I love irony. Quinine strikes again. europeans found it impossible to work in the tropics until they started using this stuff. It is hte source of tonic watyer which was then used to provide gin and tonic as a malaria defense.
Never perfect but still way better than nothing.
The point is that it is possible to put a useful therapy out on the shelf right next to vicks coughdrops.
It used to be readily available on the shelf back in the fifties. Not in the candy form either.
What this tells me is that this will soon be readily available through normal supply chains.

This is 100 times better than any vaccine man can make ... Quinine extract is made from the bark of Cinchona tree.huge population of these trees grow in South India & west Bengal & Sri Lanka & Africa ... 100 years back , the local healers used to give dried cinchona bark powder
