The “it’s a conspiracy why we don’t have a cancer cure” comments make me want to just lay down and drool on my carpet. It’s so fucking retarded it just knocks the brain cells out of me.

They would if Big Pharma was suppressing a cure, which for the recore, I dont believe is happening.

Steve Jobs died of an easily curable cancer because he refused treatment in favor of eating vegetables.
Steve Jobs is a bad example, he died of cancer because he refused proper treatment, he could’ve afforded what was available at the time.
What was available at the time was radioactive chemicals injected into the area the cancer was and hoping that it killed the cancer before it killed you. Yeah I get why people would say no to that one.
There is a conspiracy on this. Pharma companies aren’t interested in curing cancer because it would rob them of many millions of life long “customers” who are reliant on their products. The majority of their R&D budget goes into specific treatments of symptoms, or treatments focused on specific types of cancer rather than a fundamental cure. Universities and charities do the research into the cure but they’re nowhere near as well funded. This is a pretty well-documented fact, sadly.
It’s not exactly unbelievable either, given the behaviour of other corporations like Nestlé, Shell, BP etc.
Edit: Huh this turns out to be quite controversial. I remain unconvinced by your arguments. Just for the record, I’m not a conspiracist, but I do believe there are conspiracies, and I believe this is one of them. It’s a mundane one, a lot like the conspiracy to keep everyone burning planet-killing fossil fuels or lung-destroying cigarettes.
It’s been…Reddit, talking with you.It is actually quite easy to see if something is a conspiracy.
Just ask yourself: do the rich and powerful suffer from it?
If the answer is yes, then it is bollocks.
For example, have rich and powerful people died of cancer? They are the ones who could get any treatment they want, even the conspired against ones.
Yet there are plenty of rich people suffering from cancer.
Another easy one would be chemtrails. The rich and powerful live under the same sky as everyone else. So if someone was doing that, you know they would throw money against it to stop it.
If this was as successful as the tweet pretends there would be no stopping it. The profit potential for a successful cancer cure is astronomical.
This is why you dont get informed from a cropped twitter pic on lemmy.
