What the mainstream is ignoring with malaria as well as HIV/AIDS is that with malaria, mosquito nets and vitamin A will do more than a vaccine.
With HIV/AIDS it is four inexpensive supplements that prevent conversion of HIV to AIDS. Gates Foundation should make a concerted effort to use these newer approaches in trials rather than more of the same old same old.

This is a huge conspiracy to get chips implanted into Africans! I would urge every smart minded sub-Saharan African mother who is currently reading this comment page to do the right thing and say NO to this dispicable and corrupt western imperialist initiative.
