Taking vaccines to point of use

One of the things that first surprised me was the fact that we give billions of pounds away every year in aid to the third world and yet despite all this we still have not rid these people of some of the most basic diseases.

Now of course I know it is incompetence and corruption that cause this and that is going to be very difficult to overcome.

This breakthrough however won’t fix the main problem but will go along way in curing some of these diseases. Vaccines that don’t have to be kept refrigerated 24/7. This means that they can be transported easier and in greater quantity so they can reach the parts that other vaccines would be unable to. Read here.

Of course by making these people live longer without increasing their capability of getting food and water will create a different type of issue. One I think we should resolve by giving them all AK47s so they can ‘fix’ their governments. Otherwise instead of dying of diptheria they simply starve to death and take more with them.

This technique is a tool that can be used to bring light into the dark but it cannot be used alone. It needs several things together to improve the lot of these people. It can be done. It just isn’t being done and millions die because of PC issues, government inefficiency and corruption.
