I think it is fair to say that most people discussing Madagascar here, have no conception of how it is like to live there.

It seems none of the people that posted here understood the intention of my comment: The parent comment by ChadNauseam implies that Madagascar citizens somehow would not benefit from cancer research (they would!), which could only be true if they don't get cancer. In my comment I pointed out this last end of this logical chain of conclusions to show how ridiculous the parents' post was.

Nope, just no treatment (not fact checked of course, but it sounds likely that they wouldn't get top notch treatment that an average person say in Western Europe could expect)

Well given the periwinkle was found there, not entirely without merit.
