Ever used the search function to find other links on the topic, Thich?
There's already one or two relating to vaccinations and other medical conspiracies; was there one in particular you wanted to discuss here?

What I'm trying to get across is that the corporations know full well what's going on, but they work to benefit themselves financially, not for our health. And the government just let's them do it because they know the mind-numbing type of effects it probably has. Sorry I wasn't too clear.

It's been known for a long time that chemicals can directly contribute to disease - including some cancers.
We've known for many years that asbestos is a direct cause of mesothelioma (a rare type of lung cancer); we know that DES (diethystilbestrol, a synthetic hormone given to many pregnant women in the 60s and 70s) exposure greatly increases the risk of a rare cancer of the vagina or cervix called clear cell adenocarcinoma. Benzene exposure increases your risk of AML (a type of leukaemia); formaldehyde is linked to brain and nasopharyngeal cancers; and there are links between certain pesticides and the incidence of lymphoma.
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to get across here?
That companies are deliberately trying to cause cancer?

Cancer is big business for certain portions of the medical industry. Many a doctor or medical worker makes a living off treating and attempting to cure all the various forms of cancer that afflict human populations.
If some person found a cure for cancer, would you think that this industry which thrives from cancer simply cluse up shop and retire? Not without a fight, they wouldn't.
Would the tens of thousands of doctors and professionals who deal with millions of cases of cancer each year really WANT that business to dry up overnight if the cure were found? Or, do they have a vested interest in making cancer as widespread and common as possible? Call me crazy, but if I were a high paid medical worker who makes his or her living off cancer-ridden masses, I'd say the gig is good and, therefore, so is cancer.
One mans cancer is another mans treasure.
What do you think?
