Why is the US spending so much money on AIDS research

[bbx56]

 In 2014 (the latest year for which data are available), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says, there were 6,721 deaths directly attributable to HIV. That’s close to the number of Americans who choke to death each year — about 5,000.

Meanwhile HIV/AIDS continues to absorb an outrageous portion of the US federal research budget, robbing many diseases that are actually killing lots of people. HIV/AIDS spending per person is about 20 times more than cancer spending — and, stunningly, more than 40 times more per death.

Or prove HIV doesn't cause AIDS, amiright?

 

[SpeareChucker]

Yes, it is part of solidarity, HIV is what kills you...

Well...we can't look at cancer because that wouldn't be so good for the economy.

Our food/drinks are toxic, hard to attack those things...people like their Mt.Dew and Monster Energy drinks.

Which are all about as healthy as cigarettes.

But no warning labels.....which I support.

Yeah pretty much. The shit people put into their bodies while bitching about being fat and sick is just amazing.
The energy drinks and sugary sodas alone are so bad that it defies logic that they sell so well. It's like people are trying to kill themselves slowly.

They have to cure it so the masses can be allowed to indulge in their basic desires without consequence. Because when people are busy busting nuts and stuffing their vaginas, they don't pay attention to what really matters.
