Best Way to Fight Malaria In Africa Is Do Nothing

I am old enough to remember seeing calls in local papers in 1965 to help end malaria in Africa. 45 years later, I am still seeing calls to help end malaria in Africa.

And as long as we keep sending mosquito nets, food, and money Africa will remain the most impoverished, underdeveloped, and dependent stink hole of the world. In my article 70 Years of Helping Africa I displayed charts showing that countries which received the most foreign aid over the decades were also those whose median per capita income growth were most stunted.

Want malaria to disappear in Africa? Get the F* out of Africa. Stop sending food, nets and money.

Mosquitoes do not cause malaria - poverty and ignorance cause malaria, so sending mosquito nets does not solve anything. See the malaria map here. The countries with no malaria at all are the developed countries. Do you think mosquitoes avoid developed countries? No, they are there as well, however, as I said, mosquitoes do not cause malaria.

Sadly, because of our interference and good intentions, there are now more cases of malaria in Africa than 70 years ago. Why? Because we, and by we I mean idiots like Bill Gates, keep sending malaria nets to Africa.

And do you know why Africa is filled with poverty and ignorance? Because we keep sending them food thereby killing off their local farmers, we keep sending mosquito nets thereby killing off the local entrepreneurs who could make a living with spraying insecticides, and we keep sending money thereby killing off any incentive to be productive, educated and self-sufficient.
