I'm a simpleton when it comes to matters of disease, but from
experience Cancer is an evil, horrible cunt. Why there has never been the same reaction to it as we had for Covid is beyond my simple mind to comprehend.

Global cancer research is getting billions in funding. A quick Google shows the US alone is spending about 2.7% of it's GDP on cancer research. That's a greater proportion than they spent on the Moon landings.

Degenrative diseases get much less mainstream covfefe
Because they're not new in humans, are slow to develop, and the number of cases doesn't fluctuate as dramatically as in a pandemic. They also lack the social aspect of a contagious disease. It's a different story with science news feeds, where cancer research generates dozens of headlines daily.

Cancer is just your DNA malfunctioning because it is compromised or degraded in some way.
If you live long enough, you are 100% guaranteed to get it.

Could be argued that we get it all the time.
Luckily the immune system can usually deal with it. Everybody has tumours, unfortunately some of them prove to be malignant or interfere with organs.
