Immune discovery may treat all cancer.

Man I sure hope so but it seems like these kind of headlines come out every 6 months or so and then nothing

I just share for people to read what research is going on.

Drug companies would go totally belly up if these went into production. That's..

1/20/20 5:55pm

Oh stop it. That's stupid. The reason they don't play out is because there are so many different types of cancer caused

I just figure they are all caused by the original terrorist cells.

Then at least ONE kind could have been cured by now. Regardless I've personally

You're making things up.

Pharmacy exacutives are not speaking in seminars about how they won't cure cancer because it isn't profitable. That is

Slim

1/20/20 6:20pm

It's not they "won't", they just economically can't.

1/20/20 6:24pm

We quickly treat all kinds of things right now that would be more profitable to draw out

Slim

1/20/20 6:27pm

You think the company that patents a cancer curing drug won't print money? How dumb do you think we are?

shimmy

1/20/20 7:16pm

You're assuming that the money they make will offset the costs and all future..

1/20/20 7:37pm

Man if they can charge that much for a drug that gives you 8 months just to imagine what they could charge for a cure

Slim

1/20/20 7:44pm

The cost referenced is to the developing firm, not the patient.

1/20/20 7:48pm

So R&D costs more for a cure than it does for a non curative treatment?

1/20/20 8:22pm

Yes but taking it to market is where the costs become prohibitive.

1/20/20 8:27pm

Look, regardless, for the most critical reasons, I hope this article is right...

“Oh whoops, I thought this was the Big Pharma collusion conference. Disregard what I just said!”

Time to take a break from reddit, Toaster

Mike Honcho

1/20/20 6:02pm

So curing cancer on day 30 after dx is equally as profitable as curing on day..

1/20/20 6:14pm

The first company that could cure cancer with a patented treatment would make an absolute fortune. You have to actually

Mike Honcho

1/20/20 6:31pm

You're assuming insurance firms would pay such a price, and that the outrageous

1/20/20 6:37pm

Again. Hep-C. Drug companies priced Harvoni and Sovaldi extremely high...

UCLACoug

1/20/20 6:47pm

Exactly. Toaster’s argument is contradictory.

Mike Honcho

1/20/20 6:51pm

You’re just making stuff up to justify the silly conspiracy theories. If you can name one such drug that fizzled out due

Mike Honcho

1/20/20 6:48pm

Yep. Drug companies already came out with cures for Hep-C.

UCLACoug

1/20/20 6:38pm

Here you go, Toaster

BlueVU

1/20/20 6:15pm

It's not a conspiracy. There are many in the tech commercialization industry

1/20/20 6:20pm

Please explain how curing cancer couldn’t be monetized but fake cures can

1/20/20 6:28pm

There aren't any fake cures. Treatment over years vs quick cure delivered by a

1/20/20 6:33pm

Oh sure there are. Here

Mike Honcho

1/20/20 6:35pm

Yeah, those are like the garbage vegan and cannabis theories.

1/20/20 6:38pm

And yet, they made money for someone like Rogue Gunner said

Mike Honcho

1/20/20 6:46pm

Exactly. If those things can make money, of course a real cure would make money.

1/20/20 7:13pm

Yep
