Malaria Vaccine, Via Mosquito

CodeShark writes "The AP is reporting that mosquitoes have been used for the first time to deliver anti-malarial vaccine through their bites. According to this article the results were crystal clear: 100% of the vaccinated group acquired immunity, everyone in the non-vaccinated control group did not. Those in the control group and developed malaria when exposed to the parasites later, the vaccinated group did not. Malaria kills nearly a million people per year, mostly children."

    You forgot the absolute key catch in this thing, that pharma companies intentionally keep quiet about:

    You only are immune to malaria as long as you pay them money by buying their pills and taking them.

    When you are caught in it, it's the perfect extortion trap: Stop giving us money, and you DIE!
    Who does this remind you of, hmmm?
