> Also interesting to note: so we can develop and approve vaccines for new diseases within months? It doesn't have to take 10 years if we really want to eradicate a disease? My conclusion: we're under-funding research in microbiology. "We" as in: the entire world.
Perhaps, perhaps not. This is far outside my field of expertise, but here is an analogy: the fact I released 9 games in 9 months a decade ago does not imply that all games can be coded, foley-ed, and art-ed, in one month by a junior developer with Eclipse, Photoshop Elements, Bryce, and Audacity.
I assume there are many diseases where the treatment is the equivalent of an indie platformer while others are the equivalent of a AAA-headliner and yet more are the equivalent of currently fictional games like The Oasis.
