This had to be at least 20 years ago. I can’t imagine thinking that in 98 I had access to information to conclude how many billionaires had cancer.
Not to mention how would one find out about Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia?

So how exactly do you propose we take that power away?

Remember when we got drunk with those guys from AstraZeneca and they told us that they had the cure as well a while back?
There it is. it's like the nuclear war. They are all sitting on it, and ready to shoot it out to market once another decides to be the "first". Just sayin...

You obviously didn't read the rest of his post. He is making fun of you.

Whatever he does, however he does it..... works for those particular types of cancer. The point I was making, which is same as others, is that the big pharma makes billions on treating the symptoms of cancer. There is more profit potential for them treating symptoms rather than curing.
I recommended watching the Kezentzy documentary because it shows how far big pharma(and influencing FDA through lobbyist) to protect the status quo.

We have a cure for a lot of early cancers.....a surgical blade

If you are young enough and have the right insurance they can cure it.

Works? Lol
Show us the data.
Big pharma makes money. The good doc works for free, right?
Like I said. Watching a movie doesn’t make you informed.
Or should I just explain how you are wrong based on Michael Moore movies?

Hospitals have spent hundreds of millions on cancer centers, equipment, doctors, etc.
If one group found a cure, it would cost Hospitals who went all in on cancer, a lot of $$$$
If I'm a pharmaceutical company, expected to deliver value to investors by finding new products to treat devastating diseases and ultimately either make my company attractive for acquisition or deliver profits to shareholders, how many fricks do you think I give about what some hospitals are spending on their cancer treatment wings?
(Hint: the answer is less than one)

Kickbacks have been illegal for years. Pharma companies can't even give doctors pens anymore.

Tin foil time: Alex Jones says that Pres. Trump has been briefed on the many cures that have been under wraps. He's waiting to reveal when his approval rating is very low.

ITT: a whole lot of people who do not understand
1. Cancer
2. Healthcare
3. The economics of the Pharmaceutical/Med Device industry
Yikes.

I bet the "cures are available" mindset here is also highly correlated with the "9/11 was an inside job" belief.

Drug rep gifts were kinda fun, those were the days. We used to have a Prilosec clock in the pharmacy that belched/hiccuped on the hour.
