Is Big Pharma hiding the cure for cancer? No but someone else is*
The rise of antiscience and why Big Wellness is hiding cures
TLDR: There is unlikely to be a promising cure or new management that would be completely buried (even if delayed)by for profit pharmaceuticals, due to a mix of diverse stakeholders, non profits in the space, and ‘first to beat’ reasoning. Pharmaceuticals are villified more than alternative medicines despite having documents side effects and processes rather than the potential for harm from unlicensed herbal, supplemental and other forms, plus branches such as chiropractics, naturopathy, homeopathy and more are being conflated as ‘leaning into lifestyle changes’ rather than for their pseudoscientific origins, blurring the lines between science as a process and science as an entity to attack. Historically, scientists and clinicians have done a bad job (through many factors) of representing these diverse cultures and voices, but alternative medicine should not have a seat at the table as it does more harm than good.
How is this?
