Скачать или смотреть The Malaria Vaccine That Changed Everything

Malaria has haunted humanity for thousands of years—killing over 600,000 people every year, mostly young children in sub-Saharan Africa. For decades, scientists struggled to make a vaccine that truly worked.

Now, Oxford’s R21/Matrix-M vaccine has changed history. In a landmark Phase 3 trial across Africa, R21 showed 70–75% efficacy in children, beating the first-generation RTS,S vaccine and surpassing the WHO’s own target. Even in high-transmission areas, protection reached about 67%.

Why this matters:

First malaria vaccine to cross the 75% efficacy threshold.

Cheap and scalable—produced by the Serum Institute of India for just a few dollars per dose.

Already approved in countries like Ghana and Nigeria ahead of WHO guidance.

👉 After centuries of struggle, humanity finally has a powerful tool against one of its deadliest diseases. Could this be the beginning of the end for malaria?
