Research on Cystic Fibrosis happens in developed nations because (a) drug/healthcare companies can make money from treating someone with that condition, and (b) people are able to donate to organizations sponsoring research.

Similarly, because few people in these nations are affected by malaria, mostly because they had already been spent time and resources attacking it a century ago, they are more apt to spend money on problems that they are affected by.

This does not mean rich white people have bought up clinical trials and medical research. This is just a natural manifestation of economics.

I completely agree that blindness to larger issues can certainly cause huge problems, but your sentiment has little to do with the super rich buying themselves spots in medical trials.
