Primary reason people die young is NOT cancer, as awful as rare conditions like childhood leukemia are The main killers of kids and youths in the world are still infectious diseases -- malaria, TB, parasites -- and malnutrition

And we HAVE the "cures" for those things -- antibiotics, vaccines, vitamins, mosquito nets They're pretty cheap, too, it's just that lots of people in the world are really fucking poor
