It seems to me that it is way easier to get funding for medical research vs straight up biology. That might be wrong.
Biology is what all of medical research eventually hinges on and any significant breakthrough in biology tends to make vast swaths of medical science irrelevant and in a sense a waste of money.
It is super easy to contribute to the search for treatments for particular diseases but how do you contribute to the fundamental research that ultimately fixes problems?

So you're effectively mistaking a type II error for a type I error in your argument.
