People have been trying to make malaria vaccines for over 100 years. Well over 100 vaccines have gone into clinical trials in people. Very, very few have worked to any degree.
Malaria is not a virus, it’s not a bacterium. It’s a protozoan parasite, some thousands of times larger than a typical virus. A good measure of that is how many genes it has. Covid has 13, malaria has about 5,500. This is one of the reasons that malaria is super complex.
With the help of the revolutionary new R21/Matrix vaccine the disease could be eradicated by 2040 (as claimed).
Unfortunately, Anti-Vaxxers have discovered that disinformation gives them a sense of authority on knowledge (and they know people don’t tend to listen to those who have no idea what they’re talking about generally), so, they’ll do everything they can to argue against this
It’s already started.
Anti-malaria measures in Africa are funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the same Bill Gates that anti-vaxxers argue are trying to poison us through the COVID vaccines and has ties to Epstein.
They are already warning about weaponized mosquitoes being used as flying syringes in California and genetically modified mosquitoes being unleashed.
Lol. Actually, that doesn’t surprise me, but that does sound like the exact kind of nonsense they’d believe.
The guy literally had a world wide monopoly (in fact, Microsoft helped save Apple by investing), and he was the richest person on the planet.
Not really sure what he’d gain lol.
Luckily malaria isn’t spreading where all the anti-vaxxers are. Argue all they want, it’ll save so many lives.
From what I read, malaria isn’t spread human-to-human, so it matters more directly whether you yourself have been vaccinated. Herd immunity isn’t much of a factor. If malaria started spreading near you, get vaccinated against it. Those who don’t would die.
I hope so
Let’s just hope no one has to wear a piece of cloth for it to work, or even get the vaccine.
We thought we had eradicated polio, but the anti-vaxxers had other plans.
Unfortunately, the US ruined the faith many countries have in vaccination missions because we just had to kill a renal patient, that we trained and funded, who “went off the reservation.”
