Exactly. Toaster’s argument is contradictory.

Big Pharma companies won’t develop a fast cure because they’d lose money compared to the revenues from long-term treatments

BUT

Insurance won’t pay for the fast cure because it would be more expensive than current treatments

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

1/20/20 6:13pm

You're making things up.

1/20/20 6:15pm

I'm not.

1/20/20 6:17pm

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...

Exactly. Toaster’s argument is contradictory.

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
