This is conspiracy theory. The US does fund a lot of research into rare diseases, which would never be economical to research otherwise. There are only so many dollars to go around, obviously, and research into common diseases has the potential to help more people.
- ethanbond 4y agoIf anything, research into effective treatments for common diseases is underfunded. It’s obviously bad news to have a rare disease, but it’s frankly astounding that we still don’t have rock solid effective knowledge* for how to maintain effective diets. * “Move more eat less” or CICO don’t count since people have been saying this forever, people have been attempting it forever, and people fail at it at extremely high rates, so it’s definitionally not effective.
