Help me out here.

I would assume the military heading into the hot zone will get shots upon shots to protect them from everything they have a shot for. (sorry about grammar here)

Am I wrong? Probably, given this cluster freak we have running things.

I thought we figured out malaria back in Panama Canal days.

for preppers, buy wormwood or artemesia. artemesia is what was used against malaria. it works and is also anti-parasitical.

Why do Eco freaks hate black Africans so much? Millions have been killed by their ban on DDT.

A fond memory from SEA - when you paid for your meal at the O’Club you had to take an anti-malaria tablet. The only way to avoid it was to present a stamped receipt from earlier in the day.

Forgot to save my stamped receipt exactly once.

According to medical expert Dr. John Torres, one child dies every day in Africa from malaria, an astronomical figure. ... malaria already kills an average of 100,000 people per year in west Africa..

Wait, what?

How did we get from 365/year to 100,000/year?

DDT could help minimize the malaria threat problem.

Thank you, Rachel Carson.

You're one of the great mass murderers of history.

Americans have so much to get used to, just being there. Meanwhile, the disease control people are thumping their chests about how Nigeria was successful in containing. The US should generously offer to match the money that the Chinese and Russians pay the Africans to set up the necessary quarantine facilities.

We took malaria pills during cruises every two weeks, right in the pay line.

Perhaps they have shots or something better these days, but taking the pills was not a choice.

It is much higher by magnitudes. I suspect a typo is involved.

This is impossible! Malaria was eradicated with DDT in the seventies! Oh wait... DDT was eradicated by the Enviro nuts.
