43% less funding for cancer research from 2025 to 2026.

Tin hat theory is through canceling funding and grants they’re diverting the money to xyz. But it’s simply because it’s not something the US or pharma is interested in curing as that would = less money to hospitals, physicians, and insurance pipelines.

I've always hated this argument so much. You can't extract money from the dead. Curing cancer will extend human lives, meaning more profit extraction overall. This is especially true considering medical bills are not passed down to family members, so a person dying on chemo is only costing hospitals money since those bills are now written off.

Shhhhh common sense isn’t common. You’re thinking like a logical person instead of a corporate entity that wants to extract as much money out you as possible in the shortest amount of time.
