#1 Death is lighter than a feather. Being saved by Juice/Crusader vaccines is heavier than a mountain.

#6 Dengue is a widespread disease. It occurs anywhere that the carrying mosquitoes exist, mostly within 30 degrees or so of the equator. Most people who get the infection don't even know they have it. Somewhere over 10,000 die each year from the disease worldwide.

Pakistan may be more vulnerable because of the govt disorganization, medical incompetence, etc.

#8 Nonsense, Eric. It is better that hundreds of thousands of people die each year from mosquito borne illnesses than we use DDT.
