Political Action - Malaria
September 21, 2003 by Beth
Filed under war & peace
We’ve been putting together a site over at FAMVIN to try to coordinate efforts at political action aimed at eradicating malaria. I hope this is an effective campaign - folks in the first world are generally blissfully unaware of the malaria unless they want to travel and discover that some destinations require that you dose up on anti-malarial drugs not only while you are there, but prior to departure. And folks - there are cures for this! Here and now. Not that we need give up on finding a cure for HIV/AIDS at all, but while that’s going on, it’s time to look at what we can cope with already.
