I'm also glad Dr. Alonso was born in Asturias.

Ah, yes, a billion dollars spent on distributing a vaccine to the poor kids in Africa so they can grow up and die from starvation instead is a billion well spent. Cool

The only people who will actually benefit from this vaccine are rich tourists on vacation in malaria infested areas.

I'm glad I've not turned cynical.

Oh, don't be so cruel. Is it better not to do anything?
