Curing cancer is evidently easier than simply not going on Fox News every 3 weeks and telling everyone they will lose their jobs.

- pseudohadamard 2mo agoCuring cancer is impossible, because cancer isn't one thing. For example, I have a cure for cancer. And not just some benign thing but scary leukaemia, specifically chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) in which genes on two chromosomes get switched and use a molecule called ATP to activate other proteins that cause cancerous growths. The cure is to block ATP using a drug called imantinib. So there, I've cured cancer! What's that? You don't have CML but some other type of cancer? Well I didn't say I could cure all cancer, you should have read the fine print. Now gimme more money.
