chainarong Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 A noble effort would be need to eradicate Malaria by 2024 , the female being the carrier mosquito changes it's strain every three months , possibly the latest from Australia is the biology attack , where the male is made impotent , then releasing them into the air, another is a new vaccination that lasts two years, both worth looking at, however Thailand needs to clean up its waterways, rubbish lying around making breeding grounds for malaria, a lot needs to be done to achieve this target........................

thesetat2013 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'm curious! Why don't they just come up with a cure for it? They have already developed so many cures. At least, they claimed to have anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acharn Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm curious! Why don't they just come up with a cure for it? They have already developed so many cures. At least, they claimed to have anyway! Why can't they come up with a cure for yellow fever? Why can't they come up with a cure for rabies? Why can't they come up with a cure for tetanus? Why can't they come up with a cure for rhinovirus (common cold)? Why can't they come up with a cure for cancer? Peter Fleming accidentally stumbled across a yeast that produces a chemical that kills a lot of different types of bacteria. I wouldn't want to go back to the days before that (and when I was a kid penicillin was not yet universally available). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansnl Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Acharn, the reason why for many, not all, illnesses there is no remedy, might be because there is no profit in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak2002003 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Another promise.. another crackdown... makes them sound professional and impressive to most of the Thai population. But nothing will happen.. and just to stop any people starting to ask why these promises and crackdowns are not happening they will come up with another super headline NEW CRACKDOWN on something else.

BKKdreaming Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Do these Ministers have a number of stupid reports that they must put out each month , saying how they will do this and that ? Minister of propaganda today says the Caviar production will double , blah blah blah...... Malaria , Dengue , etc are a worldwide problem and millions are being spent to find a cure But its a moving target as the Mosquitoes change or become immune to the spray they use. I think a better way for the Minister would be to tell the people positive steps they could do today , standing water etc...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 The Ministry of Public Health would do better to donate the 2.283 billion baht to the Malaria Vaccine Initiative, a project funded by GlaxoSmithKline and donors led by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. They have spent hundreds of millions of dollars over 30 years to develop the Mosquirix vaccine. It has been endorsed last year by the European drugs regulator and the World Health Organization. Perhaps to be used in Africa this year. But Thailand, the Hub of Medical Miracles, wouldn’t receive any accolades. For the sake of reputation, better for the Ministry to reinvent medical technology and take credit for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangon04 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) All Thai mosquitos will be "urged" to carry Dengue instead. Foreign mosquitos will be banned from entering Thai airspace unless they get a work permit and a medical certificate..

Mudcrab Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) DDT was very, very effective. But the then 'New Age' Nazis decided that it should be banned because it allegedly caused a soft shell syndrome on an eagle egg somewhere. The eagle egg shells were saved but hundreds of millions of people have perished since. Edited April 26, 2016 by Mudcrab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
