    The craziest thing about this story is that no one - NOT ONE JOURNALIST - has asked "Hey, if this team doesn't have enough money to publish their findings, how are they going to CURE CANCER surely that's expensive research???" Seriously, it's totally wildhttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1090704380616073216 …

    The newest part of that cancer cure story, in which the researchers almost entirely walk back their claim to cure cancer and instead make the wild claim that they can't publish their research because it's too expensive THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS AT ALL https://www.timesofisrael.com/israelis-claiming-cancer-cure-say-they-cant-afford-to-publish-findings/amp/?__twitter_impression=true …

        Any journalists who follow me, I reckon there's a decent story in how this team managed to get global attention but also don't have the few hundred dollars necessary to put their work in a scientific journal

        Because this? (Reactions from a facebook page) . Do journalists want this kind of reactions in order to then find another headline grabbing story?pic.twitter.com/cS7xkXMFnL
