OcelotWhat is a topic you know a lot about that the media often gets terribly wrong?
Chemistry, and science in a broader sense. When you hear ‘woah a new medicine has been found that could cure cancer’ it’s most likely 'we have developed a new gadolinium based compound that has shown efficiency in penetrating cancer cells and could be used to deliver drugs to these areas, however it has not been tested in humans because it kills rats faster that it cures cancer"
Almost every science headline was written by someone who never understood science. They just translate some foreign languagedinto words that suits them.
ZakThings that kill cancer include:
- Fire
- Polonium
- High-test peroxide
- Most strong acids
- Chlorine
Of course, they also kill everything else.
empireOfLoveOf courses that’s what radiation + chemotherapy does too. The whole goal is for the treatment to kill the cancer faster than it kills the human.
