Why bother? Every time they come up with a cure, it gets hidden.

$150 million ????

WTF ever

I know several companies who blew threw that last year.

$150 million isn’t going to do anything

The War on Cancer started in Richard Nixon’s first term in 1970 and since then untold Billions have been spent on a “Cure” and yet we are still using the same treatments today, Chemo and Radiation. I am sure someone real treatment has been found that works but will never see the light of day given Cancer is such big business.

If there was a cure and a chance at total remission with simple treatments, how many hospitals, caner centers and people would be out of a job, at least 500,000 or more, say even 1 million. What would Big Pharma do, lots less profits. Lower medical costs, savings all around. Can’t have that can we?

>Send $150 billion each time to the money laundering of Ukraine, but a paltry $150 million for this.

Neither being (Constitutionally) legal *shrug*

Course, most of the (R)N(C) would be clapping in support, passing both

$150 million? That isnt a moonshot, that isnt even enough to get out of New Jersey! Having survived cancer myself, and seeing the costs involved, I dont think there is enough being spent. After 2 surgeries, I was up over $250k, and that was 15 years ago. If you figure economies of scale, I dont wee how a measly 150 mil will do much.

Biden told crowds that he cured Cancer.

This money goes to Biden cronies as salaries. Simple

Read RFK Jr’s book about Fauci.

The probably effect of 100 million in grants will be to feather the bed of Fauci’s PI brownshirts.

The usual grifters for grants. Throw more money at it. Rule one, everybody dies eventually. Rule two, medicine can’t fix rule one.

The FDA has on occasion paid for all the research on some cancer drug only to give the patent to some Big Pharma company to sell at extortionate rates.

I agree. $150 million in today’s health care costs is about equal to maybe a month of any hospital’s total operating budget.
