Gruff 2,778 Report post Posted August 8, 2019 I’ve always wondered where the hundreds of millions PLUS dollars goes for finding the cure for cancer ? With that sort of funding how is it pharmaceutical companies can compete for answers,come up with something that may help ,and charge fellow human beings rates they cannot afford knowing they will die otherwise? Ripping people off is the domain of Bankers, not of those ‘trying’ to save lives surely Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
