of finding "cures" for everything from cancer to the common cold.

Think about it.

Did medicine cure polio? I don't know.

I'm not sure it would be the same type of thing as chronic diseases or terminal diseases like cancer and diabetes.

We have family members with Huntington's Disease. We would love for there to be a "cure" for that. I'm not holding my breath. I wish I were more optimistic.
