Wow. Lenacapavir, a twice-yearly shot that prevents HIV spread was just approved by the FDA.

The problem? Due to government cuts to Medicaid, PEPFAR, and Global Fund, it's unlikely this game-changing drug will reach the many people who need it most in the US and globally.

The world of computing has become much more complicated than when many of them started, sometimes decades ago. Governments should bare the responsibility, or make companies bare the responsibility of this critical infrastructure.
