Suffering costs people money. Cancer care costs about $200 billion dollars a year. Who in their right mind would cure cancer when it’s so profitable??? /s
Pretty much this. It’s this-quarter thinking: if we develop a cure, what are the profits gonna look like this quarter. Not next quarter, not in 3 years when it’s proven effective and sells on the market like hotcakes, this quarter. Short-term profit-seeking is killing us all.

They ARE the cancer, so its just self-preservation

The money’s in the treatment, not in the cure
