One of the few deadly diseases on the planet that is almost entirely preventable. Amazing isn't it. Billions for something that any reasonable person would take action not to get. Amazes me no end. And also amazing is the way the public has taken up the banner, like this could happen to all of us any moment.

"Billions for something that any reasonable person would take action not to get."

Right. My mother is suffering from Alzheimer's but I guess research on this is low priority. Probably because these folks are old and don't have as much to "offer" as the wealthy gay lobby. While not likely to get AIDS, many of us will eventually end up with some form of dementia.
