>I happen to be amongst the two billion malaria infections in the past decade and fortunately for me, an artemisinin therapy was enough. Unfortunately, there is a growing amount of resistance to these treatments so people are taking artemisinin-based medicines and not getting better.
it took basically less than 20 years of mass use for the resistance to develop. Life finds a way. It looks like any one drug would giving time end up with resistance. We probably need some approach that can be routinely promptly adapted in response to the malaria adaptations. Googling mRNA malaria brings a bunch of stuff, and judging by the covid vaccine example may be this time we're going to get technology capable to match/beat the malaria adaptation speed.
