It's such a bizarre claim. A close friend of mine had testicular cancer in his 30s. He had chemo and surgery and there has been no reappearance of cancer over 10 years later. He isn't on pharmaceuticals for life. The cancer is essentially cured. Based on this conspiracy theory, chemotherapy would have been suppressed.
Awesome! That's so great for him. And yes, chemo (and surgery and radiation) are more and more becoming silver bullets that either solve the problem "immediately," or don't work and transition directly into palliative care.
There's a lot of sketchy stuff in pharmaceuticals, so it's kind of odd to me that this one thing that's patently untrue if you just think about it for a minute is what's caught on.
