Share of people who believe that government is hiding a cure for cancer
A conspiracy theory claiming that a cure for cancer already exists but is being deliberately hidden from the public remains surprisingly widespread across Europe.
According to a Eurobarometer survey, majorities in several countries, including Turkey and the Balkans, believe that a cure for cancer exists but is concealed by commercial interests. In contrast, fewer than 10% of respondents in the Nordics agreed with the statement.
There is no evidence that a universal cure for cancer exists and is being hidden. Researchers point out that cancer is not a single disease but a large group of diseases requiring different treatments, making the idea of a single secret cure highly implausible.
