Everyone is allowed to vent here. But your statement is an urban myth that has no basis in facts. I know too many researchers in the world of cancer. Hundreds of them are working in earnest to find the keys to this disease. Thousands world wide. It is unlikely that with the thousands of honest researchers at institutions all over the country and world working on this problem, that the solution is being kept form us. Do you think there is collusion between our country and researchers in France, the UK, Russia, and elsewhere? This is entirely illogical. When you consider the costs to the government for this disease, the motivation isn't there for this highly unlikely bit of urban myth. To insinuate that these many researchers are keeping us in the dark and not revealing the big picture to us, is to do severe disservice to good people. Please keep those kinds of statements off the boards and confined to your private PM's or elsewhere if you can find someone to believe them.

Has our government lied to us? Lots of times, getting into this God forsaken mess in Iraq, the Gulf of Tonken, the assassination of Diem, Alande, and hundreds more smaller lies. We are living under one of the least transparent administrations in the history of our country. But conspiracy theories about pharma companies withholding a cure for cancer for the benefit of those treating it, is just not plausible, given the world wide involvement that would have to take place. This is the tone and voice of frustration and not logic.
