Of course, if they put as much effort into working on a cancer cure as they have on curing the dreaded limp-noodle syndrome we would all be better off.
Doesn't your first statement disprove your 2nd?

I should have been clearer.
The discovered the "side effect" of the possible cancer treatment was a mega-stiffy, and put all their energy into processing the drug for that side effect, not the cancer treatment.
It tends to be a pharmacuetical company going where the big money is.
They can sell hard on pills to many more so-called erectile dysfunction patients than they could sell a cancer treatment to cancer sufferers. It's just "business".
They pump out hundreds if not thousands of idiotic treatments for ailments that "are all in the patients' heads" so that we will all become a pill popping nation.
"We don't find the cure, we only treat the disease."

You want more concrete proof? Try reading the list of "side effects" that new drugs warn you about. If the "possible" side effects are worse than the original illness, where is the benefit?
