2/ Yet cancer statistics don’t get a fraction of the attention Covid statistics have gotten, and for a reason. Food & chemical companies, Big Ag and all environmental polluters should be held accountable for the massive amounts of carcinogens in our food, air, water & pesticides.

There is no viable business model in curing disease. The real money is prolonging illness and charging expensive rate for treatments for symptoms, not universal good health. #MedicareForAll

For heaven's sake. Chronic illness is one of the prices we pay for *living longer*. Entropy is a sad fact of life.
