Answer by Just another lady
Depends on the disease, rate of disease being spread/infecting others by being contagious, or how many people are effected already, how serious or life threatening it is…etc. If the potential for finding a cure seems greater than the potential for preventing a specific disease than the money should be spent on the cure, first, and prevention next, or maybe both at the same time with the focus being the cure?! Or, vice versa, if the potential lies in prevention being the quickest, surest way to go about it. That’s kinda a loaded question with all sorts of possible scenarios and exceptions, making one definite answer difficult : ) Good deep thinking there!
