So like 3-4 people now keep saying this and not a single one is able to reproduce a single piece of actual research.

No it's not too much to ask when someone says the reason HIV treatment didn't make headway is because the people affected weren't of privilege.

If you think HIV was ignored as a disease until the early 90s just because it didn't affect straight people or 'privilaged' people,whoever they are, that's a pretty dumb assumption, which i can maybe be swayed to believe if a single one of you actually showed it to be true with independent research.


When literally everyone is saying there's something fundamentally wrong with the way you're approaching this maybe it's time to stop thinking you know more than everyone

I can't care less that 4 people have a SWJ-compatible perspective on something, i have no problem being the minority in my beliefs. I know in 2020 it's fashionable to engage in historical revisionism to highlight some special groups oppression but personally i'm not buying it in this case.

The reason why HIV treatment took awhile is the same reason why other treatments take awhile. They require research and technological capabilities and it has nothing to do with who was being infected.

lol

Its not an issue with the position but the fact that you are approaching it in a really dumb way. If you see snipas post he didn't take a position.

Still, if you don't think that who is infected effects the amount of research funding and the public will to solve an issue then you're just hopeless

I don't need tinfoil oppression olympics theories to explain an otherwise very easily explainable cause-effect. Then again, woke points to me are worthless.

It's funny that you think you aren't fighting for woke points right now, you are doing the exact same thing except the version right wingers use

you've just been so brainwashed by the Shapiro school of thought, aka "when in doubt ask for a peer reviewed source", that you're using it to challenge common sense.

you're asking to be shown a study on a topic that's 1) common sense, 2) demonizes the industry that would fund the study.

"it's a problem once it affects white america" is a commonplace idea for a reason. if you need a study on why that's accurate and that's literally all you have is "i need a study", then you're just gonna get mocked.

please find me a study that shows pharma don't play favorites with white people problems. please show me a study on the HIV research history and how it was always done at the same pace before and after it spread outside of the gay community. please show me a study on how pharma have neglected to price gouge life saving medicines.

see anyone with a 50 iq can ask for studies, but it takes at least a 65 iq to have common sense, i guess.

In finance there are theories that people won Nobel prizes showing that if you want higher returns you need to take higher risks. Common sense things are some of the most researched topics.

It's not common sense it's SWJ bullshit. Medical research & tech has really ramped up in almost every sphere, leading to better cancer, hiv, heart surgery, etc. It never had anything to do with who was being affected and had way more to do with available tech and if the science caught up.

Cancer funding has exploded now compared to 40 years ago not because of some dumb fuck theories of who it affects but because now as we are making more strides in new biotech and immuno tech we are finally able to actually make some difference.
