I'm not a huge conspiracy guy, but I'm sorry, there is absolutely zero fucking chance there's no cure for cancer and a dozen other things. They developed vaccinations, antibiotics, ect before the first half of the 19th century. They did this on a bunson burners and petry dishes. These pieces of shit take in BILLIONS in donations a year and have access do gene resequencers, supercomputers, and modeling programs BUT still can't make a dent over the last 60 years. Absolute bullshit.

This belief occurs because the general population has a misconception of what cancer really is. Cancer is not a single illness with a single cause. It's a group of diseases associated with error in different aspects of our DNA that control how cells divide and replicate. These errors can happen by mistakes occurring when cells divide, by environmental factors, or be inherited from your parents.

A universal cure would be virtually impossible as there is no universal cause or development of cancer itself.

They did not develop these types of treatments from first principles. We developed vaccinations over hundreds of years of observation and trial and error. The treatment was utilized before we really knew how or why they worked.

This is just absolutely false..... In the last 60 years survival rates for breast cancer went from 24% to 77%, bone marrow cancer from 10-20% to 70%, leukemia from 14% to 65%........ Nearly any cancer you can think of the survival has doubled to tripled

that might be because controlling random genetic mutation is a bit different than exposing the body to a particular sequence....
