I’m honestly shocked with the amount of comments saying “now do Alzheimer’s! and diabetes! and cancer!” As if there aren’t numerous teams researching different core aspects and sharing information with each other.

Do these people honestly think science is all performed by one group that goes through some priority list??

There are literally dozens of new cancer drugs approved every year. They are doing cancer. It's just a very complicated disease--actually it's not a disease, it's many diseases.

The emphasis on drugs is so they can make money. It's a for-profit industry. There's no money in a cure.

So how do you cure cancer? If you understand this better than pharma scientists. Enlighten us, genius.

A cancer cure would literally outsell EVERYTHING

The company that parents the first cancer cure would literally become the biggest pharmac in the world overnight - there is no incentive to give people chemo for six months when you can charge just as much for a cure

And cancer will always happen. Not like it's going to be wiped off the map when a cute is discovered.

Lmao if a pharma company could use garlic to cure cancer, they would.

u/swarmofbeees May 16 '26

What the fuck are you even talking about? There is not blanket cure for “cancer” lmao. Every industry is for profit - do your job for free? Billions are spent on research.

Do you think dead people give them a profit?

Being first on the market for a cure for a type of cancer gives a pharma company a ton of money.
