What is also frustrating is that some people are pressuring for more AIDS research, more government spending, etc. Unfortunately money given for AIDS can crowd out spending for other health and disease research.
Whereas this is no doubt true to some extent; much of the research for AIDS is not about American homosexuals but about Africans heterosexuals.
Not to say that preventing malaria would be equally effective, but the research money is not about helping THIS group of people and should not be confused as such. Ask Bill Gates.
