Earlier this week, thousands of children in Côte d’Ivoire and South Sudan started receiving their first shots of the R21 malaria vaccine. This vaccine, developed by scientists in the United Kingdom and manufactured in India, is being rolled out alongside another vaccine that has already been administered to more than two million children in Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi, where it reduced all-cause mortality by 13%.

If you’ve been following this newsletter for a while, you’ll know how excited we are about this story. Malaria is the poster child for Pestilence. It’s killed more people than almost anything else—by some estimates, around 5% of all deaths, ever. It still kills half a million children annually. Now, after 70 years of trial and error, we have two cheap and effective vaccines that give us a serious shot at eradicating it in the next decade or two.

this is why the most dangerous animal is a mosquito.

Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) Private citizens have the right under the Second Amendment to possess an ordinary type of weapon and use it for lawful, historically established situations such as self-defense in a home, even when there is no relationship to a local militia.

"The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner." Right to Keep and Bear Arms: Report of the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, Ninety-seventh Congress, Second Session. U.S. Government Printing Office. 1982. Digitized September 30, 2008.

From the NYSRPA v Bruen "Today, we decline to adopt that two-part approach. . . . Despite the popularity of this two-step approach, it is one step too many. Step one of the predominant framework is broadly consistent with Heller, which demands a test rooted in the Second Amendment's text, as informed by history."

With global warming and increasing storms, this vaccine is going to save thousands.

I swear my brain read this as Bye-bye Melania.

I thought she was at the RNC last night?

I listened to an audiobook about Mosquitos that was extremely interesting. Mosquitos are part of the reason that Rome was so hard to invade.

It was only about 100 years ago that Malaria and yellow fever were common as far north as Washington DC. Florida is seeing an uptick in cases of Dengue fever. All are mosquito bourne

so a vaccine will fix the problem? I expect the USA to be the worldwide leader in malaria eventually.

I think you were not clear enough.

I lived in Africa for several years and took anti-malaria pills weekly. This vaccine will have a tremendous impact in malarial zones. People typically had many children knowing that half will die before age 5 mostly from malaria. We might see population increases before people realize that malaria isn’t so deadly.

It is what it is.

A teacher at our college died of malaria here in the USA, which she had contracted in Africa. She recovered at the time but it came back years later and she died, which I had not known was a thing.
