I'm sure there will be a slow progress towards better treatments and or 'cures' or 'vaccines' for cancer over the next generation...and heck they may continue to be expensive enough to make it worthwhile for the bad guys  |
Yeah, I see your point and I'm sure that if 'cure' or 'vaccine' does come out, that it will be insanely expensive and for the most part only the rich will be able to get the treatment and that includes these pharmaceutical guys. Drugs that are given to patients who have cancer such as the chemotherapy drugs, pain killers, anti-nauseant, etc .. would still be more lucrative I'm thinking. As long as a cure is available for Mr.CEO of Pfizer, if he gets cancer, then all is ok in the world. Pharmaceutical companies could care less about the people who take their drugs, they just care about the $$$. .. Hopefully though, if a cure is ever found that it is covered by insurance and EVERYONE who is stricken with Cancer is able to be treated, regardless of their financial situation.
