Go get a wife

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 in our heads. We will build the biggest auditorium for prayers.

very useless race

Good development

We need HIV vaccine.

It's ravaging africa just like malaria and unlike malaria, it has no cure.

Looks like a good time to buy BNTX stock.

Biontech is a german company.

If it is true that they have discovered vaccine for malaria, then they have done more for africa than all the churches and mosques in africa since existence.

Now, they're talking

Great development and bad news for the pharmaceutical industry

I see people rejoicing that same technology nRNA used to produce the covid vaccine is same to be used on malaria vaccine. What happened to the malaria tablets we have been taking in Africa; has it stopped working or just to make people who refused to take the covid vaccine take same through malaria vaccine...I am just asking

You were right all along...
MRA Technology has been on existence since 1970....why the sudden surge in mrna drugs ?

cc Mrpresident

OBTMOS:
Why is HIV vaccine and cure so difficult then.
Corona virus got a vaccine within a year.

take coconut oil, ginger and garlic juice mixed together everyday and watch some stubborn hiv flee....na joke I dey oo

AmazingELixir:
They should concentrate on something else please...malaria, banditry and terrorism keep our population in check

very stupid comment.. Why don't you commit suicide to help keep our population in check

chyzoo4u:
Things like this never crosses the mind of a black man.

how do you know, how many black men have the opportunity here to showcase their scientific knowledge.. Werey

E good as you dey use am oo. Who knows how many women would have died as a result of abortion? Use of condom and fear of hiv infection has reduced the risk of abortion-related deaths in our society and the world over. In the 80s, up till late 90s, girls were mainly dying as a result of abortion complications because most of them wouldn't want to tell their parents that they were pregnant , out of fear and stigmatisation. Again, boy friend doesn't have money to go for evacuation in the hospital. He'd end up encouraging her to take concoction and the poor girl would die in the end. Even some of those D&Cs done in hospitals do end in complications. Some girls may have their womb ruptured or cut off .

With the aid of condoms, some reckless guys have been kept in check.

How is it bad news for them.

You will suddenly see new strains and variants of malaria parasite and the vaccine will require 2,3,4 of more updates to tackle it.

Africans will be pumped full of malaria m rna vaccines

May you meet death befor the end of this month. And may your family die in the hand of BANDITS, MALARIA AND Terrorist. So shall it be onto you.

Hahaha. Just like we see in covid-19 today with the new strain. But seriously, we always have different strains of malaria already. Back in the days, once you took chloro, you're OK but later, malaria parasite inhibited chloro and formed a resistance and ACT was developed.

It will still be bad market for pharmaceutical industry and a lot of people will be sacked . If I'm vaccinated , I may not visit hospital or fall sick of malaria for at least 6 months .meanwhile our people fall sick of malaria like every 2 months. It will be a welcome development if the German firm succeeds.

Jjjjju

You underrate malaria because it has not killed anybody you know. Malaria has killed more than 5 people I knew personally. It nearly killed me during my service year. I survived because I was able to eat well and took my medications. What malaria does is to suppress one's appepite. Once that happens, death is just lurking.

I bet you not far from the truth.
The great deception.

Africa can't develop one but will wait for a white man who's alien to the disease to develop one for them, if it's carry religion for head it is A1

Hmmm..... case of chronic inferiority complex. You and others like you are willingly waiting with mouths wide open for the White man to shove something ... anything .... down your throats. Ask yourself ... how is it the Black man been living for thousands of years in the midst of the malaria infested forest regions and are not wiped out by malaria? The White man cannot do that. Isn't it something the Black man knows that the White doesn't? The local man already has the solution but here you are ... a local ... condemning your own while singing praises to the alien.

Exciting advancement.evokes me of when I swiped corporate mysteries from a pharmaceutical magnate....

Chai!
So what do we now treat if Everyone is Vaccinated against Malaria and Typhoid??

Sabadon:
Thank God for technology, but why are the bereaved not bothered even for centuries, still relying on strangers to keep our house in check


Africa my Africa

Thank White man technology and not your Yeye god

Dummy, living in the Jungle and depending on evolution to take its cause...is not a strategy.

Sickle cell and immunity can only do so much. Invest in talent and develop an African solution.

A vaccine laboratory that once saved lives

In the months and years following its creation in 1948, the FVPL, Yaba, used to be the envy of other West African nations especially due to its cutting-edge technology and expertise in manufacturing vaccines in needed quantity whenever required. Rabbies, small pox, yellow fever and even other more ruthless vaccine-preventable diseases, the laboratory had the wand to prevent, and if need be, extinguish them at the time, a fact recently confirmed by President of the Nigerian Medical Association, Prof. Mike Ogirima.


The entrance into the old vaccine lab
For instance, during the yellow fever outbreak in Nigeria between 1986 and 1987, a scientist, identified simply as Jose, who worked in the lab at the time, told our correspondent that other affected states across the federation came to the laboratory to get vaccines.

A report by the United States National Library of Medicine stated that in 1950, Nigeria had a record of 67.2 cases of smallpox per 100,000, but that shortly after, the incidence had dropped to 29.7 cases due to the production of over five million doses of vaccine at the FVPL in Yaba, leading to the eradication of the ailment at the time.

Even when smallpox resurfaced in Ibadan in 1957, it was quickly contained by emergency vaccination. And when it came up again in Abakaliki (now the capital of Ebonyi State) in 1967, when the population of eastern Nigeria was about 12 million, targeted vaccination, courtesy of the vaccines produced at the lab in Yaba, helped to contain the spread and save many lives.

Since then, Nigeria has not had any incidence of smallpox.
