Parent didn&#x27;t say that he or people with gonorrhea in general &quot;would be happy to go without any treatment&quot; -- so why do you ask him that?<p>He merely said that people with such needs are a few tens of thousands, and not many millions, so they don&#x27;t constitute a viable market.<p>If your new point is that, &quot;ok, they might not be millions, but they would still pay any price for a treatment&quot;, that would also be wrong: They might be WILLING to pay any price, but for most of them it wouldn&#x27;t be possible to pay that much. There are lots of people that need stuff from surgeries to dental work, that are NOT happy not having them, but that nevertheless don&#x27;t have them, because they can&#x27;t afford them -- and expensive gonorrhea drugs wouldn&#x27;t be much different.
