We can certainly talk about bias though. This kid was receiving cannabis oil, a substance that a limited number of studies indicate may help treat cancer. At the same time he was receiving chemotherapy, a regimen that for the last few generations has proven itself to be one of the most successful methods for treating and "curing" cancer ever found. Science is assuming the "cure" was the chemo; bias is assuming it was the oil.

I think if you ask a lot of people, at least some would say that chemo killed someone they loved. You need to be a little less convinced you have all the answers.
