I am supportive of efforts to sort out Malaria.  Easily the most underrated killer on the planet.  It's not a joke.

That said, I rather prefer other means of fighting it such as destroying the vector's habitat before imposing yet another drug on the hapless African.

Bill Gates should have already won a Nobel peace prize. Easily one of my living heroes.
