find it interesting that during covid two of the biggest producers of HCQ had their factories destroyed by arson.

Or as Carlin put it...

“That’s what you gotta hope for, you know, that you get more than one cancer so they eat each other up instead of you. In fact, the way I look at it, the more cancer you got, the healthier you are.”

"People who routinely deal with Ebola, Dengue Fever, Sleeping Sickness, Yellow Fever, malaria, Lassa Fever, Marburg, cholera, and etc. aren’t even going to notice something as trivial as COVID."

That's actually a very good point, and there aren't hordes of nurses with overamped PCR test kits in Africa throwing false COVID positives. For all we know actual COVID cases in Africa are running on par (what that truly is), with the rest of the globe.

And as far as co-morbidities the obesity rate is generally much lower among Africans, especially among men. I also wonder if being outside more has anything to do with it.

There was a map of African countries that used either ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine (I don’t remember which one) to prevent parasitic infections. The countries that used the drug had much lower infection rates than the ones that did not.

Is it hydroxychloroquine then? Maybe I got the drug wrong.

I noticed this early on in the pandemic, that Africa was not getting hit hard.

They know the reasons. Ivernection, HCQ etc... If these people are already taking HCQ for malaria prevention they are ahead of the game.

These scientist know the reasons but they will not and cannot tell the reasons because their other scientist/doctors are too busy making $ from these failed vaccines in the 1st/2nd world countries.

And these people are not real scientist who are mystified, they are cowards who run from the truth like dracula from a cross.

Like it has been shown several times.

I have used ivermectin myself, worked for me. Because of the testing that can’t tell the difference between covid and flu, it is difficult to know if you have had it twice or not.

“Ivermectin is not used in Africa for prevention.”

True, it isn’t. Furthermore, P. falciparum is chloroquin-resistant in nearly all of of sub-Saharan Africa, so HCQ would not be much of a factor either.

It can’t simply be population density, as there are very densely populated urban areas which have largely been spared. There is one difference, though. Even in big cities, there are few buildings with central air conditioning. I am wondering if that is one piece of the puzzle.

No, they are not taking HCQ to prevent malaria. Google “chloroquine resistant malaria map”. You will see it includes nearly all of subs what an Africa, meaning HCQ is useless. Ivermectin is not used as prophylaxis, either, not even for worms. It is used to treat roundworm, etc.

HCQ to prevent malaria?

“On Friday, researchers working in Uganda said they found COVID-19 patients with high rates of exposure to malaria were less likely to suffer severe disease or death than people with little history of the disease.

“We went into this project thinking we would see a higher rate of negative outcomes in people with a history of malaria infections because that’s what was seen in patients co-infected with malaria and Ebola,” said Jane Achan, a senior research advisor at the Malaria Consortium and a co-author of the study. “We were actually quite surprised to see the opposite — that malaria may have a protective effect.”

Or, the treatment for malaria—HCQ—protects against covid. As we all know.

I’ve been on it for 19 months. No covid yet! No mask, no vax, no social distancing. Just HCQ and IVM prophylactically, and D3, C, sunshine and exercise.

The vaccine manufacturers can't make billions of dollar in Africa so they are pushing their propaganda elsewhere.

Exactly.

Yep, nearly every country has distribution of this drug to its population to prevent parasites etc...

Just like the states in India that started distributing this as a preventative saw their rates drop quickly while states in india that did not, had more and more cases.

The problem with the HCQ hypothesis is that it is not used as malaria prophylaxis in sub-Saharan Africa. Do an internet search on “chloroquine resistant malaria map” to see for yourself.

Gee, its a combination of use of HCQ and Ivermectin and folks NOT being vaxxed so they 1. Can’t continue the spread 2. Covid had basically died out or they have herd immunity bc variants not allowed to form bc of lack of vaxxes
