Why There Will Never Be a Cure for Cancer

There is a long-standing belief among many conspiracy theorists that there will never be a cure for cancer. Why is it that they believe this?

Cancer has been one of the leading killers in the United States for many years. Cancer has claimed, and effected many lives over the last hundred years. It has also caused for the medical community to raise billions of dollars.

The billions of dollars that are raised pay the thousands of doctors that conduct the research. It also pays for the salaries of people that raise more money for cancer research. It also pays the salaries of hundreds of people that advertise for these organizations.

Also, a lot of this money also goes into the pockets of politicians. Much of this money is to convince politicians to be mindful of interests that pertain to cancer research and treatment.

Think for a moment about the amount of money that is spent a year on cancer medication. How many drug companies would go out of business if a cure for cancer were found? How many politicians would loose elections because they did not have the backing of these drug companies?

The tobacco companies are some of the strongest donators when it comes to political election money. If a cure for cancer were to be found, the tobacco companies would not have any use to support political elections. There would no longer be a worry about smoking causing cancer because there would be a cure.

The tobacco companies would also gain money hand over fist. If a cure for cancer were found, more people would continue to smoke, and many new customers would soon be added. Many of the smoking bans would be lifted in the United States, and the tobacco companies would have very little to fight for.

It was once estimated that one out of every thousand people in the United States work in some field that is linked to cancer research. If a cure for cancer were to be found, it would have a strong, negative effect on the economy in the United States.

If a cure for cancer were to ever be found, the medical community would see shrinkage of staff unlike any that it has ever seen. Unemployment would skyrocket as thousands medical, advertising, and charity professionals lost their jobs. Homelessness in areas where research was centered would also increase.

Support for this failed industry would cause for a raise in taxes to help support the influx of newly unemployed. This raise in taxes would then, in turn like other raises in taxes, bring more people under the poverty level in the United States.

There most likely will never be a cure for cancer. A cure for cancer could be one of the worst mistakes for the United States economy.
