\"\"<\/p>\n

While we have been preoccupied with the effects, good and bad of the COVID-19 vaccines, a new vaccine has recently hit the market: an anti malaria vaccine. The target group for this vaccine is Tropical Africa. Of course, the vaccine is protected by patents, which means that the patent holders have a legal monopoly on the sale of this vaccine for at least 20 years.<\/p>\n

The effect of this vaccine will be to drain Africa of significant financial resources which the continent need not spend to control malaria. On the African continent there is a plant , Artemisia Afra<\/em>, a cousin of Artemisia Annua <\/em>from China. Herbal teas made from both varieties\u00a0 have been used to treat malaria and flu-like symptoms. Interestingly, the Vietnamese credit Artemisia Annua<\/em> for turning the tide of the war in Vietnam against the Americans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why do we have a Vaccine now against Malaria? Simple. Patents are not granted for discoveries – only inventions. Therefore a vaccine is needed if you want to make money; if a medication is found or invented against Malaria<\/p>\n

Only those infected with the parasite would need to take the drug; a vaccine on the other hand could conceivably require every person on earth to be vaccinated. “Mucho Moola”, particularly at a time when private interests have significant power over WHO policies and practices. I am particularly interested in Malaria because I almost died from the disease when I was 5 years old. The probability of a resurgence of malaria is non-zero and we have to be on guard here in Dominica.<\/p>\n
