A million African children are killed every tear by one of the most deadliest sicknesses for children, malaria. When you get bitten by an infected mosquito, a parasite spreads through the bight, causing malaria. The parasite travels to where the liver matures, and enters the bloodstream. The only defense in preventing the disease has been sleeping in bed nets, and mosquito sprays. That was, until now. A vaccine was created to help prevent the disease in about 50 percent of the children in Africa. Though 50 percent may not seem like a lot, 500,000 children being lost a year is a lot less than 1 million children. The first vaccine against a human parasite could go on the market in about 3 to 5 years, that is, if it’s proven to be safe. The goal of the vaccine is to immunize children at their youngest high-risk years against malaria, and for them to develop immunities as they age. The development of this vaccine has taken over 20 years and was created with the help of GlaxoSmithKline, the Malaria Vaccine Initiative, the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and others. Over half a billion dollars has been spent on this project, with the help of GlaxoSmithKline and the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative, which is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.  The two articles from both sources were actually exactly the same; word for word, quote for quote, even title for title. Though one article was from the New York Times, and the other was from Seattle times, both of the authors were The Associated Press, so that might’ve been the reason why that both articles were exactly the same.  It’s amazing that they’ve finally created a vaccine that can help fight against a human parasite; well, that’s only if it’s proven to work. Though if it does, saving 500,000 children in Africa, really does make a difference. Hopefully they’ll get to the other 50 percent and help them too. 20 years and half a billion dollars is a lot of time and money to be working on a single vaccine, but hopefully, it’ll all be worth it in the long run.
