It's good to see such progress against a major disease. With this, the Gate's programs and others maybe we can hope for the near elimination of malaria in our lifetimes.

Fortunately Republican Congress members seem likely to reject[1] Trump's proposed 11% cut to the program[2], even if it seems mostly because it was setup under Bush, not because it is effective.

You're suggesting they would have cut that because it was effective...?


I think the suggestion is that cuts are largely determined by the regime that instituted the program, independent of effectiveness.


Yes, this.
