Funding for Cancer Research
Chris McCashin made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Chris McCashin to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Chris McCashin
Dear Ministry of Health,
Can you please provide the following
- total amount of money provided per annum for Cancer research from 2000 - 2025
- organisation money was given too
- date given
- amount of money
- scope for the work / title of the project
- point person at the organisation
I see we now have cancers sky rocketing which is actually from the Covid-19 vaccine and now widely documented including the 8m person study in South Korea - in addition can you also state if anyone at Ministry of Health has received a copy of this study?
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PM...
If not you now have it - note this only a one year study and given every other day I am made aware of someone I know that has cancer the long term stats must be atrocious.
This calls into a question a couple of things. Depending how much money has been provided for cancer research it appears a bottomless pit with the researchers clearly being incompetent as suspect the money is in the billions. So when does this funding stop given zero tangible results in 25 years and likely longer with cancer numbers going the other way.
And Ministry of Healths inability to be agile and act on published studies showing outcomes from such things as COVID vaccines and other treatments having the opposite effect.
I for one would rather have Covid / a cold as opposed to Cancer…
Please provide at earliest convenience and don’t ask for an extension as this is an easy response.
Yours faithfully,
Chris
