I agree that research needs to continue. An effective vaccine or another form of treatment could potentially be developed in the future. Bacteria/viruses/and other microorganisms have been around forever and have an amazing ability to survive despite our best efforts to eliminate them. A very small percentage of diseases have been completely eradicated.That's great info. Thank you.
My point was more that the pharmaceutical science could be there in the future. It obviously has its challenges or we wouldn't be having this discusson. Deciding that a pharmaceutical treatment is not the answer could be a self fulfilling move.
Unfortunately the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by publicly traded companies whose primary focus is profit-not necessarily better science. There are many old/inexpensive drugs on the market that have good potential to treat major diseases but don’t get research dollars because there isn’t an opportunity to get huge returns on investment.
