Seems to me if someone did find a “cure” for cancer....the NCI would not need or get that $5+billion /yr in tax money. Plus whatever that the pharma companies cough up.
So why would they want to ever find any kind of cure?
Same as a cure for the common cold....too damned much money in OTC and pharmaceuticals not including the doctors offices.
Again whoever find it owns the patent then all roads come thru them..
And guess what... Doctors, Nurses, Administrators, lose Mothers, Fathers, Brothers, Sisters, and Children to Cancer every damn day...
