So there is no reason, why all 300 million people in America shouldn't get this treatment right now, in case they have cancer? All at once preferably.

If a DOCTOR (key word) diagnosis you with cancer, then YES. Otherwise, no your time would be better spent doing something else. May I suggest a hobby? Perhaps building strawmen?

Ngl, the strawman joke was pretty funny.
