Abuja, Nigeria (CNN)Coronavirus deaths in Africa rose rapidly over the past month, as fatalities surged by 80 percent within the last four weeks, the World Health Organization has said.

WHO's Vaccine Introduction Officer for the African Region, Phionah Atuhebwe, told CNN on Monday that the continent was witnessing an unprecedented rise in coronavirus fatalities.

"COVID-19 death rates have increased across Africa, with the highest weekly rate (6,343) to date reported during the week starting 19 July 2021," said Atuhebwe.

"Deaths increased by 89%, from 13,242 to 24,987, in the last 28 days, when compared against statistics for the previous 28 days," she added...

...Only around 1.5 percent of Africa's more than one billion people have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Much of the continent relies on donations,,,,

Kind of strange that we hear of no such variant’s hitting China don’t you think? 80% is a high percentage, but what are the actual numbers? If the number was 5, that means it has shot up to 9 now. Perhaps that is why they state 80%, because 4 more deaths would scare no one.

Never mind I see the actual numbers now. Still no big deal.

We have 16,000+ plus deaths from the vaccines, and that number is most likely very low.

Well, there is a trustworthy organization.

If the WHO states something, look for the opposite to be true.

Are they using the failed FAKE PCR test to determine if they have COVID-19?

Isn’t the head of WHO an Ethiopian guy who is a puppet of China and on their payroll?

He’s not even a doctor.

Holy cow! That explains a LOT. Honestly, I hadn’t considered that their lower life expectancy played such a large role.

I’ll have to study that some more. It was a mystery which escaped an easy answer (the low Africa figures).

A flu virus that peaks in the heat of the summer?
Ah, how natural!
Wonder what a chilly December will look like.

Oh we do. You only have to read the right source.

See here:

and here:

Just two of the reports.

I thought about that as I watched a video showing the surging crowds going toward that airport.
Last week, we saw a plane filled to overflowing with people, not one of them wearing a Mask!

Here is a relevant historical perspective:

1972 the World Health Organization (WHO) Bulletin No.47 refers to creation of an immune virus and suggests that a useful way to study the effects would be “to put it into a vaccination program and observe the results.” It is theorized that WHO used the smallpox vaccination program in Central Africa for this study, since the spread of HIV infection coincides precisely with the most intense and recent smallpox vaccination campaigns. Information on the Central African countries most infected with HIV precisely matches WHO figures indicating the number of people vaccinated in these areas. The virus requested would selectively destroy the T-cell system. (1972 Federation Proceedings of WHO).

One more:

1985 WHO Vaccines for smallpox and tetanus are laced with female reproductive hormones to induce permanent sterility to “eliminate 150 million excess Sub-Saharan Africans” according to WHO documents.

EXCESS HUMANS? Think about that, and look around at what’s going on.

Would be interesting to know what percentage of the population routinely takes HCQ or Ivermectin for endemic diseases pre-CoV.
