That's not true. We came up with a vaccine for malnutrition a long time ago, it's called food. It's 100% effective but requires frequent boosters. Inappropriate levity, that's my specialty.

On a related note, one of the reasons that malnutrition results in increases in certain diseases is because of lack of vitamin A. Supplements of this vitamin, even though the overall caloric intake may not be optimum, greatly reduce incidence and severity of disease.
