The Spin

While the world is on a positive path toward eradicating malaria, from billions of cases prevented to millions of lives saved, more must be done. This will include prevenative strategies like vaccines, mosquito sprays, and bed nets, as well as treatments such as Artemisinin-based therapies. Pregnant mothers must also be a primary target for prevention and treatment.

The world should be skeptical of the medical establishment when it comes to infectious diseases, especially in the wake of the pandemic. Now that the smear campaigns are over, low-cost drugs like ivermectin — which has long been proven to treat malaria and more recently COVID-19 — should be at the top of every doctor's treatment list to help eradicate this disease and others.
