Hmmm I've seen this before it only ends 3 ways
Happy ending - we all live cancer free
Status quo - some jerk falsifies data or destroyed source material somehow all in order to prevent us from having nice things and pay more premiums.
Bad end - some sort of pandemic like where we all turn into cats.
“Bad” end?
Being a cat without humans to cater my every need would suck.
Probably the existing cats would turn into humans
I think if dogs became humans it would work out but cats?
Hmm.... so I started a list and I think it will also be status quo. Lol
how is the last one a bad ending?
Imagine all the empty bowls
then we assemble hunting parties meow
Status quo for sure. What diseases has the human race cured in the last 15 years? Too much money involved keeping people sick.
Aids
Controlling HIV/AIDS is not curing the disease. Just making you a life long user of drugs. Which just pumps money into the system.

"There's no cure for HIV/AIDS. But medicines can control the infection and keep the disease from getting worse. Antiviral treatments for HIV have reduced AIDS deaths around the world. There's an ongoing effort to make ways to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS more available in resource-poor countries."

This is great if it actually works and gets to the masses. In the article you posted, though......
An estimated 1.2 million people in the United States have HIV, for which there is no cure or vaccine, and 4,941 people in the U.S. die each year from AIDS, the disease caused by HIV, according to HIV.gov. Worldwide, there are 39.9 million people living with HIV, and 630,000 deaths from HIV-related illnesses each year, according to the World Health Organization. Standard treatment for HIV involves taking daily antiretroviral therapy that stops the virus from making new copies of itself and from spreading. Antiviral medicines must be taken long term, and they carry short- and long-term side effects, whereas a gene therapy would require as little as one dose.
Oh totally, im not saying that people arent suffering and there isnt access yet (and rfk pulling gene therapy research) but us isnt the only country so i hope the research is picked up else where. But there does appear to be a cure.
