It is estimated that over 200 million people worldwide are afflicted with Malaria.
Hardly “much hyped”.
*sigh* as replied to another, it is not the DISEASE that is over-hyped, but it’s the fact it’s always mentioned as the purpose for hydrowhatever. Compared to the chronic permanent autoimmune diseases like lupus. People know it’s for malaria but not so much for other more chronic diseases.
