    Technically, the amount of russians dying from cancer has gone down. This of course goes hand in hand with a rise in acute lead poisoning in Ukraine.

      Death is definitely one way to cure someone’s cancer.

        This is not correct. It’s common for modern ammunition to be jacketed with copper or some other metal, but the core is still lead (or lead-tin alloy) because it’s cheap, dense and soft enough to form into the rifling grooves while traveling down the barrel. Only special-purpose bullets are made with other metals.
