    Great news! Thanks for sharing OP!

    When I was in college I had a Zoology professor who mentioned, on multiple occasions, that Malaria had killed '50% of all humans since man’s inception".

    In fact, on 2 different exams, we had to draw the lifecycle of the genus plasmodium (the thing that causes malaria). Crazy.

    That’s some damn good news

    I’m looking forward to the news that malaria is extinct

    It probably won’t happen in my life time, but the rarer it becomes the better

        Mosquitos are why I will never visit Finland in the summer again! Horrid little fuckheads. Maybe one day we can engineer them to exist without eating humans.

    That’s great news! One upside of Covid is that it increased funding toward vaccine development strategies. Hopefully we’ll get even more effective vaccines for other hard to treat diseases.

      First step is testing safety. Then you give it to a much larger group to establish the level of effectiveness, since you need a lot of data to establish that. After the effectiveness is established you would declare it safe AND effective.

      SMH. Can’t imagine how that’s not obvious.

      It’s the WHO who declared this safe in this writing. Obviously, there have been other authorities that approved the vaccine before injecting it to that million people.
