Once more, 'the science™' is hard at work 'vaccinating', with 'partly protective' jabs, little concern for a truthful accounting of safety issues, to say nothing about legacy media gaslighting
Yes, the age of trust has evaporated. I feel embarrassed it has taken me so long to shed my naive belief in a (basically) benevolent state/government structure, independent media and law, ‚the‘ science. Buying into the idea of global entities being required to solve ´global´ problems. It sounds good on a very superficial level, great slogans for the lazy minds. Freedom, democracy, health, solidarity - who would not support those values? It’s too easy to capture peopleś hearts and minds with those words. I have learned it’s far too easy to fall prey to propaganda. We must never forget to ask ourselves who/what stands behind behinds all those big words? In the end it’s money and power pursuing their agenda. Nothing more. It was a very hard lesson learned.
I join you with nausea, despicable. And ditto prior to covid I had not given much thought to vaccines (helped by being of an age where it was an unlikely event any way), now, deary me “vaccines” have joined, no actually, they have surpassed the distrust and disdain I had for most mainstream prescription drugs.
I wonder if they're limiting access to HCQ and IVM, both known to work well against malaria, in order to boost uptake. It's not like we haven't seen that ploy before...
I seriously doubt it’s even possible to vaccinate against Malaria given its disease profile. My great aunt was a Catholic Nun and missionary in sub Saharan Africa. She moved to Africa (Zimbabwe I think?) in her early 20’s and spent over 50 years there. She developed Malaria (it’s basically a fact of life for anyone who lives there, everyone gets it) early on and it used to flare up occasionally (it’s a disease for life, it lies dormant with occasional flare ups). I seriously doubt a vaccine would help as it appears to be a blood borne disease? She lived until her late 70’s or 80’s and loved her time in Africa. In fact what I remember most about her stories from Africa is that picnics in the forest were the riskiest activity. Apparently the monkeys are quite territorial. So if you get too close to their tree they will poop in their hands and throw it at you! Is there a vaccine for that yet?
I'm neither a doctor nor an 'expert™' but a historian, which is why I know about, say, sanitation, clean water, and the like. You can even throw in questions, such as the role of accidents vs. iatrogenic causes of death (the former were the leading cause of death after WW2, and it's not today).
Your anecdotes and recollections about living in Africa and with malaria are well-taken; malaria was a serious problem in many Mediterranean areas until the 20th century, and the reasons it's no longer are--clean water, sanitation, and the like (but then again, this would benefit Africans, as opposed to Big Pharma).
One more thing: I recently spoke with a bunch of archaeologists from South Africa (yes, they were 'white') who described Zimbabwe as it was vs. the 'shithole' it has turned into (their words).

And the realisation that, however bad Inimagine the corruption running deep, it’s actually way, way, way worse.

Same same, same same.
I’ve also increasingly recommend reading food labels and the like.

What a pertinent question; I didn’t think about these two drugs, but, yes, I wouldn’t rule it out.

Finally, since you mention Zimbabwe, you might wish to check out the picture postcards I recently posted from there: https://espc.substack.com/p/how-to-grow-ones-postcard-collection
