Earlier quoted context omitted.

An RNA vaccine is starting human trials next year, and likely won't have these problems. https://academictimes.com/first-vaccine-to-fully-immunize-ag...

It'd be a great silver lining for this pandemic to turn out to be the kickstart for a new generation of vaccines to curb malaria and such

There's an article in Wired arguing it's helped fix the economics of that https://www.wired.co.uk/article/mrna-vaccines-economics

Fantastic news. It’s such a debilitating disease even for people who don’t die from it. A whole life of frequent crises.

It has killed atleast 50 times more people than covid, but its shocking how little coverage it has received over time, mostly because its not a concern for many ‘first world’ countries.

Curious where the 50X number comes from? From what I see, around 600K people die a year from Malaria but that is not 50X of world wide covid deaths?
