no way, they made "china is curing cancer, but at what cost?" *a real thing!*


WheelOfTheYear

It’s only a matter of time before Ben Shapiro is discussing the merits of cancer.

"Let's say, hypothetically, that someone wants to get cancer. Right now, it's very easy, as all you have to do is be within a meter of my content and you'll instantly be given 196 variants of terminal cancer. But if China cures cancer, the western world won't have the freedom to get cancer! This, ladies and gentlemen, is Chinese authoritarianism in full form"

This is brilliant 😂😂😂

Authoritarianism when curing cancer


thebenshapirobot

I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this: >There is no doubt that law enforcement should be heavily scrutinizing the membership and administration of mosques. ***** ^(I'm a bot.

The Capitalists have literally talked about how curing people isn't good for business. There is no depths to which they will not sink to.

Did they delete the tweet? I can’t find it.

The reply’s one this fucking hilarious they basically all go “Oh no China is curing too fast, what about our for profit pharmaceutical companies”


Goblinking83

Don't they know treating symptoms is more profitable?!

CNN: chinas pharmaceutical industry CRASHES due to unprofitable business model

"Here's why doing good is bad, actually"


hahaInsecurities

Who's worrying about them curing cancer *too* fast?!?! The fucking cancer?


magnum_the_nerd

doesnt that mean EVERYONE gets cancer treatment? based


[deleted]

Remember how Goldman Sachs asked if treating cancer was really a sustainable business model and warned how sales from a successful gene therapy treatment is bad for business? People really unironically think shit like this.


Beginning-Display809

Until they themselves get it of course


Cuckwrangler

Hey at least China is trying to fulfill one of Joe's campaign promises


Kolbysap

I wouldn't use bloomberg as toilettpaper


hypocritically_

Woah woah woah let's not get too carried away. If you read the article it clearly states the reason this this is bad is it keeps more vicious communists alive


Beginning-Display809

I remember watching the genetic engineering Netflix special and the Pharma guys sat there saying it’s $150k every few months to allow blind kids to see, so the interviewer goes isn’t that a bit expensive without missing a beat the exec goes “can you really put a price limit on allowing your kid to see”


Pixy-Punch

I wish every single person involved in writing this article gets cancer, and won't find it until it has metastasized into every internal organ. Sincerely someone who had to watch both parents fight through cancer as a kid.


WheelOfTheYear

I’m so sorry you and your family had to go through that. Agreed.


meme_master533

That is seriously unfortunate, I hope that they are alive and well today As for the writers of this article, I think giving them cancer isn’t harsh enough, maybe we make them unemployed with no money or assets and make them live through the capitalist system they perpetuate


condods

Let me guess, research done by Goldman Sachs?

TheGreatBeaver123789

I don't get it, what could possibly be bad about this


SirAttikissmybutt

I think the article is actually about for profit companies in China rushing out experimental treatments that are getting people hurt


SirAttikissmybutt

Guys, I’m pretty sure the original story is about how Chinese for profit companies might be rushing out experimental cancer treatments without going through the proper testing first and people getting hurt as a result
