No, it’s nothing like that.

I won’t even get into the irony of you not realizing that not all forms of diabetes are related to insulin (diabetes insipidus) while simultaneously claiming that you don’t need to be a doctor to be qualified enough to make complex medical decisions.

In the first place, the analogy is wrong. You need insulin, you need blood sugar. Both SHOULD be present. Cancer never SHOULD be present, it just happens to be there often, like any other thing your body clears out.

Edit: the word “diabetes” originally comes from a word meaning “to pass through”. Literally the only thing linking all diabetic conditions is needing to pee a lot

That's amazing, and also totally misses the point, but I guess it let's you keep feeling smug, so that's a plus. If you’re aiming for the full "ackchyually guy" meme, mission accomplished. Meanwhile you’re not touching the core of my argument: we’ve already seen what happens when you lecture people to “trust the science” instead of actually engaging with them. They just go vote for someone who will talk to them, and that’s exactly how you end up with a Kennedy in charge.

Chill out...the most condescending comment here by far is yours, and the "well ackchually" that sent the thread of the rails is your comparison between cancer cells and needing insulin. If you don't want people to poke holes in an analogy like that don't make it.

This entire comment is you whining, but not clarifying whatever point you seem to think I've missed. I'm happy to engage with you, if you have something of substance to add?
