i get annoyed that discovering antibiotics convinced humans they could cure cancer (which tbf we’ve made very good progress on but man the hubris on display there lmao)

I didn't/don't understand the connection to antibiotics but that's a really good point about cancer.
"Cure" does seem like entirely the wrong concept.
I think the book Emperor of Maladies had some good tidbits the amount of gvt money allocated to cancer research soon after the antibiotics miracle happened, it was staggering
