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:

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.
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.

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.

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.
