I do agree with your general sentiment that there’s a lot of nuance that’s certainly worthy of deeper conversation. But I’m not sure that nuance accumulates into a meaningful argument for the system not being a scam when looking at the price tag.
- lkois 4y agoCancer survival rates are gameable anyway. They depend highly on early screening. As a statistic I mean. You can have pretty solid 5 year stats without treatment, if it takes 10 years to kill people. OTOH, without screening, finding it 8 years later might make the best treatment futile, and the stats worse.
