If the treatments don’t fix the problem, then patients may select other treatments based on price or effectiveness, or choose to not be treated at all as many do. Owning the cure is owning a monopoly on the cure. FAR more profitable

And again, if you don’t believe me, look at any vaccine ever. Why make vaccines if they are less profitable?

If someone is sick and you cure them you charged them once. If someone is sick and you treat them you charge them over and over until they die. I do see your argument but owning a cure is only profitable for as long as you can privatize it. A treatment is public and the patient either chooses to be treated and die later or not be treated and die sooner.

No, the patient chooses from a long list of treatments that will supposedly help, because there are many ways to “treat” cancer. My point was that competition is a more powerful motivator. Also cancer will always exist regardless of whether a cure gets invented. Everytime someone is born there’s a 40% chance they will get cancer. Thats an everlasting profit margin. Dying on the other hand makes people lose confidence in your product. You seem to think that the “cancer treatment industry” is a

It seems like we might be saying the same thing in two different ways when it comes to treatments. But I think it goes a little deeper than what you’re addressing when it comes to cancer. I DO think the treatment industry is a gold mine, in any illness but especially cancer. I’d actually call it a never ending money hack. Cancer probably will always exist fs, but the odds of getting it haven’t always been as high as they are today.

It’s not an iv bag filled with mystery pharma liquid. It’s surgery. Pharma companies don’t make anything off of surgery. It’s not a gold mine

Cancer is created by the environment we live in and the toxins we consume everyday, toxins that are fed to us largely by one industry and treated by another. Big food investing in big pharma creates the money hack. So releasing a cure would be a wrench in the system of treating the illness

Pharma companies don’t make anything off surgery? Bro do you think ppl are going into operations without pharmaceuticals?

No, cancer is caused when a naturally evolved kill switch built into our cells backfires and causes the cell to forget that it’s part of your body without actually killing the cell. Many things can cause this to happen, but it has always been a natural part of every species for pretty much all time

I think we’re gonna just have to agree to disagree, you’re not wrong that cancer can and has occurred naturally but to think that it can’t and isn’t manipulated purposefully but big industries and corporations is incorrect imo. I can see how curing cancer is profitable but treating it is infinitely more profitable, and the fast food industry would benefit from a cure but they’re also benefiting from no cure

I mentioned it earlier but it’s a long game, thinking that the major industries work independently of each other is the wrong way to think about it. They work together, you cause a problem and then manufacture the solution. Big food causes the problem of poor health and then funnel money into big pharma in order to address the problem they created, now they’re making money on both ends instead of just one. It creates a cycle and releasing a cure for the number one problem they’ve created ends it

No see you’re just assuming shit. You have no idea how companies work together because you’ve never worked at a high level in those industries. If there really was a giant cartel running our economy, it would be much more obvious. Even in a country like Russia where the nation is controlled by an oligarchy, industries don’t collaborate on that level. We have hundreds of thousand of government employees that are employed solely to ensure that that doesn’t happen

No dude that’s why I brought it up. I didn’t take painkillers, I just waited for the anesthetic to wear off and then went about my day. And yeah it hurt and someone else might have taken pain killers, but I KNOW that you don’t think that selling a box of Advil once a year is more profitable than selling a cancer cure that could be sold for thousand of dollars a person

Name a pain pill that never goes bad. It may have a long shelf life but that doesn’t mean it’s indefinite bro. And it depends what the gummies are intended to treat, that’s why gummies are usually vitamins and not actually for treating acute symptoms. Ppl use actual otc medications for that. I don’t see how this ties in to a cure being more profitable than a treatment tho. Pain pills are a treatment not a cure
