No. I hear you.. I mean I don't pretend to know the science of all of it, just repeated what I heard.

Something stinks in Denmark and big pharma is the slimiest of them so I find it hard to put it past them.

If... IF... If I was inclined toward wanting to believe this conspiracy theory then this would be my first attempt at an hypothesis toward validating it:

Chemotherapy has come a long way since its origins. [This is a fact.]

Its success rate has climbed and its adverse effects have been abated. [Two facts.]

So let's say that Pharma Firma has spent so much money during the long process of developing these drugs [an obvious fact] that they're opting to continue these already established programs, instead of starting something (expensively) new.

They're banking that chemotherapy will ultimately prove as successful, if not more so, than this experimental drug in question.

In this light it's not that they don't care about curing cancer. It's that they believe they're already on the right track. (That they're so heavily invested obviously MIGHT sway their findings re the subject).

I could believe this. (Again, if I wanted to. I don't know enough to have an opinion). It all fits neatly with what I know, as well: the DNA & Mice experiments are, to my understanding, tied in heavily with current chemotherapies.
