There will never be a cure for chronic illnesses.

This is probably already common knowledge, but I haven't seen much talk about it. Despite all of the "outside the industry" work being done to find cures to chronic illnesses like Type 1 Diabetes and such, it is highly likely that any breakthroughs will receive massive covert resistance from pharmaceutical corporations since a cure to a chronic illness will eliminate the need for any other diabetes-related industries. The individuals will be silenced, their work destroyed and forgotten, and nobody will ever know. I know Big Pharma is a big buzzword right now, but the corporations manufacturing products to facilitate the medical necessities of diabetics are very much Big Pharma. You'd have to be stupid to think they'd support a cure, as it would put them out of business forever. All of that sweet, sweet insulin price-gouging money all dried up. Even the guy who created the first T1D closed-loop system sold out to all the corporations who began marketing their sterilized version of his design for more than it's probably worth. In short, if you want a cure, you'd better hope you're a global elite or sufficiently wealthy person who can either pay for the patented corporate cure or get the secret medical treatment you know they're all getting.

actual cures have historically been very rare. Even now, you get a cold or a flu or something, there's no cure. There's a number of things that tweak your response to it so maybe you get less of a sore throat or maybe control fever or whatever but there's not an easy cure that doesn't mostly entail sitting around and waiting till you get better. You have way too much faith in medicine.

>>39882 I know an end-all-be-all cure is likely impossible in any lifetime. Even a "hands-free" treatment like the stem cell research they're doing that simulates a cure will be either shut down or price gouged.

An interesting specimen this OP! clearly a type of glitterboy, but that goes without saying. He resembles the common cynic, but where the cynic doubts the dubious and sometimes the less dubious, he embraces an incredible optimism tempered only by...something. Could it be communism ? Curious!

>>39884 Your pseudointellectual drivel is matched only by your confused assumption that I hold any sort of optimism or sympathy for communists.
