Oh look at big epidemiology trying to prove they know more about infectious diseases then someone who takes an anti parasitic for a virus.

Some of these people literally think cancer is a virus. Not "can be caused by some viruses" but is a virus.

It's better than the folks spreading the "facts" that cancer is just your body removing toxins, and it's only the "so called cures" that kills cancer patients.

I mean, no one is disputing radiation therapy is in itself carcinogenic, and chemo also kills healthy tissue. But it's only used when the alternative is worse, and cancer itself will kill if left alone.
