I work in a research institute on the same floor as a group that is dedicated to finding a vaccination for tuberculosis. I really wish some of you could meet these people and see the passion that they have for reducing human suffering. They are not out to make money at all.
I totally agree that there are MANY MANY issues of social justice that desperately need addressing. Tonight I was at an event listening to some former child soldiers from Uganda. What a challenge to meet the needs in that country. Totally onboard with Onyx's point- how much are we willing to sacrifice to see things change. Yes governments need to take action but so do we all.
In terms of what is a better use of money- disease control or food and water? well I think they are all crucial. This money all comes from different places from people with different passions- lets welcome any program that reduces suffering in developing nations.
