    Big pharma only has one god: make more money. If there were a cancer cure they could sell for 10 billion dollars a dose you’d better believe it’s going on the market. Plebians can’t afford that, but Steve Jobs could have. Elon Musk can. But instead Steve died of cancer and Elon is trying to figure out how to upload his brain because he’s scared of dying. No, big pharma isn’t suppressing this one.

    Besides, by covering up a cure, you condemn patients to death that will eventually otherwise need your medical services. It’s much more profitable to keep them alive and rape them for services in nursing homes at the end of their lives.

      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.
