Malaria,

The reason West Africa was not overrun and taken over completely by the colonizers,it was called the white mans grave for a reason. Have you seen a foreigner fall ill with malaria symptoms, its scary for them and the symptoms are worse

My opinion,our resistance to malaria endemicity took years of evolution for our race, blacks routinely go about with some level of malaria in their system and fall ill when the parasite load is higher than usual.

We need to know that attempts to rid us of this biological advantage will work long term,so we do not make ourselves susceptible at a large scale than before,Imagine malaria as a new covid

2ndly is it actually in our interest as a race to loose this biological advantage that makes our terrain unhabitable to others that are more advanced than we are on a large scale, let us all remember the part of our history where malaria was a large portion of why West African Invaders could not stay back. Should we perhaps look at other strategies to save our people from malaria deaths,such as strengthening early diagnosiis and early treatment to prevent deaths accrued to the disease amongst many others

There is always more than one way to skin a cat,National Interest is to put the Nation and its furture today and always first in all decision making,

No doubt ..... why can't we make our own?... can't our universities and research centres find a way? The bushmen be living in the jungle for centuries .... in the midst of the malaria mosquitos ... without vaccines ... doesn't it mean they know something?

Do you still live the lifestyle of bushmen in your cities?
The something known by bushmen is what needs to be codified into vaccines, not so

... why don't we look to them instead of looking for pharmaceuticals? We are willing to spend billions on imported vaccines .... vaccines we should stay clear of since we know of the population reduction agenda and do not know the contents and long term effects of the vaccines... we cannot trust the manufacturers. It is time we take care of our own peoblems.

For how many decades have vaccines been used successfully to eradicate diseases like polio, smallpox, chickenpox etc?

How do you propose we do the bold part if our governments are not employing and paying workers well to provide basics like water, sanitation, healthcare, education, research etc?

What magical way do you have in mind please

Or maybe their votes don't count
Not really. They are just scared to vote. Votes recorded during elections in Nigeria is not proportional to our population

It's not about lifestyle .... it's about capitalizing on what they know to formulate a vaccine. ... that's a big headstart.

I'm not saying vaccines do not work ... I'm saying why can't we find our own. Vaccines can eradicate diseases where the virus do not have a "home". E.g ... Covid cannot be eradicated because it is a natural virus of animals. You want to get rid of Covid then you have to kill all animals. Chicken pox is not eradicated. Lastly..... a vaccine makes one immune from that disease. That's been done in Africa for hundreds of years ... the reason the bushman can live in the midst of malaria mosquitos ... they have immunity. FYI ... do you know itnwas a slave ... Africans slave ... that enlightened the 'White Man' on immunity? ... in the midst of an epidemic? Google the history of vaccines/immunization.... they will tell you where it began.... but never who discovered it. Let's make our own or copy from the bushman .... what he drinks or whatever to become immune.

war against mosquitos might be a better option than a vaccine due to conspiracy theories. I'm guessing

What about the unrecorded votes

And not voting is the smart way to make their votes counts, innit
Maybe both have no effect. You vote, an idiot rigs. You don't vote, the same idiot wins.

If you are not the greater idiot won't you work to make sure your vote counts, since you know how politics determines every aspect of your life through public policies enacted by the governments- local, state and federal

You think like a child. Neither you not I can do anything to make our votes count. Would you start fighting and shooting corrupt election officials, the police, and army?
Please what should the ordinary man do to make his votes counts?
Let's talk like grownups.

How many are the corrupt election officials, the police and the army compared to the total number of the ordinary man?

If we don't work hard in various ways before the election itself, to make our votes count, please who do you expect to do the work for us

I hope you understand my grownup talks of responsibility for outcomes now.

Again, you choose the illogical. The idea that the entire population would take on the army and police is an impossibility. It has never happened so let's stop dreaming.
