What Conspiracy Theories Do You Believe In?

Putin died of cancer a few days ago my mate has heard . Hopefully it's not a theory

Walked into the tip of an umbrella was what I heard.

I've scanned through the whole thread and can't believe no one has said the cancer cure one yet.

I believe a cure for at least some forms of cancer has been identified but is being kept from the public. We know enough about giant pharmaceutical companies to know their is no way they would give up the billions it costs to treat cancer rather than cure it.

It's an interesting one. It staggers me that we can land man made satellites on meteors hurtling through the universe but we can't find a cure for cancer.

@malg predicting that we will draw 1-1 each game has a direct impact on our results.

Eammon Holme is illuminati.

It's the only reason I could think of why that talentless rag Cnut is on tele.

You mean he glows in the dark!?

I used to love a good conspiracy theory , I found some like the moon being fake even thought provoking and a example that an argument could be made against pretty much everything we know to be true. Then the internet happened and people started to take them all seriously and buy into every one of them that gets banded about.

I do believe my TV is listening to me however.

If the moon isn't real then reports of Elvis driving a bus there must also be fake!

Early diagnosis, emergency ileostomy, treatment, medication… I’m still here.

Survival rates are well up.

That’s because cancer - while we talk about it in this singular fashion - isn’t one illness. It’s an enormous range of literally hundreds of illnesses impacting different cells, organs, genes etc. Some of these we have very efficacious treatments for that allow us to cure in the vast majority of instances but others are much harder to treat. Testicular cancer has a 98% survival rate, pancreatic cancer is more like 1%. And these survival rates are getting better all the time. Often rarer forms are more dangerous because we have a lower volume of people to trial treatments on.

It’s not much different to the reason we haven’t cured the common cold. Because that would require finding treatments which work on hundreds of different bacterial and viral strains.

Landing a specific satellite on a specific meteor is one singular (very hard) problem to solve. A universal cure for cancer is more like building a thousand satellites that can all land successfully on a thousand very different meteors.
