"I don't infer anything, what I say is what I mean. I never said anything about highest death rates among the world, I said that terrorism, including the 3000+ who died in 01, does not kill as many people compared to sickness. Yet hundreds of billions are spent on wars, and a fraction of that is spent on research, or preventative care or any other sort of healthcare solution."

I got booted in mid comment so some of it is lost.
The "(t)otal expenditures for U.S. medical research have doubled in the past 10 years to almost $95 billion annually. (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/30983.php) The data indicates that current expenditures have likely topped 150 billion. Now you can still call that a fraction of, but it is not an insignificant expenditure.A brakedown of ratios was found; "The United States invests over $35 billion annually in medical research. Federal support accounts for about 38 percent of this total, and private industry about half; the rest comes from various public and private sources. Federal support of medical research has also grown substantially: between 1986 and 1995 real federal expenditures on medical research increased by 46 percent, reaching $13.4 billion annually.1 This is more than one fifth of federal outlays on research and development." Since this was in 99 the numbers have to be brought up do date but ratios are likely the same.
