    Bullshit

    If this was as successful as the tweet pretends there would be no stopping it. The profit potential for a successful cancer cure is astronomical.

        I guess the problem is that a whole lot of people actually believe this is the case.

        While we should hold pharmaceutical companies accountable (much more than we currently do), it leads to people not trusting the advice of doctors and healthcare professionals. Other groups then prey on people using those conspiracies to sell bogus treatments and products.

        So it might be funny, but it’s much better to call out the conspiracy theories.

          Indeed. Real cures don’t disappear, they just get a slight price correction Shkreli- style.
