The eradication of this disease has cost $250 million so far and needs another $60 million, they say, to get rid of it for good. Is it possible to get rid of a disease like this 100%? If this can be done, $60 million seems like a small price to pay to get rid of it. The people suffering the most from this one disease in particular are located in the most poor areas of the Sudan. It may be very important to get rid of this disease now because of the possibilities of it spreading to the US, but if it is contained there over there, we have some of our own problems in this country. The cases have dropped from 3.5 million to less than 1,000 per year. With the cases that low are there not more important things. I understand the logic that the people who are cured our that never get this disease will be more productive members of society. That makes sense. More productive people means a more productive economy which could be the hidden benefit to the US. Also, our benefit is that we can use the resources that were used for this disease in other places where they are needed more. We can focus on more pressing issues.
Multiple Myleoma affects 20.000 people each year. These are new cases in addition to all the cases that already existed. The support for the search for cures of these horrible disease are often determined by how famous or how rich the person is that is trying to get the message out there and trying to get others involved involved in the cause. In Durham, the Multiple mylenoma situation is involving a furniture salesman. He is donating 9 furniture suits or something close to that. Not quite $250 million. It is sad that certain people get passionate about random things, often that are weird to say the least, and there celebrity determines the attention the cause will get.
