Republicans are pro-cancer.
Makes sense. They’ve been pro-COVID for the last four years.
Most of them have brain cancer so it checks out.
Hah, so Republicans are pro-cancer, who would have thought…
They ARE the cancer, so its just self-preservation
Suffering costs people money. Cancer care costs about $200 billion dollars a year. Who in their right mind would cure cancer when it’s so profitable??? /s
Pretty much this. It’s this-quarter thinking: if we develop a cure, what are the profits gonna look like this quarter. Not next quarter, not in 3 years when it’s proven effective and sells on the market like hotcakes, this quarter. Short-term profit-seeking is killing us all.
The money’s in the treatment, not in the cure
We are getting very close to excellent treatments while also multiplying our knowledge base. Now is the time to step on the financial gas. But, we won’t, and private business will reap the benefits.
The republicans want china to be first, obviously.
This was supposed to be the illness that everyone could agree is bad. Up is down. Sick? Fuck you, I have to own the libs.
I wonder if the conservatives would vote differently with a Republican president? Shameful either way, blaming it on cutting entitlements.
First, stop calling it a “moonshot.” That only bolsters the Republican argument. They’d used the word at least 25 times before I got far enough into the article to know they weren’t talking about experiments in space. Experiments a reasonable person might think it could be reasonable to cut.

It sounds like the issue is you don’t know an idiom then…
“Moonshot” is something that sounds impossible, but doesn’t mean it is impossible.

Lol, someone is cranky because they didn’t know what moonshot meant.
Poor education. Short temper. Sounds Republican.
Not knowing something isn’t a big deal, responding like that to someone who explains something tho…
Someone’s mother didn’t pack them a snack ack this morning. Take a nap and try again. You’re grumpy.
Removed, civility.
You’re talking to kids aping the derision they hear the pol pundits use. You’re not going to get actual replies, just canned, vaguely relevant snark sounds to cover for their confusion. They’re not ready to discuss manufactured consent here.
Thank you. At least they’re making it easy to know who to block.
