What a fantastic development, over 30 years in the making!
But, do you think this will create a population explosion in the affected countries? Africa already has huge problems with feeding itself.
Although the vaccine is a godsend to the children, I foresee big problems for the future.
Just a personal view. |

"Hooray! Another racist eugenics thread!
People would not be asking this question if it was a vaccine for a condition that kills millions in rich, white-majority country. "
This ^^
This breakthrough will save so may lives now and in the future. Having worked in Africa and worked with the people it’s fantastic news. |

People have larger families in societies where they aren't confident of all their children surviving. Hopefully this can change, just as it did in this country. |

This!
We should control population by controlling birth rate. Not by expecting people to die early by diseases. |

Yes
I've worked with a lot of orphanages in east and southern Africa. At one point life expectancy where we worked was 37. |
