A great man, with a great quest. We do have the little bastard on the run, and I agree, we MUST finish it off.

Malaria Vaccine
N Engl J Med. 2011 Oct 18.
A Vaccine for Malaria.
White NJ.
Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Abstract
It's been a long time coming, and indeed we are still not there yet, but it is becoming increasingly clear that we really do have the first effective vaccine against a parasitic disease in humans. If there are no unforeseen disasters, the RTS,S/AS01 Plasmodium falciparum malaria vaccine should become available in just over 3 years. The World Health Organization (WHO) has already taken the unusual step of indicating that it could recommend this first malaria vaccine for use in some African countries as early as 2015, depending on the full phase 3 trial results that will become available in 2014. . . .
