AIDS Popularity Leads to Unfair Disease Funding=20
=20
=20
In the race against curing diseases, is it a popularity contest? If you =
take a look at the funding distributions of the National Institutes of =
Health (NIH), you'd probably say "without question."
=20
Whether you or a loved one have been diagnosed with a life-threatening =
disease or not, one can hardly ignore the staggering statistics on =
disease funding by the NIH. Almost 2.8 billion dollars are going to AIDS =
research in 2003, while 16 other diseases - which kill many thousands =
more Americans than AIDS yearly - are only receiving a small fraction of =
the government's dollars. =20
=20
AIDS has become the "in" disease. Support among the Hollywood elite, =
politicians and the wealthy has become almost a fad.=20
=20
The AIDS activists don't want you to know their disease is no longer =
epidemic in the USA and they continue to press for more funding - and to =
their credit, their efforts have accomplished phenomenal feats in the =
fight against AIDS. Just look at the numbers - deaths from AIDS have =
plummeted 72% in the USA since 1995. That's why it's time to redirect =
funding to diseases that are more deserving and currently receiving =
millions, or even billions, less than AIDS.
=20
For example, diabetes kills more Americans than AIDS and breast cancer =
combined, yet the NIH is spending $5,500 on every patient identified as =
having AIDS while spending $70 on each diabetic. And heart disease - =
which strikes over 700,000 yearly compared to 14,132 from AIDS - =
receives almost =BE of a Billion dollars less than AIDS.
=20
Funding needs to be fair and equitable for all diseases. The NIH must =
look at prorating funds based on a disease's mortality rate, and as a =
secondary factor, degree of suffering. The disease that kills the most =
Americans should get the most research funding, and so on.
=20
This issue is especially sensitive in our country, which is very tuned =
into the world of AIDS. But when the AIDS death rate in newly infected =
patients has dropped 97% in the state of California, it's time to start =
congratulating AIDS organizations for their successes while shifting =
research dollars from AIDS to diseases like lung disease, prostate =
disease, Alzheimer's Disease, brain disease and diabetes.
