Medical ‘experts’ struggle to explain Africa’s very low Covid vaccination and death rates

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

They'll lie like they have been doing.

[RummyChick]

sure doesn’t cost me $2 in the US

[ShadowAce]

BUT
A) Myself and family did not get vaxxed against covid
B) I went to work everyday during the scamdemic
C) Not only did no one in my home get covid, but we never even went to get tested once during the entire scam.

Hey--Me too!

so perhaps anti-malaria drugs do have some impact on whether or not you get “sick” from covid.

I've never had any anti-malaria drugs.

[CatHerd]

Yes, the our State Department was recommending Larium back in the early 1990s when I was leaving for SE Asia. I read up on it and decided against it. Took the doxy instead.

I ran into a nice American lady there who did take the Larium and was still having horrible side effects long after stopping it. She was secretarial staff and had terrible tremors in her hands from the neurological damage and was afraid she would lose her job. I felt so sorry for her. I'm glad you did not get those side effects, and so sorry for all our military who did.

Non-Compliant_Deplorable: Yes, its newer. As chloroquin-resistant malaria grew more and more prevalent, they had to come up with other drugs.

Chloroquine resistance spread map:

There are mefloquin-resistant strains in some areas now. Nothing seems to last forever.

[PGR88]

As a side note, I remember earlier this year, Joe Biden telling the world he had his 4th covid vax

How many is he up to today?

Or is that no longer a political theme?

[jpsb]

due to Hydroxychloroquine, which is taken regularly to prevent/treat malaria

We have a winner.

[CatHerd]

Sorry, we don’t. See my #36:

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

Are the people in Africa as obese as they are in the western nations?? Just askin!!!

[wgmalabama]

Add in that they probably treat symptoms when sick. Not using the “nothing we can do” until RunDeathIsNear and ventilation are the west standard protocol. Combine with HQC and Ivermectin uses and … low death rates.

[gloryblaze]

But that requires a prescription, and the docs won’t treat the unvaxxed ...

[CatHerd]

HCQ and ivermectin are not taken regularly in Africa. See my #36:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4112285/posts?page=36#36

Another reason for lower Covid rates in Africa could well be: no nursing homes.

[Pollard]

I paid $10.99 for ivermectin at the feed store. $12.99 for doxycycline, also from the feed store. Paid shipping only for the 5000ui Vit D, zinc 25mg from Bannon’s warroomdefense.com/. $6.99 for Emergen-C from the dollar store. For a little over $30, I kicked covid’s ass instead of it kicking mine.

[jpsb]

Thx for the info, I’ll take it into consideration.

[Jaysin]

” I’m glad you did not get those side effects”

I usually tell my wife that I was severely neurologically damaged long before I ever went into the military!

[G Larry]

Key factors:

Population lacks several of the co-morbidities present in the West.

HCQ and Ivermectin already in wide use there.

Covid had low probability of gaining a foothold across the population.

Vax is USELESS anyway, not to mention presents health dangers that exceed the virus.

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

Thanks for the correction. It sounds like more granular data is needed to see if rates were lower where ivermectin is used.

The article did mention a younger aged population with fewer elderly. Perhaps sunshine and more time outside also help.

[Reily]

What are the obesity rates in Africa?
Also, higher percentage of youth population.

Obesity and age are high risk factors in the West, particularly the US.

[Jane Long]

Medical “experts”…struggle….to find OBVIOUS.

Its’s the HCQ and Ivermectin, dummy “experts”.

I remember when the $hot $hills ridiculed early articles/threads, which explained exactly this.

[GingisK]

The folks I know that hot it had a very hard time

I had it, and it was no big deal. Headache and fever for one day, tired and lethargic for four days, cough lingered for about a month.

I'm way overweight but otherwise healthy.

[TomGuy]

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.

As such, they likely have a greater natural resistance factor.

The majority of deaths of the unvaxxed elsewhere were in individuals who had severe underlying healty conditions. Most healthy unvaxxed who did contract the virus recovered.

Now, the world seems to be suffering from a epidemic of the vaxxed who are falling dead.
