UN endorses world’s 1st malaria vaccine as ‘historic moment’

Malaria Vaccine Endorsed

The World Health Organization announced yesterday it is recommending widespread use of the first proven malaria vaccine for children in sub-Saharan Africa and other at-risk regions. Hailed as a “historic moment,” the vaccine is the first to be developed for any parasitic disease in humans.  

The drug does not provide perfect protection; a pilot program involving 800,000 children from Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi since 2019 found it reduced severe cases by 30%. It also requires a four-dose regimen, a challenge in countries with fragile medical infrastructure. A follow-up modified version of the drug, still in clinical trials, has shown efficacy above 75% in the first year after treatment.

Malaria kills more than 400,000 people each year, with more than half being African children under five. The mosquito-borne disease affects about 2,000 people in the US annually, but results in only a handful of deaths in the country. Experts predict the new vaccine could save tens of thousands of lives each year when combined with other interventions.

Here’s a “traditional” vaccine.

It’s not perfect.  But, the cost of not having it is huge.

Unlike the Covid-19 RNA “vaccine”, it solves REAL problems with REAL percentages.

While it probably won’t be a mandatory profit make for Big Pharma, unlike the Covid-19 jab and rehabs, I see this akin to the polio vaccine where Moms will be running to get it for their children.

Maybe next year, I won’t have to donate to the Against Malaria Foundation and then I can pick another charity hoping they will accomplish their mission.  For those who want to donate, the information is below.

HEALTH: Is this “anti-vax”? No, it’s just science, these are legitimate concerns.

The Top Four Reasons Why Many People, Doctors & Scientists Refuse To Take The COVID Vaccine

*** begin quote ***

From what I see, the majority of people receive their information from mainstream media organizations, which are organizations that have strong ties to pharmaceutical corporations and governments, and are known for presenting one perspective that favours a particular agenda while completely ridiculing the other. They sometimes go as far as labelling another perspective as a “conspiracy theory” despite the fact that there is ample, credible evidence to support the claims of that perspective. Do people simply believe things because they feel that everybody else believes it too? What are the social and cultural implications of not being in alignment with the majority?

*** and ***

1. A Lack of Trust In Government & Pharmaceutical Companies.

2. The Virus Has A 99.95 Survival Rate.

3. Some People Don’t Know How Safe And Effective The Vaccine Is

4. There May Be Protection From Infection

*** and ***

At the end of the day, there are ample concerns about the COVID vaccine, its effectiveness, the safety of it in the short term and in the long term. Despite these concerns, the vaccine is heavily marketed as unquestionably safe and effective. A fifth category could have been added to this article, and that’s the ridicule and acknowledgments of other, cheap effective treatments that have shown to have a tremendous amount of success. It seems these treatments would have rendered the vaccine useless and unnecessary, but the vaccine is a multiple billion dollar product.

*** end quote ***

I don’t think I am an “anti-vax” type.

That being said, I am very concerned about taking any vax; not just this WuFlu one.

I’ll take the Shingles, but not the Flu.

I’m trying to place the various WuFlu vaccines on this spectrum of effectiveness and safety.

Until I can, I’m not taking anything.

Argh!

RANT: CDC Cover-Up

CDC Cover-Up of Autism and Vaccine Link Continues
By Dr. David Brownstein

However, the very same U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has refused to call a hearing about another health crisis—whether or not childhood vaccines cause autism.

In August, 2014, a senior CDC researcher, Dr. William Thompson came forward and sought whistleblower status by claiming that an important 2004 paper from the CDC—which found no correlation with the MMR vaccine and autism–was fraudulent. According to Dr. Thompson, the CDC researchers actually found that the MMR vaccine, when given before 36 months of age (it is presently recommended at 12-15 months and again at five years) was significantly correlated with the development of autism. However, the CDC, in a closed-door meeting, altered the data to hide their findings. Furthermore, the authors of this 2004 paper were told, by their bosses at the CDC, to throw out and not disclose any information that showed a correlation of the MMR vaccine with autism.

I have written to about this travesty many times.

My problems is that there is no “honesty” in Gooferment.

I am more firmly convinced that the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

The politicians and bureaucrats have indemnified Big Pharma by the “vaccine harm fund”. SO there is no way to make them pay for their mistakes.

And, of course, a cover up is usually worse than the crime.

I hope whomever is the new President can “clean house”.

But, I fear, that’s too much to hope for.

Argh!

I don’t envy the decision any parent has to make. And, the fact that there are no “facts” to guide them makes it even worse. At least, the old tribal witch doctor didn’t have a conflict of interest. Too many bad results and he’d be sacrificed to appease the gods. Maybe we should try that approach?
