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

The thing is, even in those areas where river blindness or elephantiasis is endemic and ivermectin is used, it’s only taken one time, once per year, sometimes twice per year.

Yes, I agree about the sunshine and younger population. Also, fewer people in climate-controlled buildings and shopping at outdoor markets. And no nursing homes.

I agree that "nothing lasts forever" and especially in terms of adaptation to preventatives and cures in medicine, but one factor in the "Africa" question is that it is perfectly arguable that there has essentially been no pandemic there. Period.

As posted on this thread: ( 6,631,158 global deaths / 7,935,827,098 global population ) x 100 = 0.0836 percent mortality rate over almost three years."

It may well be that the whole "event" and rush to ventilate and inject $3K per patient with remdesivir contributed significantly to death rates in the US, something obviously absent in sub-Saharan Africa. After all, pre-pandemic, medical error was seen as the third highest cause of mortality.

It may turn out the "we" -- in our government's handling, warp-speed nonsense, NIAID hospital protocols and more -- are contributory problems worth adding to the picture of the whole.

Don’t think you can get HCQ at the feed store. And it is not cheap like people make you think...neither is Ivermectin for people. I was kind of shocked at how much Ivermectin cost when I got a script for it after everyone was talking about how it was only a few pennies in India

If anyone wants people scripts instead of risking the feed store www.myfreedoctor.com is still treating people.

That was another reason I went with the IVM paste, 🐎 Several hundred dollars for pills and at least one freeper never received theirs and fedgov was starting to crack down on shipments.

I have a one liter bottle of Ivermectin in my fridge.
We give it to our puppies/dogs as a dewormer. You measure out the amount based on weight. With the canines we squirt it on their food. With us humans we measure out a syringe and squirt it in our mouths. It has a very bitter taste. Best to wash it down with something.

"Fewer than 6% of people in Africa are vaccinated."

Emphasizing that I'm not medically trained, please consider the following.

Many Africans may be exposed to enough sunlight to produce enough D3 to maintain healthy immune system.

On the other hand regarding only 6% Africans vaccined...

Yes, true. But I was talking about getting the Covid shots and boosters. Blacks weren’t getting them in the high numbers as the white folks. At least that is what I read.

I have no doubt Africa had far less severe problems with Covid. Although South Africa is an outlier. It also has higher rates of obesity, diabetes, etc,, too. And being more developed, more people living/working/shopping in closed climate-controlled buildings.

The bit about those with natural immunity to malaria not getting sick with Covid is also intriguing. See:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4015279/posts?page=54#54

Hospitals are not a fun place to be (especially if you are sick!) and you can pick up various nasty bugs in them, too, so there’s that, as well. Africa doesn’t do nursing homes, either, and a heartbreakingly high number of Covid deaths in the US and other developed countries were of nursing home patients.

I think it likely that Africa fared better during Covid for a constellation of reasons.

Correct. Vaccination rates were lower among blacks in the US despite their death rate from Covid being higher.

I was also replying to Nifster who wrote “I would suggest that China was targeting white folks.” Maybe it’s best to reply to one person at a time, so mixups don’t happen and will try to do so in future.

Myfreedoctor gives you a script to your local pharmacy. I used them to get my scripts when they were using a different platform. They have expanded to treating other illnesses.

--- :I have no doubt Africa had far less severe problems with Covid. Although South Africa is an outlier."

As of today, here is the official data by which to calculate the mortality rate for South Africa.

( 102,428 SA deaths / 61,103,747 South Africa population ) x 100 = 0.167 percent mortality over 35 months.

Sources: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/south-africa and https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/south-africa-population/

Less than two-tenths of one percent over almost three years does not qualify for me as a "pandemic." South Africa is also an "outlier" compared to us.

( 1,079,197 US deaths / 335,660,410 US population ) x 100 = 0.322 percent mortality over 35 months.

Sources: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/united-states and https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/us-population/

Therefore one may repeat the claim that "Covid policies" in the US have deadlier comparatively than in South Africa, than in all of sub-Saharan Africa. Two times deadlier under Fauci, the NIAID, CDC and FDA than South Africa, as a comparison.

Medical error. Rampant medical error. "Gold standard" medical error. Remdesivir-recommended medical error. Courtesy of....

As one hears on the news these days, "Brought to you by Pfizer." And Moderna, J&J, Astrazeneca, and Gilead.

There is a poster here familiar with the Chinese. Early on she thought it was to target certain groups but also said that China would have no qualms about killing their own people for World Domination.

The way Trudeau scurried off after being reprimanded by XI I think China doesnt really have to resort to bioweapons to gain Dominance

New conservative talk radio station here has a couple of doctors with shows and both had patients who couldn’t get an Ivermectin prescription filled. Fauci/CDC/MSM had the pharmacists all scared to fill prescriptions for HCQ/IVM. Might be different now. One patient called into the show and told his tale and how he ended up going to the feed store for apple flavored dewormer.

I saw the “guidance” that some fedgov agency sent to state pharma boards and the subsequent guidance they sent out to pharmacists. Here in MO, they didn’t say they couldn’t fill scrips but used a lot of cautionary language.

All very sad and infuriating.

I don’t they need to bother, either. They were doing fine without Covid. I can’t get over how stupid our leaders have been about China over the past three decades plus.

I think it was an accidental lab leak from that leaky Wuhan lab. Lots of evidence to support that:

https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-origin-of-covid-did-people-or-nature-open-pandoras-box-at-wuhan/

It is interesting that some scientists are looking into whether some people might be genetically more susceptible to Covid, but it’s not based on race. There is some reason to think there might be something to that. Maybe we will find out if their research bears fruit.

I got my scripts in 2020. Yes, I had to shop around locally to get them filled. I think I remember the problem with ivermectin was supply but the problem with HCQ was some wouldnt fill it unless for a different use.

But now I need HCQ for something else related to autoimmune disease so easy to get but not cheap. I haven’t tried to fill an ivermectin script this year so dont know if still difficult.

I meant South Africa is an outlier compared to the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. My apologies for not being clearer. The Covid death rate in SA was significantly higher than other sub-Saharan countries. I have not seen any figures for hospitalization rates, but would guess they were higher in SA than in other sub-Saharan countries, lower than in the US.

Maybe natural immunity among the 95+% for whom Covid is not a serious illness (and in Africa go totally unidentified and unreported) works better than the current vaccines.
