Are you serious?? Cancer will be the highest grossing killer along with bacteria that will ever face humanity. There is no
where humans have to go to expand. Can you image the devastation it would cause to the world such as wars,
overpopulation, an even more under resourced planet etc etc if people are allowed to live cancer free over others. I think
you have drastically overlooked how much it would effect the world. It would totally change humanity!

I don't even know how to respond to this garbage. Yes, defeating cancer would drastically improve our lifespan. Was that your
point?
People always like to think that a drug against cancer can be found by just pointing a microscope at some cells and performing
some generic 'science' on it.
People have been at it for decades. Hundreds, thousands of scientists and physicians, all around the world. Cancer deaths affect
all of us at some point in our lives, and it's devastating. If you truly believe we are just letting cancer run rampant on kids, teens,
adults and the elderly just to keep our population under control, then I have to question your sanity.

If big pharma secretly did have the cure for cancer, but found treatment more lucrative, they'd keep patients alive &
constantly buying treatments for a lot longer than mere months. Maybe years. Maybe for the rest of their natural lifetime.

Who really knows and whats the point of fighting about it? That's what gets me. Why fight over things we have no idea
about? Maybe there is one maybe not, but the fact is we don't know about it so why quarrel against each other over things like
this?

Cancers can't be cured by a vaccine. Some Cancers are caused by virus like the ones cause by HPV, and for those there are
vaccines for prevention. So the vaccine conspiracy it's dumb

The only time to worry about these sorts of (frankly, ludicrous) beliefs is when it can directly hurt someone. If any of your

Don't let them spend thousands of dollars on colon cleanses or some bullshit while their condition worsens.
I think one of the most upsetting things about conspiracy theories like these is just... how terrible you have to assume people are

anyone is that two dimensional, let alone horrible.

Someone tell me i'm being trolled.
Where exactly am I ignorant of? The government conspiracy that tries to keep cancer in circulation as a way to thin the herd?
Why not educate me on the matter then, because i'm all ears.

Well the idea is that it's a lot more profitable for these pharmaceutical companies to give expensive treatments to a patient than
cure it outright.

I never believed this particular conspiracy theory, however given recent events with ebola...that just when 2 Americans were
infected, suddenly they have an untested miracle cure that apparently cured those two within minutes of getting the injection....it
makes me think twice about it now.
I still dont fully believe it, but now I wonder.

There's no real "cure" for cancer since it is genetically-based, kinda like there's no cure for cystic fibrosis. The only way that
cancer could be eradicated in someone is making sure there are no new cancer cells, which is currently by killing the cells.
Cancer is caused by the mutation of the apoptotic mechanism in cells, so reversing this mutation in cancer cells is the only real
"cure".
Silly OP, we all know that the cure for cancer is baking soda.

0% because cancer isn't a virus or bacteria that can be cured by a simple vaccine or pill. This is like saying a single vaccine
can be the cure for polio, tubercolosis, heart disease, pulmonar edema and MS at the same time.
#120
The problem with cancer investigation is that every cancer is different and behaves very differently in the way it
attacks/spreads/multiply. It's impossible to have a vaccine be the cure to every cancer in the world.
You can have a vaccine for one specific type of cancer and it's "possible" that a pharmaceutical company is hidding the cure but
for every cancer? Not a chance.
And after the 5 years of seeing a small group studying the use of tamoxifen to treat endometrial cancer not to cure the cancer
itself, it's absurd to tme that anyone believes the cure is somewhere hidden.

So wait, do you think we can (or could, or will be able to) cure cancer but we don't (or won't, or shouldn't) release that
information because then health standards would be too much higher in richer countries than in poorer countries and that would
lead to wars? Or do you mean that politicians in rich countries and the elite would be able to live longer lives thanks to better
access to healthcare and the people would revolt?

So there's potentially a conspiracy revolving around near future technology that may or may not hold the key to a cancer cure that
big pharma would spend millions to produce AND THEN....just sit on it. Cuz capitalism and all.

I guess the question is how that magical cure would be offered to people anyway. Would some guy in a suit show up at your
doorstep and tell you that he'll cure you for 5 billion $? How would he prove that the cure is real? How would he stop the buyer
from spilling the beans? It seems like a really bad business model

Could you perhaps list all the wars that have ever been fought over the availability of vaccines for diseases that kill huge amounts
of people every year? I'm not clear on why you think eliminating cancers would cause some kind of collapse. Cancer kills people
well after their sexual maturity and child bearing age on average. People will live longer (but still die from other things) but this
will not have a disastrous impact on population growth rates.

My mom thinks the same thing. She also thinks the technology on the original Star Trek was mostly real, and they just kept it
from us for years before gradually releasing it.
She meant tricorders and their little PDAs and things, not like..."ZOMG SPACESHIPS"
To be honest, is really possible that the cure of cancer (not all types, but some of them) exists and pharmaceutical
companies just don't want the people to know, because the treatments for cancer gives lots and lots of money.

I have a little bit more faith in humanity that that. If there was truly a cure for cancer:
1. It's impossible to keep something of that magnitude a secret. It would involve hundreds if not thousands of people, all who
would have to be bribed to stay quiet. No way that stays secret for long.
2. Big pharma will make it's money regardless. The idea that they're going to spend a ton of money researching a cure only to sit
on it so that they can spend more money researching other treatments? Makes no sense whatsoever. Even if they tried to hide it,

Don't fret, there's already a huge disparity in access to healthcare and other resources both within societies and around the
world, I doubt a cancer drug is going to be the tipping point.

There are a lot of people convinced that there are cures for all sorts of diseases but the government or big pharma are
hiding them to try to milk people for money. Even otherwise reasonable and rational people believe these conspiracy theories.
Hell, there's probably a decent percentage of people in this thread who would say, "no way the government has cures and doesn't
release them!" but then leave it open for conjecture whether pharmaceutical companies do, and then try to rationalize their
conspiracy theory.
Hell, there are people that still believe that the US Government invented the AIDs virus to kill Black people and gay people. I'm
always surprised whenever I hear someone who I would otherwise consider fairly informed espouse this type of conspiracy
theory.
*edit*
I didn't even read the thread when I replied, only to find that a decent percentage in here think that, well, of course the
government isn't hiding a cure, but "think of the profits for big pharma/medical cabal/etc/etc." There is a truther/birther level of
ignorance required to believe that.

If anyone at a drug company did come up with a universal cure, didn't patent it, and was scooped 10 years later by an
academic or small start up or rival pharma, they would have burned themselves (and their company) out of tens of billions of

dollars.
Not to mention, the success of said cure and subsequent cover-up would require any company to compensate, bribe, or threaten
every participant of the actual clinical testing (which we would presume would have be done off the books somehow), from the
lowliest lab tech to the clinical trial manager. Not to mention all of the formulation scientists, basic researchers, pkd scientists, QC
scientists, portfolio project managers, small animal model testing scientists, animal facility protocol approval staff, all Phase I
participants, all Phase 2 participants, venture capitalists, the NIH, the FDA, all of your shareholders, and all members "in the
know" of all other companies that are in on the conspiracy with you. While somehow trusting that no one in this vast web would
just say "fuck it, I'm taking my billions" and walking the secret to the cure into the brand new company down the street that's
looking for a new CEO.
You're presuming a level of loyalty that simply doesn't exist in the industry. These companies fire entire offices of 500-1000 staff if
the wind blows the wrong way or if a product isn't working out as well as planned. No NDA could keep a discovery that big from
leaking.
Edit: Here is the list of the top 10 selling cancer drugs of 2013. If you had one universal cure, you could make all of them obsolete
overnight, and pull in over 40 billion dollars a year. On one drug. For at least the next 10 years. You could buy a country with that
kind of money.

Somewhat related, I learned that a friend's wife believes in all this holistic-cures-cancer stuff she reads on the internet.
There are a few pretty big sites for this apparently and they're kind of all connected. They took the rather reasonable 'eating
healthy is good for you' premise and twisted the hell out if it. As I was reading this stuff it definitely was trying to rope in the
'government is lying to you' crowd in as well.
#149
They all seemed to be related to some treatment that, from what I gathered, centers around a shitload of 'produce shakes' a day
and coffee enemas.
I tried to tell her to at least be a little skeptical and keep in mind that people benefit from driving traffic to this stuff. She was
really defensive and couldn't grasp that people had any way of making money from this stuff. In other words, "why would they
lie?" So I pulled up the site she was parroting the most. Ads, YouTube videos and donation requests galore. Apparently this
'treatment' even has 'clinics' where they take your money.
My friend stayed rather silent in all this. I could tell they'd had this argument before and he basically didn't have the will to argue
it anymore. :(
