The Failed War on Cancer

(MrFisk)
1 decade 6 months 2 weeks ago

"Forty-two years ago when President Nixon vowed to make curing cancer a national crusade, many anticipated quick results. That expectation was raised in part by the PR campaign, complete with ads suggesting we could cure cancer by the bicentennial, that successfully pushed President Nixon to support what came to be called his 'War on Cancer.'" - New York Times Retro Report

As so often it boils down to society.
No mention of stress induced cancer (studies say its up to 70% of all cancers - and also explains why cancer rates are rising, even though we live healthier than ever before), which would be easily fixable by changing society.
Also no mention of the wonder drug DCA that is extremely promising on animal tests, but doesnt get much funding or interest because nobody owns the rights on it and it cannot be patented and thus money cant be made with it and the pharmacy industry even tries to block it since they would lose tons of money, even go bankrupt, if it really worked, ultimately proving that society is again the culprit.

Hypocrisy... Im seriously getting sick of it.
