Talking to an NP I know,she works for a PCP.She told me a patient of theirs has lung cancer, is taking chemo but wasn’t responding to it.
Patient started taking ivermectin on her own,didn’t tell her oncologist.Her tumors are shrinking and her breathing is better.
I’v read these stories but first one I’ve heard locally from someone I know.

It's 65%, based on estimated percentages from data collected in the industry as a whole.

No kidding. You would think one would know by now how medical care in the US is handled. All you need to do is go to your primary care doctor and see if they can treat you for something minor without throwing cures at the symptoms. This is the same thing but on a smaller scale but for some reason you think because this is a life/death illness they aren't going to do the same for you this time around especially when there are millions of dollars on the line. The fact of the matter is more money should always be thrown at curative therapies vs life prolongment drugs. It doesn't take a mathmetician to figure that out.

65% of the 40% of allowable R&d funding for oncology drugs?

FYI, if a percentage is given then a subset of that percentage is given, then the second percentage is a % of the subset.
(e.g, if in a sample 100 students, 50 are girls and 10 are black girls, you would say 50% are female and only 20% of those are black). So your "5%" really should have been 12.5%.

Back to the topic at hand, you don't get to just throw out a number like that in a discussion like this and not back it up. Which is the point I was making with my last message.
