na 2day, they shld keep on researching, later u guys will want Africans to come and pay 4 d so called vaccines. i hope this pple are not broke |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by Nobody: 12:11pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
that will be one of the biggest breakthru in science, apart from the malaria, we need to get the carriers off our planet. these days, it appear they have swapped their proboscis for a set of teeth |

la furia: It's already been tested on African kids. 50% of them granted immunity to the disease. |

Mosquito coil don’t work anymore? |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by yomz1e(m): 12:27pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
fact is the Anopheles mosquito keeps evolving, the US spent millions on ways to stop this epidemic as its the major sickness that affect their soldiers in countries where the insects are. why blame the mosquito when fresh blood is tastier than local paraga blood, i myself witness this when i visited home recently, the mosquitoes were no interested in other people in the room except for jand blood naw as they know when them go chop dis kind blaaaad again? anyways back to the subject. the fact is that once a cure has been found, the disease will develop a resistance to the drugs which means back to square 1. best way to combat this is adequate irrigation system and destruction of breeding areas of this parasites!!! simples! |

webdezzi:hypodermic needles instead. this is a welcome breakthrough,one of the biggest science has achieved so far. i cant wait to hear 'malaria eradicated' |

Wetin do Agbo and Ota Piapia Vaccine dem, dem no wan promote our own vaccine |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by Princek12(m): 12:56pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
buzugee: You sound like you allow your emotion to cloud your reasoning. Why should they first test it on Europeans who vacation in African countries? Does that make sense to you? The group of people who suffer from Malaria the most and who are in need of the vaccine are Africans, and they should be the ones who are tested first. The vacationing Europeans are not the primary victims of Malaria. I recognize your sentiment, but this is not one of those situations where a vaccine that is developed for worldwide use is being tested on Africans first, putting them at risk ahead of Europeans; this vaccine is being developed for areas that are seriously afflicted with the Malaria epidemic, of which Africa is a significant part. Numerous lives have been lost to this disease in Africa. I wholeheartedly welcome this development. |

Read the full article. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204346104576639211016347824.html It's far from a finished product as some of the side effects include meningitis, fever etc. We would also need to talk about what happens if the plasmoduim mutates into another form. I do believe in the next 10 years Malaria will be history if we go by how much research is devoted to it. |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by proffmanue(m): 1:18pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
this is good but such research should be done by those most affected (Africans). abi we no get scientist? |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by buzugee(m): 1:27pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
Princek12:ahhh the bliss of naivety and ignorance. must be nice to be a virgin to human intentions. why dont you take your daughter and son and go collect the vaccine now. come tell us in 2 years time how ya kids are faring healthwise, the truth of the matter is that you guys in africa are breeding like rats. the population of the world is getting out of control and you africans keep on breeding like rats. something has to be done about this. either forcibly or trickery. thats the job of the pharmaceutical industry. eugenics. population control. |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by yomz1e(m): 2:01pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
@ buzugee, why dont you start by jumping off third mainland bridge and then we don't have to worry about you and your future generations who would make africa more over populated, jooh o! |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by Princek12(m): 2:33pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
buzugee: who is naive and ignorant? Me or you? You are just someone who relishes in cynicism. I am sure you take medicines when you are sick. You probably do not know that all those medicines you take had at one point undergone clinical trials. Someone has to be the guinea pig for new drugs or vaccine, as in that person has to make sacrifices in order to get the drug approved for commercial use. And in this situation, it makes sense that the people who are most afflicted, and who are in dire need of the vaccine, should be the ones in the clinical trials. |

This is an inspiring story of dedication! 1987! Wow! |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by buzugee(m): 2:39pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
Princek12:ok first off i dont use western drugs. lets throw that out there. you may find me dabbling in echinacea, goldenseal, milk thistle, garlic , dandelion and whatnot. as per relishing in cynicism, you have to look at the track record of the person who wants to give you what to put into your body. are you comfortable with their track record ? well good-luck to you and yours |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by buzugee(m): 2:42pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
yomz1e:i cant swim so i would choose to renege on your generous offer. of course i am assuming that third mainland bridge is built over water. |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by buzugee(m): 2:48pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
you have to remember, its your body. its your responsibility to put the right thing in it. |

@ SEUN The last time pfixer tested their new 'invention' on our kids in kano the outcome wasnt interesting. It's easy to get pass NAFDAC and gain approval of any sort but i had advice they test run it in their country for a while before distribution. You Need To Read These!

Good news. |

@MMM Hmmm, nigerian mosquitos expecially warri mosquitos has developed a new anti vaccine systems. Mosquito coils and nets are just an infinitesimal to them. |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by metro10: 3:56pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
I heard it on the news some days ago here in Kenya that they will be using the vaccine nationwide soon. It's well accepted here in kenya. I suggest NAFDAC should quickly do their investigation and if its worth it, launch it nationwide and free as in kenya. |

Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by Obinoscopy(m): 4:30pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
Thats good news. I actually knew when the first clinical trial was successful. I've no doubt that the vaccine will be of immense help in bringing about a reduction of neo-natal and child mortality. My only major concern would be the high cost of the vaccine since it was a pharmaceutical firm that did the research. GSK will have the sole patent right to market the vaccine (mosquitrix) thus they can afford to inflate the price to cover on the cost of R&D incurred during the vaccine development and the cost of future research ventures. I just pray the likes of WHO, global fund, Bill and Melinda Gates can either convince GSK to reduce the cost or buy off the patent from them. |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by kemmeye: 4:42pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
believe me with the amount of mosquitoes that have bitten me and my every 2months malaria that vaccine cannot work because even ordinary medication that i used to take would not work anymore. |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by Princek12(m): 4:53pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
buzugee: so you have never used western drugs? look me in the eyes and tell me you have never used western drugs? . so if you catch malaria or typhoid or pneumonia or a bacterial infection, you will start drinking milk and garlic and echinachea and blah blah blah? Get outta here, bloody liar. |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by paragonpro: 5:18pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
Personally i doubt if this medicine or vaccine would work in the long run. Mosquitoes and the parasite - Plasmodium Falciparium seem to outsmart everything we can throw at them. Every so often a new drug is discovered and hailed as a final cure for malaria only for the drug to become useless 5 - 10yrs down the line. Name them, Chloroquine, Halfan, artisunate, and lots of others. The parasite adapts to quickly. I feel the best methods are prevention instead of cure. I wish this new drug and their promoters good luck. |
Re: A Vaccine Has Been Found For Malaria? by buzugee(m): 5:29pm On Oct 19, 2011 |
Princek12:i have not used western medicine in over 10 years. i use herbs. if i catch all those things you said, i will simply eat raw ginger and garlic and drink concentrated lemon juice. i may even dabble in a session of sauna to sweat out the toxins as i work internally with the herbs. echinacea is always an immune system booster. 1 Like |
