Some scientists think we should be spending time and money developing vaccines for diseases that may in the future become pandemics, so that we are ready when they come. Other scientists think time and money is better spent on working on vaccines for very rare diseases that infect humans currently. If you were in charge of distributing money to vaccine researchers, who would you be more likely to give money to, someone studying a disease that may (or may not) become a pandemic, or someone studying rare diseases that people currently are infected with? Explain your choice.
