So? Corporations, governments and other people conspire to rip off customers all the time. Off the top of my head: Planned obsolescence is a thing. Whole companies of people in India calling your house trying to trick you into buying computer-virus protection is a thing. Entire nations conspiring to steal industry secrets from other countries is a thing. Operation Mockingbird was/is a thing. General corruption is a thing and people working together when they have common goals is a thing. So what's your point in saying that something sounds like a "conspiracy theory" when there are clearly many, many people conspiring to do wrong all the time? And the existence of the vaccine industry does not prove that cures are always commercialized when possible.

> And the existence of the vaccine industry does not prove that cures are always commercialized when possible. For once, the health industry works on planning its own obsolescence (as it should, generally), and a major conspiracy theory pops up countering the trend... Another domain you didn't mention: imagine the crisis in the food and distribution industry if everyone started having a healthy diet overnight... While those sectors may not have started the obesity epidemics deliberately, they now rely on its expansion for growth.
