World Malaria Day 2012 #endmalaria

World Malaria Day, April 25th, was established in 2007 by the World Health Assembly to recognize the efforts, successes, and ongoing needs of the global health community in the fight against malaria. The 2012 World Malaria Day theme is "Sustain Gains, Save Lives: Invest in Malaria" and reminds the world that while significant progress has been made (malaria deaths have dropped by 33% in Africa since 2000), only continued investment in control efforts will ensure that we can stop deaths from this preventable and treatable disease. Support World Malaria Day by tweeting, posting and sharing the #endmalaria hashtag. Take a Minute to #endmalaria (www.malarianomore.org/minute).

And DDT ISNT banned you fucking idiots....Over 15 countries currently use it to this day....It's banned in the US but plenty of countries dealing with endemic malaria use it...and guess what it doesn't eliminate shit!!!

Their are over 15 countries that have been using DDT for awhile now and all it does is reduce local transmission....

Just saw this on "aol". Tell ya what. When We (Americans) end the sorry lives of rapists and child molesters costing me tax dollars to feed and clothe these pukes every time they draw a breath, then I MIGHT consider chunkin some money towards Africa 6000 miles away on mosquitoes. How bout that? Call me a heartless bastard, I dont really GAS**.

You didn't even know that is was a parasite lol...You said "like hundreds of OTHER viruses lol"...Since when is Malaria a virus??

No one created Malaria...It's been around for hundreds of thousands-millions of years with different strains infecting and parasitising different animals...Primates being one group of animal that certain strains infect....Plasmodium exists like any other life form on earth....To survive and make a living... unfortunately this is at the expense of whatever it infects.
