Well, gee whiz. Is this news? Of course not! But our Doctor-in-Chief has decided it's in the US' best interests to get involved in ebola. As for malaria, it's carried by air borne insects that breed in swamps. All that is needed is an extensive surge of spraying these swamps with DDT to wipe them out. Gasp! DDT? What a horrid thought. Using a banned substance that scientists say is not really responsible for all the horrors claimed to it. Anyhow, read the article @ http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/9/16/ebola-is-deadly-butmalariastealsmorelives.html
The WHO estimates that in 2010 there were 219 million cases of malaria resulting in 660,000 deaths That means ~0.3% of those infected with malaria resulted in death (much less than the flu which is ~10.0% world wide on a good year). And of these deaths ~90% occurred in Africa because they lack the basic access to diagnose and treat it paired with an environment in which it thrives. Now imagine 219 million people being infected with Ebola where even with treatment it is unlikely you will survive. It's the difference between a ~90% mortality rate with treatment of a healthy individual infected with Ebola and a near 0% mortality rate with treatment of a healthy individual infected with Malaria. This is why it needs to contained.

It was a "big deal" when they introduced the cure to the Market. The market invests in profit driven news, Fox News. Fox News scares people to death that the world is going to end. They buy buy buy the cure. It's no different than the bank bailout, they just learned who were the easy pushovers. It lost traction when people found out the USA had a patent on the disease. For most anyway. The rest are out there spreading information that will make another Corporation money by spreading Fox News Propaganda. Because that is what their non-American Media does.
Feel free to start a drug company and then lose money selling the drugs for less than it cost to invent them and then produce them. Or invest your retirement money in drug companies and then write them letters urging them to lose that money.

Exactly-and crucially Malaria isn't contagious. - - - Updated - - - Big Pharma is awash with cash. Trust me when I suggest that any loss incurred in developing a cheap drug would be more than adequately covered by their vast profits in other areas.
I have no reason to trust your unsupported assertions at all and how high a profit is a "vast profit", what percent? How about your socialized system doing its share in developing and producing these drugs and tax you to pay for them rather than expect we Americans to supply them to you at our loss.

Walt, do you spend your free time looking for dead threads to resurrect? Although I will admit, the potential cure for malaria is extremely good news.
News? Yea. Horrid thought? Yea. Get ready for this and considering a massive conspiracy to hide a cure . . . so big pharma can make their bucks. http://www.naturalnews.com/041392_master_mineral_solution_malaria_cure_red_cross.html It's real. I've known it for years and used mms myself for other issues. It is safe if used with the protocol. Even then, hard to imagine a problem occurring without intent to create one.
