BBC, you should give the text version as well, either full subtitles.

But, it would be nice to have subtitles in the youtube video directly,
you may accomplish that with free youtube feature "auto-timing" in a few seconds
thank you so much
Not watching. Is bill gates sending those vaccines out? 🤔 yah. Kill shots.
can you call a vaccine a drug? I don't think so.
The Malaria parasite is a very complex organism and a master of disguise because it changes its appearance at each step of the infectious process. Unlike viruses and bacteria. Development for a vaccine must have been very difficult for the P. falciparum changes shape in the human body which makes it hard for attacking proteins triggered by the vaccine to regognise the parasite. I really hope that this vaccine will also prevent cerebral Malaria, which is one of the leading causes of neurological disabilities in the kids even after recovery.
Many thanx
When coming to India?
You are a great team! I really love your program and innovative methods 🌹
