RE: Learn About Malaria from me, a Nigerian | My Malaria Experience

Yes malaria our old friend. I have had it numerous times and have lost count. The first time almost killed me and it has been much less sever since then. Each year it gets milder. I get it about once a year like a cold. It kicks my ass for a few days but I always respond nicely to a regimen of Lonart.
It is much more pertinent to my every day life than some other trending virus and can you imagine it took 30 years to get a vax.

Man, you stay in Ghana, you're on non-African that really relates with what I've said here. Our old friend indeed😅😢
Once in a year ain't bad for an American 😎 👍
I've just heard about the vaccine, myself. 30 years, phew! Very welcome development, though, I'll do my research on it to see if it is less controversial than the covid vaccine, then I'll decide if it's something I would take. And, yea, malaria plays a greater role in my life than the covid vaccine.
Yes it is something we all struggle with and has affected so many children and lives. Even if it is an effective vaccine I am afraid that this whole COVID thing has done a lot of damage to Vax programs that have a better risk vs. reward profile. I know in Nigeria things have been strained for a long time and we have seen the results of that in a polio resurgence in the last 10 years because of the fear of vax.
