This is going to be really inconvenient for all the people who say "sure, you are good at making photo sharing apps and dating sites, but you don't cure cancer or anything."


I suspect that those people value the fact that this is happening more than the fact that they don't "get" to complain about it not happening.


Being one of those people, and an Epidemiologist, if this team manages to succeed, I'll happily shut up.


Yeah, lets wait and see how fast they get their $25M. Giiven that photo sharing apps can get billions of dollars just like that, if the Immunity Project will have to struggle for their $25M, I'm giving up on SV altogether.


Photo sharing apps get money from VCs. Why would you expect that VCs would fund a non-profit millions of dollars?


God forbid the people doing the actual work would get the credit.


I'm a bit confused. Who is the "you" here?
