Sounds promising!

Well, we knew Chloroquine worked for prevention. It sounds like this protocol uses Chloroquine to prevent a viable infection while living malarial parasites are injected into the subjects to initiate an immune response before they die off. Wow.

I feel sorry for the three losers in the study, though.

quote:

They were compared to a control group of eight volunteers, who were given 50mg of pyrimethamine - a different type of malaria tablet.

This was found to be less effective, with seven of eight volunteers (87.5 per cent) having protection from the African malarian strain and seven out of nine volunteers (77.8 per cent) being protected from the South American strain.

It's about time an effective malaria vaccine was developed. It will save millions of lives.

One big fringe benefit - none of those vaccinated for malaria will be catching COVID-19 while getting the treatment.

very good news. i vee seen institut pasteur teams worked in CAR on that in the 80s.

Zimbabwe strain is resistant to chloroquine though.

If one looks at the CDC site for Malaria, strains in a lot of other countries are resistant as well.
