Data shows massive disparity in excess deaths among Black Americans
PBS ^ | 5/17 | Amna Nawaz

Posted on 05/17/2023 4:11:21 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A pair of new studies from the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the toll of racial disparities in health for Black Americans is even starker than we knew. From 1999 to 2020, Black Americans experienced 1.63 million excess deaths compared to white Americans and COVID widened the gap even further. Amna Nawaz discussed the significance of this data with Dr. Lisa Cooper.

Too lazy to check the article to see whether or not they checked to see if differences in obesity rates was a significant confounder.

Or living in Chicago....

we all will probably die with something sooner or later.

Many deaths of young blacks attributed to “lead poisoning”.

Blacks have become their own worst enemies — crime and bad health habits = shorter lifespans.

Africans in Africa use lots of quinine. How do I know this? My sister’s husband practiced medicine in East Africa for 30+ years. American blacks never heard of quinine.

Ditto with 12 times more crowded than United States, India.
Death rate in India from covid was significantly lower than United States. I still remember the bitter quinine pills my mother would insist on all kids taking it regularly to minimize Malaria. Might have been the main reason I escaped India at age 20, and never went back to live. Doing shockingly well here at age 83 with regular exercise.

That is racism. Enough white people must be killed to even up the ratios.

The amazing low rate in Africa is more likely due to the giving out of Ivermectin to just about everybody for its antimalarial properties.

Re: Africa. High rates of HydroxyChlorquiine to save off malaria has led to fewer instances of Covid deaths. IIRR. Thoughts?

The obesity rates for blacks is over 50%. That is the real cause of most medical differences.

Career paths often chosen by blacks might also contribute to an early demise:
Carjacking
Small armed robbery
Burglary
Rapping
Pimping
Drug dealing

Other than perhaps AIDS, African blacks don’t have nearly the co-mordidies of American blacks.

Maybe if they reduced the rate at which they are killing each other?

Thank you. Also sub Saharan Africans live in a cruel environment. I’ve read tons of safari books where they get mauled, savaged, snakebit.etc.. and so Long as they don’t convince themselves they’re going to die they survive.

I flat out don’t believe that Covid killed blacks at higher rates than white people. The amazingly low rate of Covid in Africa bears this out.

The “amazingly low rate of Covid” in sub-Sahara Africa is due to the widespread use of Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, and Azithromycin to combat endemic diseases and parasites.

The low rate of Covid in Utter Pradesh, the poorest and most populous state in India is because the government went door to door to distribute Doxycycline and Ivermectin.

Aided, abetted, and funded by Fraud Fauci and his minions, the Chinese developed SARS in 2001, with additional toxic genetic sequences attached to the payload virus, targeted against the Taiwanese.

Still supported and funded by Fauci and his merry band of fellow sociopaths, the Chinese developed MERS IN 2012, with additional toxic genetic sequences attached to the payload virus targeted against Arabs and Jews.

With Fauci and crew still funding continuing development of new pathogens in China, around October 5, 2019, SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a biological warfare laboratory in Wuhan, China. By now the Chinese had figured out how to add toxic genetic sequences to the spike of the delivery vehicle (a coronavirus already present in the human population), as well as the payload (a Henipavirus virus from a fruit bat in Ghana). The Chinese targeted this weapon at populations from Central Asia and sub-Sahara Africa. In particular, the Proline aRginine aRginine Alanine (PRRA) genetic sequence added to he spike protein is highly effective at attacking the ACE2 of individuals with a genome from sub-Sahara Africa.

Unsatisfied with this level of mayhem, those involved also attempted to achieve gain of function on the Ebola and Marburg viruses, apparently without success to date.

As Fauci’s successors and assigns continue to fund the development of new Frankenviruses in China, there will no doubt be another human-manufactured pandemic in the near future.

The good news is that due to the fragile nature of these bio weapons, all of the simple, proven, low-cost prophylaxis and cures that worked against SARS, MERS, and the Wuhanic Plague will still work, all of the things that the FDA lied and said would NOT work. That list includes but is not limited to:

Azithromycin

Doxycycline

Hydroxychloroquine

Ivermectin

Inhaled Corticosteroids

Aspirin

Ibuprofen

Zinc

Vitamin D3

Vitamin C

Obesity, junk food, alcohol, smoking, meth and cocaine co-morbidities are not as common in Africa.

I have several friends who are emigres from Africa. Their idea of a snack, and they type of thing they fix for their kids, is a boiled yam or a dish of berries.
