On one level, this is excellent news, of course.
But as far as Africa* is concerned, will it really make that much difference**?
* There are nearly one million malaria deaths a year in Africa.
** There were also over a million deaths from AIDS, caused by "the might of greed and inhumanity over morals and virtue", apparently. Crikey, that's a new on on me. Plus around ten million children who die in civil wars, or in the famines that those civil wars cause or are sold into slavery.
