The World's First Malaria Vaccine Gets a Shot in Africa | SciShow News

And just this week I read about a breakthrough in HIV vaccination. What a wonderful time we live in.

Oh this is genuinely incredible, can’t wait to see what else they do!

Malaria vaccines. That's what happens when you bless the rains

Africa going to get rid of Malaria before America gets rid of Measles. LMAO

We did a mouse study on Malaria in college. It was amazing what happened to their blood cells. Just shredded red blood cells everywhere. :(

The mumps are in my school and I don’t know who is and isn’t vaccinated but I know I am , it’s scary as I didn’t know it would strike my very own school , I’m glad we can save ourselves and others agenst disease and other stuff

Karen’s be like “ Malaria vaccines?” Yeah right. Just eat my natural oils

now if we can just get an anti vaxxer vaccine

I appreciate putting all the sources in the description. That way a person can verify and read further on the topics. Thumbs up!

Smallpox was. Polio was. Fear of being preyed on was. Soon, we will say malaria was. As we advance technologically and we shift out living standard to a higher setting, we will refer to common ailments like cancer and the cold in the past tense

I participated in a malaria vaccine trial study. They injected me with a vaccine and then malaria. I got malaria and develouped Gametocyte, there was a case study published on it. That was like 3 years ago. I hope it helped make this vaccine possible.

Even at 40% this could potentially knock the hell out of malaria. The parasite needs to be taken up by a mosquito from an infected host. Even if 60% of the time (probably lower because not all infected hosts will get bit again while infectious) the parasite is able to complete its life cycle, this will dramatically reduce the number of mosquitoes that are carrying the parasite in the first place. There is no selective advantage to the mosquito (that I'm aware of) for it to carry the parasite. A non infected mosquito should be able to carry on their genes at essentially the same success rate as an infected one.

When mosquitoes attack, I call in a SWAT team.

This is tearjearking beautiful. Science as it's best! I hope this works out.

Team Vaccinators: What a great advancement in health! Anti-Vaccinators: (Quiet) Oh, they left again lol.

As an African American whose girlfriend is Ghanaian and who will be taking my 1st trip there next week I find this extremely encouraging. I'm moving to Ghana permanently and she & I are talking about having children. The things I've read about Malaria and what it does to children there have nearly scared me out of my wits. I am very very very excited to hear about the development of this vaccine. Great video My Man.....you're really really good at what you do.

This is excellent. It will save so many lives

Its good to see that donating to the cause is working.

Damn, a successful blood protozoan vaccine. This is crazy exciting, these apicomplexan parasites have some of the coolest and most intelligent acclimatization methods from most protozoan parasites. Hopefully, this won't lower the relatively low demand for parasitologists already lol

I pray this vaccine as well as the vaccination program is a success
