This is an idiotic argument. Lyme disease can cause extensive and chronic suffering. A cold is rarely fatal, but if you were going to live for a year with one, you’d probably be miserable.

Anything that can make a positive change in our lives should be regarded as exactly that. Yes, there are other problems out there, but sometimes we need to invest into smaller ones to better how we are able to deal with the larger ones. Disease research and study is a perfect example of this, as better understanding builds a pathway to future successes.
