'specially since CVD is the #1 cause of death

That's because of the overwhelming amount of fat and unhealthy people in this country.

I'm starting to think that McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy's has killed more people than the holocaust.

I guarantee if people ate healthy and excercised regularly, heart disease related deaths would deacrease by atleast 50% in 20 years.

Not always , blood transfusions have infected many people.

and what % of those infected got it from a transfusion?

i think unprotected anal sex is far more dangerous than being a hemophiliac.

I'd sue which ever place transfused the blood into me on grounds of neglect and failure to properly screen and detect the virus. They'd go down in a ball of flames.

Amazing just amazing .

You know how much money was spent on aids research under regan , bush sr and bush jr ?
Not only in the usa but in africa and south america with american money ?
when you come back with the magic numbers get back with me.

What is so bad with demo's wanting to cure things, fund schools and pay police and firefighter a decent pay .
Just becuase demos like to spend money on humanitarian efforts and domestic problems does not make them any less of a person

I have never understood why AIDS gets so much funding. I have also never understood the incentive to find a cure for any of the major killers when 'partially successful' drugs are so much more profitable.

Want to find a cure for AIDS? Infect alot of very rich and powerful straight married white men and their kids with it.

Drug Companies are in the Top 5 of lobbyists in Washington. Clearer to understand budgets when you follow the lobbying tree.

That's okay, Obama and McCain care about you folks America!!

Yeah, maybe then they'll spend some government research dollars on it!

I don't think there will be a vaccine or permanent solution for Heart Disease. There can be prevention, and even then, most will likely die of cancer or stroke anything, both of which are unlikely to be vaccinated against.

AIDS, on the otherhand, is a virus, and we've successfully immunized ourselves from many viruses that killed large proportions of the population throughout human history.
