I keep seeing people post about how there's too much money to be made from cancer that they are keeping the cure from going public. Do you believe this? There's been so much money and time poured into cancer research already.
I'm as conservative as it gets, but at the same time I don't turn a blind eye to corporate greed.
Would I be surprised if there was a secret being kept from the world about how to prevent cancer from being formed, or to cure it from patients that are already diagnosed? No.
And why would I not be surprised? Because our healthcare system made up 12% of America's economy... who knows how much of the entire world's economies combined... and how much of that is specific to cancer and all related illnesses? That total shouldn't be estimated in billions of dollars per decade, or billions per year, but billions per fucking day.
And yet here's no promising cures for cancer anywhere in the near future. We've all been affected by it. Everyone has had someone go through cancer.
Never underestimate the ability of a powerful man to turn their view away from a tragic sight, if helping the situation would be a liability to their wealth and influence.
For example, based on the title of the video you posted, there's no way in blue hell I'm going to watch it.
I can't possibly help her, and watching it would put me in a bad mood for days.
And I love dogs, mine is laying next to me as I type this. Do I want to know the amount of dogs that were put down in shelters across the nation over the last 24 hours, and torment myself questioning what could be done? Fuck no.
