I would say Bill's charitable intentions are laudable, and $10 million ought to be enough for anybody. But I think he's been taken in a bit by PC thinking when it comes to allocation of the charitable funds. Developing countries - and the world at large, for that matter - face many health crises more serious than AIDS, and most of them are getting nowhere near the attention from the scientific community that AIDS is getting. TB kills far more people, spreads more easily, and is developing drug-resistant strains faster than we develop new drugs. Of course it doesn't get into the first-world news much, so researchers (and charitable groups) tend to ignore it. When we have to deal with an incurable disease that is spread by coughing, we may regret the oversight.
