This is incredible news! Bravo to the scientists and researchers making it possible.
That’s some damn good news
I’m looking forward to the news that malaria is extinct
It probably won’t happen in my life time, but the rarer it becomes the better
Hell yeah dude, go science.
Uh…unfun fact, It’s estimated that 80% of people to ever exist have died due to Malaria so, fuck mosquitoes, fuck Malaria and fuck yeah science!
Mosquitos are why I will never visit Finland in the summer again! Horrid little fuckheads. Maybe one day we can engineer them to exist without eating humans.
ahhh, finally a vaccine they can legitimately say Bill Gates wanted to make
On the continent, we are super sceptical of Bill Gates

It’s a quote. You put a quote in, wait for it, quotation marks.
Lol what the hell are you on about, you must be a troll.

I’d encourage you to have another look at the data.
this has to be a troll. this has to be a troll. please say there arent people like this on lemmy.
That’s great news! One upside of Covid is that it increased funding toward vaccine development strategies. Hopefully we’ll get even more effective vaccines for other hard to treat diseases.
Great news! Thanks for sharing OP!
When I was in college I had a Zoology professor who mentioned, on multiple occasions, that Malaria had killed '50% of all humans since man’s inception".
In fact, on 2 different exams, we had to draw the lifecycle of the genus plasmodium (the thing that causes malaria). Crazy.
Forced car dependency kills more people than malaria. Same with covid (temporarily) and climate change.
I read it as schrodinger’s asshat lol

Whoa that’s the first one of those I’ve seen on lemmy
It’s the WHO who declared this safe in this writing. Obviously, there have been other authorities that approved the vaccine before injecting it to that million people.
First step is testing safety. Then you give it to a much larger group to establish the level of effectiveness, since you need a lot of data to establish that. After the effectiveness is established you would declare it safe AND effective.
SMH. Can’t imagine how that’s not obvious.
It seems a lot of people misunderstand that being declared “safe” doesn’t mean it’s effective and being declared “effective” doesn’t mean it’s safe.
For example: water is safe, but it’s not an effective treatment for a heart attack. And dying is an effective treatment for heartburn (it’ll stop it) but it sure as hell ain’t safe.
It’s important to have both.
I accidentally inhaled maybe half a teaspoon of water the other day. Was coughing up mucus and even a little foam for like three days. I googled “am I in danger if I inhale a little water?” and it was like “you gon die muthafucka!”
But if I went to the ER every time google told me I was gonna die I’d be in so much debt.
Anyway I’m still here for now. I’m still coughing up weird globs of mucus at random moments.
I fucking hate how expensive medicine is.
If it continues it may be cause for concern BTW
Could turn into some kind of lung infection which would be cause for concern
Maybe not ER but urgent care maybe?
IDK I usually go to the urgent care first because I’m a broke MF and the ER is expensive AF.
Yeah, I guess I’ll go. I do have Kaiser insurance now.
It’s important to have both.
Heartburn and a heart attack?
No, no. Water and death, the two example remedies.
Ok for everyone’s benefit I’ll spell it out: first water, then heartburn, then heart attack, followed – generally last – by death.
That’s the spirit

Some places are moderated, some are not. Depends on the individual community and instance. See sidebar on the right.
I was pondering how corporations within capitalism operate as communist dictatorships internally. I was wondering why it doesn’t bother me as much as a country operating as a communist dictatorship.
And the answer is: you can leave that corporation and go to another one any time.
Whereas countries that become communist dictatorships have to put up walls to keep people from leaving.
So the real horror isn’t the communist dictatorship. It’s the communist dictatorship you can’t leave.
Kinda like bdsm I guess. Consent is everything. “Take everything I produce and redistribute it as you see fit, Daddy!”
This looks to be the safety and efficacy study below, no mention of potential side effects though.
