Germany’s BioNTech aims to develop world’s first mRNA malaria vaccine

Mainz-based pharmaceutical lab BioNTech is already taking on an ambitious new project to create a revolutionary mRNA vaccine for malaria, less than a year after their groundbreaking COVID-19 vaccine went into production. The vaccine would be a world-first for mRNA technology used to combat malaria.

The BioNTech team hopes to have the vaccine in clinical trials in 2022, and could even begin to be administered to the general population in affected regions around 2023 or 2024. With an effective vaccine, BioNTech could become the world's first provider of mRNA malaria drugs.

The announcement of the project comes a year after the lab created the world’s first vaccine against the COVID-19 virus, together with its American partner Pfizer. Preliminary results suggest that the vaccine has been a success against COVID-19 in Germany and around the world.

BioNTech are using their new technology to combat other diseases
Malaria and COVID-19 are not the only illnesses that BioNTech has set its sights on combatting. The founders of the company both have backgrounds in oncology, and are keen to use their knowledge of mRNA technology to tackle several different types of cancer.

Hopefully, this works and is free from controversies like ones being peddled about COVID-19 vaccines and the Antichrist bla bla bla... Malaria is one of the most underrated illnesses that kills loads of people in tropical areas than anything else. If this succeeds, then its au revoir to Chloroquine and other malaria and antimalarial drugs.

Question again is, will those mafias who specialize in distributing malaria drugs be interested in the vaccine?

Would the vaccine stop Nigerians especially an AA Vacinee from contracting Malaria?

It may work in Europe, but over here in the tropics if sparogatively the vacine works, I have a feeling these mosquitoes would mutate and evolve. I don't know the economic importance of mosquitoes. I'm quite certain they don't have, except to sing off key and spread malaria upandan.

But you should know, does little things hate to be sidelined.
How do I know?
Anytime I hear their Tonto Dikeh voices humming past my ears, I just know they have bigger plans that eyes have not seen neither have ears heard.

Malaria is a big concern for Africa and Africans yet we will depend on others for a solution. If it's prayers now we will carry it on our heads. We will build the biggest auditorium for prayers.
