I wonder how much of that 42 billion is duplicating each other's work due to competitive/secrecy concerns.
That wouldn't be an issue with this initiative, and I think it's very significant that they're partnering with academia on this.

So you could pay for this centre for 15 years with Zucks money. Hardly enough time to treat all diseases or even "just" cancer, and I can assure you, we are not slacking off.
