If you put ME/cfs on the graph of NIH funding vs disease burden, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/cfs that affects millions in US would be very underfunded. NIH needs to stop discriminating against ME and fund at least $100M/yr. Reference: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32568148/

You’re correct that some diseases (including ones I study) are relatively underfunded. So yes, some changes are needed.
