The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed a second malaria vaccine to protect children against the deadly disease, which killed 619,000 people in 2021.

science has demonstrated the inferiority of the mosquito race. they're a drain on our society and resources. I'm not afraid to stand up and say what i mean with respect to the mosquito question.
