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."

Well
A) Drive to a clinic with malaria patients, and offer them a potential cure?
or
B) Intentionally infect poor people with malaria for money, without them telling so.

What do you think is more likely, in the face of the current behavior of the disease industry?

What happens when we eliminate malaria

Yes, it could be destroying malaria will do only positive things, but if we release this vaccine into the wild and it proliferates, and the virus is no more, do we really know what will happen? Of course, I've never heard of a negative fallout from the elimination of smallpox, but who knows. We gotta be careful when we go about systematically eradicating something.
