Why not extend that logic to malaria itself? Or cholera, HIV, or any other pathogen? Perhaps start selling "Save the plague!" bumper stickers?

Hell, for all we know, polio is the cure to HIV and HIV is the cure for cancer. I'm not saying "Oh god save the mosquitoes," I'm saying there could be negative impacts beyond the consideration of the scientists performing the study.

If we exterminate the plague, how will we know when the end times are upon us?

The End Times are why True Believers are not only Pro-Life but also Pro-’liferation (of nukes). At least, according to that Maher movie, and the Left Behind series.

Don't forget the christian organizations that pay to send Jews to Israel since that's also a pre-requisite for the End Times...

as the Italian comedian Corrado Guzzanti pointed out, True Believers are not only Pro-Life but also Pro-After-Life
