A potential new malaria vaccine has proved highly effective in trials, pointing to it one day possibly helping reduce the death toll from the mosquito-borne disease that kills up to half a million young children a year.

But the study conducted by Oxford University and released on Friday indicated that clinical trials had been carried out on 450 children between the ages of five to 17 months.

“These are very exciting results showing unprecedented efficacy levels from a vaccine that has been well-tolerated in our trial programme,” Halidou Tinto, the trial’s principal investigator, said in a statement. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through a mosquito bite and it begins with symptoms such as fever, headaches and chills and, without treatment, can progress quickly to severe illness and often death.

Also considering the effective management of mosquito breeding is not being looked at which will translate to cleaner cities, villages and a better quality of life for the average populace and longer life expectancy too at probably a cheaper cost with no side effects 🤔

Means possible more money for big pharma. African lived with malaria for hundreds of years and there population grew with natural remedies with no side effects. Now a proposed vaccine yet again with unknown possible side effects. Is it possible population control is afoot 🤔

The govt is taking dis malaria vaccine cus it's the northerner that will benefit more from it...those remote places in the north....
