The obvious question is : given all of the facts presented why is a multi-billion industry stuffed with the finest minds and equipment that can be bought or found carry on in apparent defiance of reason?
I see three explanations. First the pharma/cancer industry is a giant conspiracy working against the health and needs of cancer patients everywhere. Second, for some dreadful reason none of the brilliant minds working ceaselessly day and night have noticed these facts so far. They haven't read the studies and have been unable to parse the evidence, data science (counting) to the rescue. Third, there are other facts and knowledge which the author and readers external to the industry are not privy to, possibly because acquiring them required seven years of medical school followed by twenty years of biomedical research.
