You must be willfully blind due to reasons known only to yourself to believe that the millions of health care professionals in the US would allow this to happen. They are smarter than you so why haven’t they figured this out? Oh, I know, it’s a conspiracy involving millions of health care professionals and they enjoy killing their patients.

BTW, can you explain why the pharmaceutical companies would adopt a business model that kills their customers? How can that be profitable for them?

The medical professionals and pharmaceutical companies remain liable for criminal acts. What you have described is a conspiracy to commit criminal acts. Now why would millions of health care professionals and millions of employees of pharmaceutical companies join this conspiracy knowing they would be caught and prosecuted?

Coronavirus in Africa: Five reasons why Covid-19 has been less deadly than elsewhere

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-54418613

Reasons:
1. Quick Action: So, right from the beginning, most African governments took drastic measures to try and slow the spread of the virus. Public health measures - including avoiding handshakes, frequent hand-washing, social distancing and wearing of face masks - were swiftly introduced.

2. Public support: In a survey conducted in 18 countries in August by PERC, public support for safety measures was high - 85% of respondents said they wore masks in the previous week.

3. Young population - and few old-age homes
The age of the population in most African countries is also likely to have played a role in containing the spread of Covid-19. Globally, most of those who have died have been aged over 80, whileAfrica is home to the world’s youngest population with a median age of 19 years, according to UN data.

4: Favourable climate - “We looked at the early spread [of the virus] in 50 cities around the world. The virus had an easier time spreading in lower temperatures and humidity,” said Mohammad Sajadi, the lead researcher.

5: Good community health systems - The Covid-19 pandemic came at a time when the Democratic Republic of Congo was dealing with its biggest outbreak of Ebola yet. Neighbouring states were on high alert, and the health screening of travellers for Ebola was extended to include Covid-19.

The article doesn’t mention ivermectin, vitamin D or HCQ as possible causes for the low death rate.

“What you have described is a conspiracy to commit criminal acts”

That is true if doctors are told by politicians “If you prescribe certain drugs to treat Covid, you will be penalized because President Trump endorsed them?”

If my sister had not demanded treatment, she would probably be dead from Covid. She ended up in ICU. They tried to send her home.

Masks don’t stop Covid and hand-washing was meaningless. If masks stopped Covid, the nursing homes would have been spared

Most obvious answer: They just finished their biggest wave ever, by far (Jun-Sep, their Winter in the Southern Hemisphere).

The Delta variant has run its course, and the Season is over there. Zimbabwe’s curve is very much like neighboring South Africa (which has much higher vaccination rates).

Neither Zimbabwe nor South Africa are among the Countries where Ivermectin use is widespread.

Being told to commit a crime doesn’t reduce your criminal liability.

Personally, I think politicians like to mandate masks is because so many think it is effective, masks are highly visible, and politicians don’t wish people they’re not ‘doing something’. Handwashing probably has some minor reduction.

The article also mentioned too other facts. The population of the cities tend to be younger than rural areas and the lack of a sophisticated transportation networks probably reduced the movement of carriers into the rural areas which were older and more susceptible to the virus.

Another interesting tidbit was that large areas of Africa were geared up to combat an outbreak of IIRC, ebola. Also a major vaccination effort was underway against polio. It was relatively easy to switch those efforts to combating COVID.

Bottom line: the fact that the virus as affected Africa more than other countries can be explained without resort to the usual conspiracy claims about viruses and vaccines.

No but being told to withhold treatment is a crime

Masks gave everyone a false sense of security. They were more of a virtue signal. Because they wore a mask in a grocery store, they felt they didn’t need them at family gatherings and parties. Our students would attack you for not covering your nose with the mask outdoors but later go to the Kappa Sig house and party sans mask.

An African mystery: Where did COVID go?

For years they've used Doxycycline Hyclate to prevent malaria.

Doxycycline is a close relative to HCQ. Because of this many Africans have a built in immunity to Covid.

None so blind as he who does not want to see.

The only question I have is if you are being paid to shill for the CDC/pharma companies/others pushing vaxes or are you really a blind believer.

The only question I have for you is if you are being paid to shill for the death industry, ie, casket makers, funeral homes, etc. Or are you being paid by the anti-vaxxers pushing ineffective snake oil remedies that contribute to greater profits for the hospital industry?
