this is about the best idea i have ever had.....

when you read of all these great new immune, gene and vaccine therapies it is hard Not to have great hope for a soon cure or vaccine treatment...
but will the USA be ready with money to get it to people who need it fast?????
 
http://www.aidsinfonyc.org/tag/science/immunePipelineTables.html
 
at this link and with all the immune mods and vaccines and things that are in the pipe it seems to me a new initiative needs to be created

a new initiative needs to be created
 
activists needed with brilliant ideas and branding and naming and contacts and email lists
 
and activism
 
something like

a new Emergency Trust fund for medical breakthroughs...
 
save the failed regiment program -- a funding source to get any breakthrough therapy or  immune mods and vaccine that turns out to be the "cure" or something that works to all these long suffering people, in other words a fund that will sole purpose to
 
prepare for the eventual moment when a breakthrough happens and is approved by fda
 
to give option to all who are close to death to try it
 
they deserve to be saved first if they want to try
 
kind of like a life boats program
 
or
 
fund the ramp up to treatment
 
for example, lets say tomarrow that one of these vaccine trials proves to be an effective treatment that will save many lives, perhaps a cure so to speak
 
we need a trust fund that would get that to as many people who are on the edge as fast as possible

so that budget delays and cycles and hmo's cost cutting doesnt slow access
 
how many people are we loosing per day in the usa
 
multiply that times two when you add in europe and maybe ten when you add the rest of world
 
what i am saying
 
there are so many major trials
 
if one turns into a great thing
 
how can we prime the system
 
all the universities, the drug companies, the adap etc
 
to get this too those you need it immediately
 
without waiting for 6-18 months for them to ramp up production
 
activists we can create a trust fund to save the suffering
 
i was only exposed two years ago
 
maybe it is a white paper that identifies... ok
 
day one
 
therapudic vaccine proven to work and "cure", fda approves...
 
day two
 
week 3
 all the things we can think of to help...
week 7
 
week 11
 
etc
 
how all the agencies and groups can help
 
what are your thoughts
 
Now that i think about it, perhaps we can widen it to any disease that finds a major life saving breakthru

and get it thru both houses of congress by making it the...
 
national life saving medical breakthrough Money Trust
and Team Act
 
 
and expert panel creation in fda

any disease that finds a major life saving breakthru
 
so that say a new treatment for lung cancer suddenly emerges... a team in fda or dept of health can access these funds of money independent of the budgets for medicare, medical, SS, etc ... these moneys can be used how the panel likes, distribution, education, manufacture, stockpile, etc
 
for example...
 
take one small example
 
the great drug company, i am very pro drug company and big pharma when i am not anti... anyway
 
they just came out with that HPV vaccine, they want market... of course that is understandable and they want to sell it and they want to help people and frankly i think
it is good to give to say, college girls who know they are sexaully active, by choice, but look at all us gay men who are going to get anal cancer
 
a new drug like that comes out
 
there should be an immediate.... access of the 
 
"national life saving medical breakthrough Money Trust
and Team Act and expert panel creation "
 
that buys it so that any gay man who wants it when approved gets it, and not hurt or hit the hmo bottom line which will have a slowing effect
 
or for example
 
other diseases
 
and if we make it broad enough
 
alzhiemers
 
stoke victims
 
prostate cancer
 
etc
 
then demos and republicans and even evil bush will sign it
 
national life saving medical breakthrough Money Trust
and Team Act
 
NAtional Life SAver Med Cure Money trust
 
they must have a super majority vote in the team to allow access to the monies...
 
how many of these are from HPV???? how many are gay men??? i bet it would be about 35% of the deaths...
I just looked it up...
140,000 new cases of colorectal cancer with 50,000 deaths per year. Who is at risk?
 
8000 deaths are from rectal cancer ... how many HPV    how many gay??
 
this would give a huge boost to the health care system because they do not have to absorb the Money shock of every new drug life saving treatment
 
 14000 cases of cervical cancer per year, including 4000 deaths. ...
 
this way we kind of help other diseases and hopefully set it up to help hiv when the time comes for a breakthrough
 
we the hiv aids community

created the whole disease activism link

now we can tak it one step further
 
as long as hmo's and blue cross have financial incentive not to give breakthrough therpies  asap then people will die while insurance burocrats have meetings
 
 Activism now 4 more money for research/ramp up- best activism now imho
