The lack of an effective vaccine for malaria is certainly not from a lack of trying or money, it is just a difficult pathogen to find an effective vaccine.

There is no mention of the fact that it can be used safely and be extremely effective in the battle against malaria. Many studies have shown that if it is used properly, other animals and plants are not harmed, as some would have us believe. Why is there no push to use DDT in the proper ways to kill mosquitos?
