Malaria claims the lives of a million people a year. Bill and Melinda Gates have been in the news, since Bill retired from Microsoft, as philanthropists "out to eradicate malaria." But wait!
The Varsity » First year Univ of Toronto student develops new treatment for malaria: "Jessie MacAlpine is a first-year life sciences student who has developed a treatment for malaria. She has filed for a patent on the treatment, and she plans to facilitate its distribution so as to maximize access to it. MacAlpine’s project, Mustard Oil as an Apicomplexan-targeting Drug Therapy for Plasmodium falciparum, was extraordinarily successful at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, where she won Best of Category for Medicine and Health Sciences. Most recently, MacAlpine was the Canadian ambassador at the European Union Contest for Young Scientists, where she won the International Cooperation Prize."

CONCLUSION
OMG for realsies, this is the story of the century ... Yay ... HURRAH for Jessie McAlpine!!!
As for Bill and Melinda Gates showering money on institutions ...
" ...These grants ... [see Grants HERE] ... come at a time of new momentum in the global fight against malaria—we're seeing growing commitment among political leaders; impressive gains in prevention and treatment efforts; and encouraging scientific progress. It is exciting to see such a diverse range of efforts underway to combat the disease more effectively..."
I know, reader, it looks like we are making fun of malaria victims ... we don't mean harm in that way ... who and what we are making fun of is anal retentive billionaires who can't live in a world with imperfections.
