Only way anything ever gets cured is if it makes pharma a profit. Name a single cure. EVER. I'll wait.

Smallpox. Rinderpest.

Five more are currently on the chopping block potentially. Including mumps, measles & rubella.
Sounds familiar a combo? That's the MMR vaccines target. The one the disgraced EX-Dr. Andrew Wakefield started the modern antivax movement to discredit for money.

Not cured. These and all others are at best, preventative.
ZERO CURES. Anywhere, ever. Those are the facts. And, the more anti-vax retards increase in numbers, the less effective those preventive measures will be going forward.
Step outside any country with high vax rates and all you have to do is open your eyes. Polio, small pox, measles, whooping cough.....all those still exist and still effect people.
You cure something, you get paid ONCE. You "prevent or treat" you never stop making money, bottom line.
Downvote me all you want, I could care less. Facts are facts whether you like them or not.
Just because you don't like them doesn't make them not true. That logic only works in internet echo chambers like reddit. In the real world, realities have to be dealt with, like it or not.

Vaccines are not cures and have never been described as such. The tetanus shot doesn’t cure tetanus. The HPV vaccine doesn’t cure HPV. The flu shot doesn’t cure influenza.
There’s no cure for cancer, but imagine having a treatment option for cancer less invasive than chemotherapy. The improvement to quality of life alone is worth it.
If people keep confusing the actual purpose of vaccines as a cure and not as a measure to prevent illness and hospitalization then they’re basically a self fulfilling prophecy.

No shit sherlock. NOR did I say they were. So, I didnt comment directly on the vax story, sue me. See the dipshit who responded first, posting vaccine shit to a comment that didn't even mention vaccines. I very clearly said, they haven't cured a SINGLE thing, EVER, and they haven't. And, they won't.
Here's a giant newsflash for you, they aren't looking for cures and they never have. Nor will they. NO PROFIT.
Vaccines are great, but the big point no one gets is that as long as people are satisfied with vaccines, vaccine is all they ever acheive, it's all they ever will acheive.
There isn't going to EVER be a vax for cancer because that isn't what cancer is or how it works.
Cancer isn't communicable, not a virus, nor even a bacteria. It's mutated cell growth, you can't vax mutations, thats not how it works.

Are you always this much of a ray of sunshine? I read what you said. I understood what you said.
mRNA has been studied for its potential in cancer treatment, not cure. Your right, it doesn’t cure cancer, but the hope is that it will do the same thing it did with the COVID vaccine: train your body to recognize and fight tumour cells. It might be the one good thing that might have come out of this pandemic is the mRNA technology expedited, allowing now for research to be expanded on how it can be used as a therapy.
Of course, sure there’s no money in the cure, but I also don’t live in a country where I have to pay for insulin. 🤷🏻♀️

I tell it like it is. If that's not shiny enough, sorry, not sorry.
They've "studied" everything from mRNA to window cleaner because they have to show "something" for the billions they've bilked everyone out of for 100 years of "research" that's gone exactly nowhere and never will.
