      And most of us would point to some sort of crossover, applying some resources to this and some to (those) other things.
      And then there are the loonies, quacks, and horrors with their views, but enough of them.

          Well you are free to suspect that.

          But I’m not going to put the health of my family on hold pending the (impossible) total eradication of global health inequity.
