The laugh is I drink in a Joseph Holts pub. Joeys has done more to raise money for Cancer research than probably any one person or company. It is why it's called the Holt Radium Institute. Are Joeys in on the conspiracy or have they been taken for mugs ?Not the first time I've heard this one. I've also heard there is a cure for AIDS and if you have enough money you can get it and people like Magic Johnson and Charlie Sheen have bought it.
Alcohol increases your chance of cancer too which is probably why Sir Joey raises money for CR.The laugh is I drink in a Joseph Holts pub.

People really are stupid.
Today in my local the bar maid was holding court with 4 guys.
Apparently 'they' are deliberately not finding a cure for cancer so that the money keeps rolling in. I mean, we've had 30 years to find a cure and yet.......
Not saying I believe it but I could make an argument why they wouldn't just sell it.It also just doesn’t make sense, if they had a cure why would they let people die rather than… you know… sell them the cure? I imagine most people would pay quite a lot to not die. And the good part is they might get it again and now all of a sudden you’ve got repeat customers.
Drum circles tend not to bring change.Tell you what the elites really didn't fucking like, that Occupy Wall Street movement. Whatever happened to that?
That’s why we need death committees. NICE.Not saying I believe it but I could make an argument why they wouldn't just sell it.
Let's say the cost is £20k for the miracle cancer curing drug.
Lots of people simply couldn't afford it and would just have to die.
Therefore, there would be strong arguments made as to it should be available on the NHS in the UK and the NHS simply couldn't afford to pay that out for everyone who got cancer.
Can you imagine how many godundme accounts would be set up.

Amazing.But in that scenario the NHS are paying pharmaceutical companies for it. They don't produce medicines themselves, they are supplied. How the cure is distributed in the NHS is not the pharmaceutical company's problem, it's the UK government's. The pharma companies who have the cure would make even more money if the NHS decided everybody should get it - they would be lobbying for exactly that.
And it's not an unsolvable problem for a government either, you can just levy a new type of NI to cover it, I don't think people would have a qualm with that. If you do some quick maths, 0.5% get cancer in a year and 70% survive, so only 0.15% would need this cure (maybe less given a lot of those would be older people who are in end of life care and might not want it). Even if it cost £1m per person, it would still be less than a third of the pensions budget - so theoretically affordable, but would mean the average worker paying £100 a month more in tax. To basically be immune from cancer. Many would argue that sounds like a great deal and that is a worst case scenario and could decrease over time as the cost to produce it inevitably decreases.
Even making the most extreme assumptions, it's incredibly hard to see any scenario that could exist where this wouldn't be economic for workers, for governments, or for pharmaceutical companies. It's a straight up everybody wins scenario.
