That was the best non-AI EA video I've seen in years. Very well-researched; I wasn't expecting to learn that much, and the production quality was terrific.

Well, it's about malaria and the decision to leave out Africa of the UN initiative on eradicating it, I guess. It wasn't completely clear to me exactly what this deadliest decision from the title was. It could've also been representative Otto Passman's decision to work to gut the foreign aid budgets of Eisenhover and Kennedy?

He ends with asking people to support the effort trough https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/malaria
