| − | They look to be standing up. The black flecks appear to be confetti, and they are all at or below foot level. Their feet and arms do not give the impression of corpses.
| + | Surely the joke is that malaria can't be transmitted from one human to another, so being around someone infected with malaria at a "malaria party" wouldn't expose you? It's not contagious, you have to get it from a mosquito, so hanging out with infected humans as depicted would be pointless. |

| − | This entire thing is off. Does anyone else notice that there is no vaccine against Malaria? Thus, the entire discussion about vaccines is pointless. Time for me to do some editing! [[Special:Contributions/173.245.56.142|173.245.56.142]] 15:22, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

| − | I don't know if this was part of the explanation that was removed, but as the comic and the explanation allude to and include pox parties, which are often done for infectious diseases that can be vaccinated against, I decided to re-add some vaccination information. I think it ia as much a topic of the comic as Malaria, which is why I put it in a seperate section, similar to the malaria information. Also I think the fact that there is one single time where humanity actually has to be applauded for making something go extinct was in my opinion interesting and cool enough to be included, even if it's perhaps one step removed from the actual comic itself. I actually had to hold myself back to not include a whole story about how they found out that for some wierd reason milkmaids would way more seldom get sick than other people, and find out that most of them had had cowpox, which is relatively harmless (especially in comparison with something like smallpox)and create the first vaccination from the cowpox variant. Actually the word vaccination comes from vacca, the latin ord for cow... so cool.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.58|108.162.219.58]] 04:55, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

| − | :The explanation now isn’t much different than the explanation before, most of it was added back later. You can see exactly what was changed with View History. Yes, I know this is from two years ago. [[User:Netherin5|Netherin5]] ([[User talk:Netherin5|talk]]) 14:13, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

| − | Do you think the joke could be that a malaria party would involve getting bitten by mosquitos? [[User:DownGoer|DownGoer]] ([[User talk:DownGoer|talk]]) 00:26, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
