I have always felt like there was too much money in treating cancer, therefore preventing a cure for cancer becoming "discovered"

this is a good start 97% in rats...they have a long way to go to get to human trials but this looks promising for sure.

If you don't think there's a cure for cancer already out there then I don't know what to tell you.

I thought vaccine's prevented these types a thing. Not cure them.

A cure would instantly be worth trillions.

Correct. It's not actually a vaccine, but a treatment. But since it will be given in shot/injection form it gets dubbed a "vaccine".

FTR, I used to work for a huge cancer treatment and research company. They have promising results in rats all the time and it fails in human trials.

Illuminati much?

Do you even have an understanding of how cancer works and the complexity of it that makes it so difficult to cure?

Can terminally ill cancer patients receive this treatment under the "Right to Try" legislation?

I am not trying to be a conspiracy theorist at all...I understand that cancer is a moving target. I just know that history tells me that money talks even when it comes to public health.

I pray this will be different. Cancer is evil and has touched almost every life on this planet in one way or another. The quicker we can get a comprehensive treatment or defense from it the better.

There will likely never be a single "cure for cancer" because almost every cancer is different. Even the same types of cancer can have different causes which makes them difficult to treat.

It will never make it to market. Long term treatment is where the money is. There is absolutely no way that cash cow gets eliminated.

A vaccine will never be approved or released for use in humans. That is, in the US anyway. Cancer is a megabucks business.

But a cure would result is low to no customer returns for service.

You people just make that shite up.

The trials, and their results, at major cancer research companies are usually public. I’ve worked with executives at one of these companies very closely and I promise they’re fighting to find a cure on a daily basis.

Issue is there will never be a cure for all. They’re all so different.

A cure for a single type of cancer would make them essentially unlimited money and they’d still treat the hundreds of other types.

I promise you they want cures.

Good god, it's not even a vaccine. It's just immunotherapy.
