One of the posts you thought "would do better in the conspiracy thread" was actually mine, with good news about malaria.

There were only 3 deaths from malaria in the Philippines last year, and a dramatic decline in reported cases since this thread was started over a decade ago.

Elsewhere in the world malaria is still a deadly disease. Over 260,000 children in sub-Saharan Africa die from malaria annually. My post reported on a long-awaited malaria vaccine ("RTS, S") which acts against P.falciparum, the most deadly malaria parasite globally.

It is far more difficult to produce an effective vaccine against a parasite than bacteria or viruses. Even a reduction of 30% in severe malaria is a significant achievement.

Conspiracy ? Not in my opinion. Thanks for your apology. I'll think twice before posting again.
