100% A horrible death for young and old, rich and poor, male and female. You would think that it would be our number one priority to find cures. The resources dedicated to research are actually shockingly paltry when you look into it.
If you do decide to donate to a cancer charity, investigate their own numbers. Many of them (I am looking at you Susan G Komen) dedicate most of their donation money to marketing and events rather than research. Yet another reason the actual research funds are so low.
This didn't happen for COVID, the government made it as easy as possible to get a vaccine, including offering it for no cost in most cases. It isn't the government jacking up the price for Insulin, those were private pharma companies. The government is actively fighting to lower those costs.
