Understandable— many things in EA can feel counter-intuitive at first! It’s entirely possible that there are charities/cases where it’s cheaper to prevent a disability, but it’d take some significant research to establish that.
Yes I’ve seen charities like iodized salt however I like against malaria foundation specifically because it’s one of if not the only effective altruist charity where I can track my donation and see my individual impact about where my nets are going. With other organizations it feels like I’m just one of millions of people voting in an election and it makes no difference.
Thank you for your response. I just thought preventing a disability would be cheaper. I think death is generally bad yes
