Why force those two to compete, uberman? assuming your stat is correct, both seem like amazing good ROI, compared to what we spend most of our money on? The below lancet study (2023) puts a the cost of creating a marginal year of life in the US at >$95K https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/langlo/PIIS2214-109X(23)00162-6.pdf https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/langlo/PIIS2214-109X... so whether its $1k, or $4k, those both sound good! So while I wouldn't assume anything about what a country might do, I might hope that we might spend our money on things that have evidence of saving lives, without unreasonable expense.

The unfortunate reality is that foreign aid is all but defunct, particularly when it co.e to Africa and if the usa is only willing to spend 1000 per victim to combat opiod deaths then I see little chance that they would spend 4x that to save African malaria victims. I'm not saying this is a good thing only that it seems like reality at the moment.
