The pandemic showed us otherwise. Even when we cure all these diseases+aging, they will still persist for a while due to the fact people will refuse treatment.

Altered Carbon, Upload and Black Mirror’s San Junipero episode kind of delve into this position. Even when we have cures for everything, luddites will refuse treatment for conspiratorial, tradition or religious reasons.

Like the other poster said, more for us then.

Cancer is a hell of a lot scarier than COVID.

You’re really underestimating how much they actually reject truth and fact for bullshit. I’m one of the most optimistic people on this subreddit when it comes to progress, but even I know people will refuse medical treatment for nonsensical reasons.

I’ve seen discussions related to this on 4Chan and Facebook, both when it comes to aging and cancer, it’s always some Zeitgeist shit where they think the government or wealthy want to kill people or give them the disease they say they’re going to cure to cull the population.

needs to be tested on with more than 8 mice and no humans like with the booster. also big pharma needs to be liable for any vaccine injuries and not immune. no hidden safety results for 75 years either.

And that doesn't matter to someone who thinks Homeopathy is a panacea and "when done right" can cure their cancer right then and there.

The same people who refuse a cancer vaccine are the same who'd fall hook line and sinker for 'alternative' medicine snake oil cures for that same ghastly illness.
