re: #170 Alouette

How many actual “cures” have been discovered recently? Vaccines are a prevention, not a cure. Antibiotics used to be touted as a “cure” for bacterial infections, but now there is MRSA which is antibiotic resistant.

Actual cures are very difficult to find, because it’s just a pill, it’s not a nanomachine. The best that pharma can do is give your own body time and advantage.

Part of this problem is the media. They keep saying “New cure for X discovered!” and what they mean is a medication that will allow most people’s immune systems to beat X.
