Eritrea and Burundi along with North Korea are the only countries that have yet to roll out COVID-19 vaccination campaign.

This was revealed by WHO chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyseus in his October 13, 2021 coronavirus briefing.

He bemoaned the increasing lack of vaccines which according to him impacted a number of African countries stressing his call for more access to jabs.

"As you know, 56 countries who were effectively excluded from the global vaccine marketplace were not able to reach the target of vaccinating 10% of their populations by the end of September - and most of them in Africa.

No, Burundi? Really? The launching pad of the Rwandan and Congolese Civil Wars (1 and 2 for The Congo)???

I figured they were an idyllic haven for black folks. That’s what I learned in black history month at work, anyways...

Strangely, not every country on earth wants to exterminate elderly people.

Africa has a total population of 1,381,671,201 as of this year.

Total wuhan deaths 215,588.

Compare to North America with 371,787,408 with total wuhan deaths of 1,118,579.

Something isn't adding up right.

Africa is considerably larger than the U.S., so maybe population density isn’t as much of a factor in the spread. I also can’t help but wonder if/how distribution of such things as hydroxicloroquin, and ivermectin to combat malaria, and river blindness, might have impacted the spread and deaths from covid there.

So what? Is that germane to the issue?

Yes, as mostly fat and elderly die.
Burundi is not loaded with either.

Sub-Saharan Africa has been taking Ivermectin for parasitic disease for many years.

Thus their very low mortality.

In some ways they are more โ€œadvancedโ€ than we are.

Good points. Hard to believe Africa is doing better than the most developed world on the planet.

Merck donated Ivermectin to Africa for years, a tremendous gesture of altruism under the trade name โ€œMectizanโ€.

https://www.merck.com/stories/mectizan/

But now Merck campaigns against itโ€™s use here partially because they donโ€™t make money of of it โ€” the patent expired in the late 90โ€™s. It costs about $1.80 for a five-day course now in India.

But their motive is even more sinister than a lack of profits โ€” Merck is developing a Covid pill (โ€œMolnupiravir’โ€) thatโ€™s inevitably going to be approved for widespread use, even though the early trials suggest itโ€™s half as effective as Ivermectin, the drug that won a 2015 Nobel prize for their lead scientist, and is widely credited for saving countless lives in regions with debilitating parasitic infectious diseases, such as South America and Africa. The new drug has a commitment of over a billion dollars from the government, and will cost about $700 for a single course of treatment.

If you take in to account all those in N.Y. that were old and on Medicare or Medicaid and were housed in nursing homes paid for by Government and died as a result of Cuomo sending the sick in to those places, Lot of funds were redirected or saved.Pretty sick stuff don’t cha know?
