The Sum of our Inaction

[Minoshia]

20 i seriously disagree with everything you say about not needing Funding to help fight aids. Think about 36 billion dollars, that is well enough to help poverty, HIV/AIDS research and The Avian Flu research. If we all get going and do something, then a cure will be found quicker. Yes the Avian Flu is threatening us at a more rapid rate, and it will kill us off quicker, the influenza of 1918 killed something like 20-40 million people? i wanna say, i could be way off. And they are predicting the Avian Flu, to kill two, maybe 3 times as many as that. Which is a incredible threat and i fully agree that main attention has to be focused on that.

May i stress main attention, mankind can focus on more then two, or three, damned things at once. We can throw a shitload of money, (or you seem to think none at all would be a better approac) at the Avian Flu and develop a cure quickly, and save millions of lives. But why can't we also put money into helping fight Aids. 40 million people, the maximum that died in 1918 influenza, have it today. (as Koola stated) but the total deaths related to and directly caused by HIV/AIDS are uncountable. Way more then anyone has predicted for the Avian Flu. To say that we should not put funding into finding a cure for HIV/AIDS, is downright ignorant and stubborn. You are completely looking over one of the, if not the biggest, killer of mankind in the last 30 years. We need to find a cure for HIV/AIDS as soon as we can.
