It is. Some anti-vax idiots even go so far as to say most cancers are made up and they pump you full of chemo to keep you sick and sell you medication to treat the chemo sickness and those who die of cancer most likely die of chemo poisoning and not cancer

"That was just them punishing him for revealing the truth"

I assume this was in response to Wakefield losing his license. My rebuttal to that (though I know it won't help) is that Wakefield wasn't anti-vaxx, he was just opposed to a specific MMR vaccine and was trying to promote an alternative vaccine (which he happened to be financially invested in).

Ben Garrison?? posted:

The reason so many celebrities are harmed or killed by the cancer industry is quite simple: The cancer industry is a for-profit business. It makes money by treating cancer, not by curing or preventing cancer.

In fact, there's a huge difference between what the public see with cancer clinics vs. what really happens. The public image of the cancer industry is bright and cheery. "We save lives," they insist, and they claim to offer "support" for cancer survivors (which are more correctly called "chemotherapy survivors").

But behind closed doors, the real picture of the cancer industry is far more insidious. Cancer centers produce primarily two things: 1) Profits, and 2) Body bags (with cancer victims inside).

Cancer is a booming business. There's a ton of money to be made in screening for cancer, then causing cancer with the screening equipment, then diagnosing cancer and treating cancer. The purpose of conventional cancer treatments is not to eliminate the patient's disease, but rather to keep the patient alive long enough to receive a never-ending regimen of expensive, high-profit cancer treatments.

The cancer industry (the conventional cancer clinics, non-profits, drug companies, National Cancer Institute, etc.) flat-out refuses to recommend anti-cancer nutrients (like vitamin D) that could save hundreds of thousands of lives each year. They refuse to speak out against cancer-causing processed meats and carcinogenic chemicals in cosmetics personal care products. They cleverly avoid talking about the environmental causes of cancer, preferring to limit their criticism to only tobacco.

Meanwhile, they churn their gargantuan profit machines through a sea of cancer victims, plucking profits from the near-dead bodies of those they claim to treat. And when parents of teens refuse to subject their children to the chemotherapy poisons forced upon patients, Child Protective Services gets called, and the State kidnaps the children and forces them to be injected with chemotherapy.

(NaturalNews) Patrick Swayze's death came as a shock to many people. But not to his own cancer doctor: They know that the five-year survival rates of people being treated with chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer are virtually zero. And Swayze was only the latest in a long list of celebrities dying after being treated with chemotherapy and other toxic forms of western medicine:

Farrah Fawcett died following chemotherapy used to treat anal cancer and liver cancer. (https://www.naturalnews.com/026511_cancer_che...)

Famed newscaster Peter Jennings died from chemotherapy treatments for lung cancer.

Former White House press secretary Tony Snow died after receiving chemotherapy for colon cancer. (https://www.naturalnews.com/023626_cancer_che...)

Well poo poo, people with aggressive highly treatment-resistant cancer DIED? Must be the treatment that killed them!

There's room to criticize a for-profit healthcare system, sure, but "doctors haven't figured out a panacea to undo harmful runaway mutations in your somatic cells that have caused them to stop behaving how they're supposed to" isn't a reasonable one.

I still maintain the entire anti-vax movement stems from people who are scared of needles due to having the emotional maturity of toddlers. That's it, that's the entire reason, everything else is just elaborate flimsy justification for their cowardice. Every goddamn anti-vax screed inevitably gives it away with some "and then they JAB YOU with the DEATH SYRINGE" style comment. The creepily weeping stuck children in garrison's comic is just the visual variant.
