The point I'm trying to make is that it seems there is more benefit to the country in not having a cure than having one (money, population control). I have degrees in Biology and Chemistry, neither of which license me to being crazy, but give me a bit of insight into medicine and development.

I offer statistics and you say I have idiotic beliefs? Either offer substance to support what you believe, or STFU.

I don't think govt is withholding cure. We wouldn't have all these vaccinations for other stuff if our govt or doctors operated like that just to make money. Besides, it would make more sense to hold back a vaccination than a cure since people would pay even bigger money to cure themselves of cancer than what they are paying currently for treatment. People will always get cancer so even having a cure won't cut into the money involved. Then again, I pulled most of what I just said out of my arse.

by that logic, why cure anything?

There are many different types of cancer. The doctor isn't writing a script you fill at walgreens to cure your stage three pancreatic cancer. Saying "cure" is an oversimplification that supports your silly argument.
