My suggestion re previous post
Just a thought on the post why cancer will never be cured:
In the video the interviewers talk about drug companies not wanting to invest thousands of dollars into testing as it is an old drug and has no patent on it so the big pharms can’t make a major profit on it.
We’re talking about a major drug here. Something the world has been searching for, for years.
My suggestion is for the giant tobacco companies to fund the testing and development so we can all smoke again. To recoup costs, all they need to do is add a single dollar to each pack (or carton) and within a few years, they are in profit for all directions of business.
It’s the perfect solution.

Interesting concept, but why stop at the Tobacco companies?
What about pesticide companies too… escpecially those that make 1080! Okay, so they wouldn’t make their money back, but how many people have developed cancers after handling pesticides / herbicides etc?
Indeed. Good suggestion there.
