The U.S. military and the medical community have just announced that they’re sitting on a potential cure to Malaria. 3.3 billion people live in areas where they are at a risk of getting Malaria. There were 219 million cases in 2010 (about 660,000 people around the world lost their lives to Malaria). So, this is a huge dent into the mortality rate of Malaria to have a 100% cure. For one year as an undergraduate I did undergraduate research in a lab working for MMV (Medical Malaria Ventures) where we did extractions on thousands of specimens to send them off to a microbiological lab for Kirby-Bauer Drug Testing to find potential hits. It was exciting to think that one of them could be a potential cure, in my hands. Brute-force drug discovery is very hard, but needed. I’m glad they found a cure That’s very good. But what are they going to do about the world’s leading cause of death — abortion?
