59. Not to mention the fact that if it EVER
came out that some company cured cancer but hid the research there would be a HUGE scandal.

Can you imagine the vitriol the world would direct at the CEO and board members? A company that cured cancer but hid the cure would go bankrupt the second anyone EVER got wind of it. Even ten years down the line.

A U.S. president, for those of you who don't remember, was forced to resign when the handful of people he picked to carry out an illegal operation couldn't keep it to themselves. If the most trustworthy people Nixon could find weren't trustworthy enough to keep their mouths shut do you really think "big pharma" would be able to silence every CEO, board member, researcher, distributor, and janitor on the pay roll? I think it's a fundamental rule of human nature that the probability of a group of people keeping your secret is inversely proportional to the number of people in the group.

Q3JR4.
