What the hell are you talking about? The world population of human beings is over six and a half billion. The loss of a few millions here and there is a tragedy... but a minuscule dent in our total population. Almost a million babies are born each day.

Multi-Millions may be more correct. There will be 125 million births in the world this year. By the time this group is ready to start school, there will have been another 625 million births.

A few millions is a drop in the bucket. compared to the 6.45 billion souls who inhabit the planet.

Malaria does kill about one million people a year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa.

Right you are; it's tens of millions.

People suffering from or with a high prospect of contracting malaria have MORE kids in order to help care for their elders and make up for infant mortality (you do know that birth rates in developing coutries are all lower than poor countries). Sickly societies cannot afford the education and means that reduce birth rates. As a population control measure, banning DDT was a total failure.
