This Chart Shows The Worst Diseases That Don't Get Enough Research Money

We have already covered this topic several times on LW, but what prompted me to link this was this remark:

Of course, where research dollars flow isn't —and shouldn't be— dictated simply in terms of which diseases lay claim to the most years, but also by, perhaps most importantly, where researchers see the most potential for a breakthrough.

[Edit: a former, dumber version of me had asked, "I wonder what criterion the author would prefer," before the correct syntax of the sentence was pointed out to me.]

Opinions?

Opinions?

The fact that the disease was first detected in the gay community is only attributable to the marginalization they already lived in.

And yet the disease has never broken into the straight community, despite decades of predictions that it was on the verge of doing so.

Whoa, déjà vu.

I have a prediction...

EDIT not overwhelmingly likely given further examination.
