And posters obviously aren't limited to one handle, for that matter, are they, Unkle?

Boy.

Just desperate to not address the fact that Africa does not vaxx and does not have Covid, aren't we?

Have anything to say on the topic?

Now I know why 2600bro blocks all of your posts.

Not a mystery at all, they use a drug to prevent and treat malaria called Hydroxychloroquine.

And natural immunity. And spending time outside in the sun and fresh air. That crazy stuff our scientists call “misinformation”.

Yep.

When the facts and arguments are not on your side, close your eyes and block your ears.

Life expectancy is 59 in cameroon, 64 in Gabon, they barely go past 65...

This map shows it quite clearly.

"we know vaxxes work so it makes no sense these people without vaxxes dont have covid."

when a liberal belief conflicts with reality it's reality that is wrong apparently...and these are the same people who think men get pregnant.

Compare life expectancy of African countries and the life expectancy in Europe/US-Canada...

Then look in which age groups COVID is more lethal.

To put it simply, people in Africa die, before COVID can harm them..

You are an anti-vaxxer for implying that only the elderly die from Covid.

I'm not an anti-vaxxer at all. Ha. But I realize that COVID vaccine is most useful for the elderly.

Vaccinating the whole population, might reduce transmission, prevents more deadly variants to come out, and even protect those unvaccinated.

The only certain thing regarding the vaccine is that it lowers mortality and hospitalizations.

wasn't this talked about already in a thread specifically on that issue, started by jamin?

Gee.

Did not know every topic was limited to only one thread

Why was your unkle handle banned? Heading the same way again.

How is that certain?

Why would you think unkle was banned?

The flu doesnt spread or kill very well in Africa either. Keep reaching.

https://borgenproject.org/influenza-in-sub-saharan-africa/

7000 flu deaths in sub-saharan Africa in 2015, out of a population over 1 billion. 3-4x more flu deaths in the US in 2015.

Viruses love population density and mobility.

Simply listed a fact.

Let me remind you what that is:

Africa 6% vaccinated, doing well with Covid.

By the way. Africa is more densely populated than the USA.

Just another fact

So covid is the same thing as the flu. Got it.

NY Post March 2021. An examination of population density in the 5 NYC boroughs.

**********

But we need to know more than what “common sense” tells us. We need a serious, scientific study to quantify exactly what accounts for the disparity.

So why does it go largely unexamined? Perhaps because drawing attention to it would make nonsense of the like-minded COVID clerisy’s articles of faith. Chief among them, often cited by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and health professionals, is that “urban density” is a main driver of virus spread.

But shock! Manhattan is by far the most densely populated borough, with over 71,000 residents per square mile compared with 36,000 in Brooklyn, the second-most dense.

Yes, Manhattan lost some residents after the virus struck, but the mostly temporary relocations occurred in a few rich corners of the Upper East Side and Tribeca, and its overall density probably didn’t change drastically.

Notwithstanding our substantial numbers, Manhattan’s current new-infection rate is in the mere 2-plus percent range; it’s above 4 percent in The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, per state data. Manhattan’s hospitalizations and deaths are far fewer than in the outer boroughs, too, city data show.

Be sure to come back 55 years from now and bump these post . Im curious to see which one of you was correct.

Takes me back to the days when India was the darling of the antivax, anti science, anti reality crowd.

Good times.

Africa doen not Vax, but at the same time they do not test. So nobody knows real numbers. And mass-media is ignoring completely if the hospitals are full there, if there is shortage of oxygen etc. Who cares real african death-toll numbers?

Same pattern for supposed failure of vaccines

First the antivaxxers had a raging hard on for Israel. Then the UK. Then Singapore. And each time it became clear after some middle school level statistics and dara that the unvaccinated were significantly more likely to become hospitalized or die from Covid. Once they went home devastated on that front, they started obsessing about cases, cherry picking regions that were seeing rises in breakthrough infections, and completely ignoring regions with similarly high, or higher, infection rates (help Murica) where the unvaccinated were significantly more likely to contract covid.

Everything antivaxxers touch turns to sh!t
