Thanks for your input. This thread is " sticky " ( unclosed ) because it does include common sense and understanding from many members, with regular updates from myself. 1.5 million deaths in the world, and countless more illnesses, due to mosquito transmission - every year - is no trivial matter.
It should not be long before we have a vaccine and specific treatment for dengue. Meanwhile it may help to explain - clearly and to the best of my knowledge - why they are taking so long to produce. I have done the same to explain the situation with malaria. Many members view this thread. Some have suffered malaria and dengue. All wish to avoid them. Information here should be accurate, and evidence - based.
