It's also worth considering that all the people involved in cancer research aren't a big faceless entity we can easily refere to as "them". Every researcher out there, working in the labs and even at home to find a cure, are human beings who went into this to try to help people. It's easy to imagine mass cover ups when you refere to the pharamceutical/medical industries as "they", it's not so easy when you realize that there's several companies, tens of thousands of researchers, and they all hold individual thoughts. You can't very shut up each and every one of the people researching this stuff for love of dear profit, somebody is going to flip them the bird and bring that cure to the first company, hell even the first herbalist, who realises they could make a huge profit with a monopoly on the cure for cancer. You simply can't shut them all up. Heck, the DEA still can't shut up Alexander Shulgin!
