From what I remember, both the press and the general public were almost universally critical of Mbeki's stance on AIDS. Granted, there are people who supported him, but the majority didn't. The government eventually cleaned up its act and ARVs are now freely available to people infected with HIV/AIDS, something which Mbeki fought against.
I just know about AIDS denialism after looking at Mbeki's policies. Glad that AIDS and vaccine denialism isn't really big in Africa.
On the other hand, if malaria were a disease that's heavily present in the US, there will definitely be anti-malaria vaccination people and they'll be about as loud voicing their opposition as they did with measles and such.
do mind that antivaxx bullshit going mainstream is both recent and due in large part to trump and the gop
this ongoing crime scene should've been unthinkable and was unthinkable, this time two years ago, and we have trump to hang for
