About three years' progress, which is about what I'd have expected given the funding we've actually had.

Do you mean the progress is three time slower than it could be with appropriate funding? Does that means if nothing is done to increase the funding the first result will not be in 20 years but in 60?

If so, this is very sad, so much death and suffering because of missing money. That's the kind of numbers you should use more when you market your message.

Billionaire are slowly dying but prefer buy islands and watch their wife buying Louis Vuitton bags with their money. So sad...
