gollark: Hey, I'm not saying I'm not.
gollark: You're vaguely "privileged" in that you're in a country which can afford to do that.
gollark: Also, I suspect most people don't actually care very much. I mean, abstractly, if you ask people "would you like people to not get malaria/be cured of malaria", they'll say yes. But people generally do *not* really care enough to actually pay the various charities which are able to provide malaria nets and stuff, despite these being extremely effective at lives saved per $.
gollark: Declaring something a right doesn't magically solve all the huge logistical hurdles in getting everyone ever the relevant treatment tsuff.
gollark: Huh, wow.
