Is breast cancer the greatest disease to ever plague humankind? One would think so! There is a month for awareness of it; as if there is anyone who is not aware of it. There are thousands of events to raise money for research into it. Celebrities and politicians make public statements in support of research on it. Food products, vehicles, buildings, publications, etc. are all covered in pink to show support.
What has all the billions and billions of dollars of donations got us? We have some reduction in deaths, which could have been accomplished for far fewer dollars, we have people who are in the spotlight for a time to make themselves feel good about themselves, we have wealthy professional fundraisers, and we have thousands of research labs that take millions of dollars and produce little. Pink is the politically correct thing to be, since you will be ostracized and called sexist if your are not. Pity the people who have other diseases, especially those diseases which occur mostly in men.
