I'm really not suggesting active suppression, but rather simple, Occam-compliant inaction. COVID19, for example, is not really the first of its kind - just the first that was clearly going to produce profits if addressed. And lo, magically, it was.

Mine was not a conspiracy-innuendo, but rather a simple critique of profit-driven research in health-related sciences. Humans can do wonderful things when they work together, so it's rather sad that we seem to do that only when there are riches on the line.
