Six Words: Defeat, Accurate, Publicity, Familiar, Replace, Sickness
Scientific research and pharmaceutical companies have made great strides in defeating familiar and even unfamiliar sicknesses. When a new vaccine or drug is developed for a medical condition, it usually gets a lot of publicity. For chronic conditions, the publicity often comes from the drug manufacturers, trying to recoup and profit from their discovery, as well as to help the people impacted by the malady.
It would not be accurate to say that we have defeated disease. We’re lucky to have brilliant minds working on treating more of them, but sadly, as we’ve seen recently with vaccines, too many people are currently attacking the scientists and scientific institutions. How many people are discouraged from entering those fields? How much progress is being delayed?
