Here's some info pulled right from https://www.againstmalaria.com/:

* Half a million people die each year and 400 million fall ill [with malaria]

* 70% of them are children under 5

* #1 killer of pregnant women

* Malaria is preventable

Malaria nets cost $2. Antimalarial drugs are dirt cheap in the developing world. If you want to impact human suffering and increase human health, this is a good place to start. Not with trying to extend the long and already pleasant lives of rich people in the West.
