Would you target one disease?

No. I would continue to attempt to research multiple diseases as this has afforded us many vaccines in the past. The reason SOME cancer is curable (please don't be deceived into thinking all are), life with herpes livable and even the life of AIDS patients prolonged is because they have all received funding and research over the past years. If all funding to each [as well as to other diseases] is shut off as the disease change and mature and particualrly as viruses morph, the effect will be devastating and likely a pandemic in some cases.
