The biggest problem/conspiracy in modern medicine never gets mentioned... Quantity vs Quality. We've done a really good job at extending life, but very little progress towards the quality of life in those advanced years.

Keeping elderly (85+) alive for years while withering away in a nursing home isn't living, but every day they don't die is another day they consume a cocktail of pharmaceuticals.

HPV vaccines?

Can basically prevent cervical cancer. I'm sure the vaccine makes plenty of money.

What is the money incentive for finding a cure?
i think it's hilarious when people claim no one would pay for a cancer cure.
