Should cancer research funds be shifted elsewhere?

So Biden says he's going to cure cancer.  
In Obama's last month in office, he signs a bill funding cancer research $6.3 billion in taxpayer dollars to further the search for the cure.  Wouldn't government spending be more productive elsewhere?

She told the whole family NEVER give to Cancer Research.
It is a Fraud.
Like the Biden Cancer Research Foundation and many more are Employers, they use the Donations to pay themselves.
Others Never spend a Dime on "Research", they waste the money on patient CARE, family expenses, and wages for the fund raisers.

Think about it. IF you were hired to find a cure, and you knew your job would End if you did. Would you find a cure?
Example: SALK VACCINE, how many workers were redundant when it was found, how many industries shut down because their product (braces, iron lungs, etc) were no longer needed.

So much for the "pro" life stance. I wonder if you'd feel like those funds should be shifted elsewhere if you got cancer...

Such as where? 
I'm guessing you've never loved or even known a cancer patient.
