Do you think that the medical research and treatment INDUSTRY really want to find a cure for cancer or AIDS?

I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, and correct me if I’m wrong, but so many diseases were cured in the first half of the last century with so much less technology than we have today.

I think your absolutely correct, and i'm usually the first one to knock some sense into a goofy conspiracy theorist :)
Reply:Yes they want to find a cure.





I guess you didn't think that maybe the easy to cure diseases were cured first.





The easy things are always the first things. You may as well ask why it takes so long to build a modern 100+ story skyscraper when in the past they could build 5 story buildings in much shorter time.
Reply:No. The plan is to TREAT disease. Not CURE disease. No money in cures.
Reply:No.
Reply:Yes, they do. The individual scientist, and the company working on the cure would love to have his fame and fortune forever etched in history as the ones who cured whatever.





They would make more money curing it than they will treating it. Imagine if every person had to take the aids cure like a vaccine. Thats alot more doses than the small % of the population that gets infected. And if it was curable people would not try avoding it so they could treat more people and many more than once just like we do ghonorhea and syphyllus today.





The reason we had success with so many diseases in the past century, was that all those diseases were similar, and thus similarly treated. Most were bacteria, treated with antibiotics. Others were simple viruses and treated with vaccines. What is left are the diseases that attack the body differently and thus must have new types of cures.
Reply:No, there is no money in cures,,,and that is ALL they care about.!!!!!
Reply:No, it is not a conspirators theory at all, drug company's make billions off of sick people. I cannot speak of aids or cancer, never experienced it, however I can speak of diabetes's, If they found a cure for diabetes instead of treating it, they would lose billions. My drug bill alone is around $400 a month, multiply that by the 15 or 20 million people that are diagnosed in the U.S. and the many millions more globally and you can see why they never want to cure anything. It is another example of corporate greediness, but they have all the guns, the people have none and until it is not profitable they will continue to rape the people.
Reply:are you kidding me? DISEASES = DRUGS and DRUGS = MONEY. who'd want to give up a deal like that?
