I got it from the actual CDC website and not an incorrect secondhand source like yourself


global fund site
In the same year, malaria killed more than 1 million people, mostly children in Africa.

This website your posting is using 11yr old data for it's malarial deaths while the CDC data is from 2010

Also this website is actively touting for money which means it probably would be in it's interests to beef up the numbers ( it also gives no sources on it figures)


you than assume the cdc is off because of age, yet it is from 2002, not to mention recent drop of around 20-30% of deaths may very well bring age down today to 600,00-700,000. Also ignoring the many,many reports that all say they most likely underestimate number. Than amazing claim your number is more accurate, with no reason to believe so. We have multiple places including who and cdc that all say over 1 million. Remember my op is not about how many die today, with a 20-30% reduction. Your last links miss this point.
the CDC numbers are from 2010

All the reports your using are misquoting both the WHO and CDC, therefore i naturally have to discard these websites your posting.

As to my assumptions on accuracy well lets just say I trust the CDC and WHO more than some fundraising .org site using data from 2002

your linking to sites that misquote there own sources, therefore you links are WRONG


consider this
About 3.3 billion people – half of the world's population – are at risk of malaria. In 2010, there were about 219 million malaria cases (with an uncertainty range of 154 million to 289 million) and an estimated 660 000 malaria deaths (with an uncertainty range of 490 000 to 836 000). Increased prevention and control measures have led to a reduction in malaria mortality rates by more than 25% globally since 2000 and by 33% in the WHO African Region.
that's only + or - around 170,000 deaths worldwide out 3.3billion at risk people hardly a groundbreaking destruction of the Green whatever
