There hasn’t been a “cure” for anything since polio. Too much money to be made.

The Salk and Sabin polio vaccines didn't cure polio.
They prevented it.

I’ve been amazed to see how large the medical research community has become, especially in places like Houston. Often wondered where all these people would work if they actually had to get a real job and not be funded by the never ending availability of research grants. Maybe they would have to discover some new diseases.

The only place that has had high results with treating childhood cancer is St Judes in Memphis. And it is FREE.

We do the ham radio operations during the Marathon every December. This frees up PD/EMT lines, when it is only a pooped out runner, we all in for a non ER pick up. Keep hydration, bathrooms, etc stocked for the route. This year’s was cancelled due to winter storms, that are not natural to the region. Colder than usual.
