You need to give up on your anger. Don't get mad, get even. Let it go.
Developing solutions and cures removes them from power.
Knowledge is power. It is more constructive. I have been there too. But as an engineer one learns to take the assumptions, and still find a solution.
There is always a way to solve the problem.
Yes, it is true some people do not do their jobs. Some people practice politics. Some people misinform, twist, or distort the truth. Little things like calling infections neglected tropical diseases. Total lie. The term neglected tropical disease is a WHO term, it means less than 1% of the budget is allocated towards finding a solution. It is not a feasibility term, it is a budget term.
So reality is that it is up to us.
Researchers get it, that is why some of them work so hard.
I get it. I have spent thousands of hours educating others on what I know, through research, curing my own infections, and helping others.
Just because one political group like the CDC does not get it, does not mean we should not be human beings and get on with our effort to get cured.
