Medical ‘experts’ struggle to explain Africa’s very low Covid vaccination and death rates
American Thinker ^ | 27 Nov, 2022 | Thomas Lifson

Frantically searching for any explanation but the obvious ones.

Even in the face of data showing that Covid “vaccines” do not prevent transmission of the virus but do cause extremely high rates of adverse events to be reported, the US (and much of the world’s) medical establishment remains fully committed to pushing universal vaccinations. The G20 meeting recently included plans for a global vaccine passport that would prevent international travel by those who have resisted the pressure to receive the spike protein-laden jabs, and many august institutions of higher learning such as Yale and the University of California demand that their young and (mostly) healthy students receive the spike protein dosages as a condition of study on campus.

If there is one dramatic case study that seems to upend the vaccination absolutists, it is Africa, many of whose countries are too poor to have mass vaccination programs, yet which has the lowest death toll from Covid in the world. The AP reported last year: Scientists mystified, wary, as Africa avoids COVID disaster

[T]here is something “mysterious” going on in Africa that is puzzling scientists, said Wafaa El-Sadr, chair of global health at Columbia University. “Africa doesn’t have the vaccines and the resources to fight COVID-19 that they have in Europe and the U.S., but somehow they seem to be doing better,” she said.

Fewer than 6% of people in Africa are vaccinated. For months, the WHO has described Africa as “one of the least affected regions in the world” in its weekly pandemic reports.

Some researchers say the continent’s younger population -- the average age is 20 versus about 43 in Western Europe — in addition to their lower rates of urbanization and tendency to spend time outdoors, may have spared it the more lethal effects

You should be able to get it for under $100. $1,000 is too much! (just kidding)

Corrupted Science can’t possibly study anything and come to a reliable conclusion. They are delusional with respect to Covid so truth will elude them.

It could also be due to Hydroxychloroquine, which is taken regularly to prevent/treat malaria. Here’s a link to search results:

I believe the correct answer is “hydroxychloroquine.” It is widely used in poorer countries to prevent malaria.

Or perhaps the inability to decimate the population of a far away land is frustrating to them. That would be just a guess....of course.

Easy to explain. We are like the overprotected chickens in the chicken farms. Protected and xaxed for several different things so have a weak immune system. In many 3rd world countries they survive by their body immune system so it is stronger to repel foreign or new viruses.

Few fatties. They get a ton of fresh air and sunlight in many areas. (Sub Saharan)

The average Covid death was just above average life span, and had 4+ comorbidities. (In the US)

Ivermectin and HCQ. The article explicitly notices that areas of high Malaria exposure (and use of HCQ to combat the parasite?) were least affected by Covid.

Experts baffled? More like leftist tyrants baffled..

Bingo. Never mind Africa. Sweden proved that natural immunity works. Doing nothing is more effective than fake vaccines, lockdowns and masking.

The American Thinker article title correctly put “experts” in quotation marks. Oddly, the article failed to mention ivermectin and HCQ. … THAT’S something to think about. Who is the author? Or is WHO the author?

It is not “just a cold”

The folks I know that hot it had a very hard time. They were healthy prior and it hit hard

I would suggest that China was targeting white folks

Yep. My take is that we’re now witnessing the beginning of a wave of “die offs” — the herd is being culled. (Those who are addicted to the “boosters” are willingly self-culling.)

--- "Frantically searching for any explanation but the obvious ones."

An even larger explanation is that this SARS CoV2 is in the same clade as SARS CoV, one of a number of cold viruses. AND there has been a pandemic of media hysteria, but not a true pandemic of death.

As of today....

( 6,631,158 global deaths / 7,935,827,098 global population ) x 100 = 0.0836 percent mortality rate over almost three years.

Sources: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/ and https://www.census.gov/popclock/

There has been a media event, a racketeering of worldwide consequence with the few made enormously wealthy and the many more impoverished.

The cheap, off-patent drugs play a role, without a doubt. But the larger frame is that after almost three years AND according to official data, the "pandemic" rises to the level of less than one-tenth of one percent mortality across three full years.
