3. Regular use of drugs to prevent Malaria that are also effective to deal with Covid that we aren't allowed to talk about in the US because they don't make Pfizer or Moderna money.
American republicans don't live there, that's why.
Accurate. Even though excess deaths in places like S.Africa show how brainless wazzu is, not having insane right wingers that enable death cults has to be a net positive!
One-fifth of the world’s population lives in Africa
Africa accounts for just 3.6% of global administered covid vaccines
In Africa, 83 percent of people still have not received a single dose
RESULTS According to Our World in Data, as of mid-February, 2.7 percent of all confirmed covid-19 cases were found on the continent. By comparison, North America saw 22 percent of all global cases; Europe more than a third.
QUESTION: How did Africa have this kind of success without mandates, vax passports, lockdowns, masking their kids, remote learning, social distancing?
Posts like this indicate admission standards for WSU back in the day were lax. Records indicate Wazzu24601 did his in crayon.

Oh Wow! Looks like places that test waaaay less than most of the world have the fewest COVID deaths! STOP TESTING NOW! ZERO TESTS = ZERO DEATHS!
Seriously, how brain dead do people have to be to keep posting the same easily debunked garbage and expect to be taken seriously? Can't imagine how small you mind would have to be to be entertained by doing this.
They have 1.3 Billion people but a lot of them don't even have enough paved roads.
I don't think most got tested. That is probably only the case in South Africa, Egypt, Tunisia, Marrocco and some other better developed African countries.
Even in South Africa there is very little testing, I have lots of friends I am in regular contact with. It costs > R800 for PCR and R400 for RAT ($80 and $40 AUD resp.)
The excess deaths statistics show that deaths from Covid has been understated at least 10 fold
Most of Africa has very little mobility
Another thread started by stupid anti vaxxers. Thought we were going to have only one moderated thread.
In South Africa, where there were sufficient resources to conduct testing on a level akin to the US and Europe, there were lots of positive cases and deaths were on par with rates in Sweden and Austria. But most of Africa did not have the resources to conduct testing. Nigeria has done about 4 mil tests and has a total population of 214 mil. SA did 22 mil tests on a population of 60 mil.
Thatis not 22M people though. See above on costs. The only time people get tested is if they are admitted to hospital - for whatever reason, but especially suspected respiratory issues- or if they are rich enough to splurge R800 everytime they have a cough.
Compared to here in Australia, free drive through testing all over. I have only been tested once, as a requirement for minor surgery, and done lots of interstate travel. A colleague , same age as me, though went every Sunday night at one stage.

The answer is: as brain-dead as an antivaxxer. We’ve known for almost a year now that antivaxxers are one giant death cult completely uninterested in good faith debate, discussion or learning about covid or vaccines. Rather, they are a giant death cult that see everything in a politically tribal way; they’ve also put lots of clowns out of work; even the most seasoned of clowns can’t come off as ridiculous as your average antivaxxer
"But Afrobarometer’s nationally representative surveys in five West African countries (Benin, Liberia, Niger, Senegal, and Togo) offer less optimistic findings: On average, only four in 10 people say they would be likely to try to get vaccinated, including just one in three Liberians and one in five Senegalese. Most say they don’t trust their government to ensure that the vaccines are safe."
If you have no test kits then you can't test the population. If you can't test the population then you won't have any positive Covid-19 people. It doesn't mean there isn't Covid-19 present, it just means you aren't doing the test for it.

You'd think someone would notice all the millions dying from this pandemic were it taking place on this continent with 4 times the population of the USA

Easy. Infected white folks and infected Chinese folks don't visit Africa nearly at the rate that visit, Europe, North and South America. Also Africans did wear masks.
The Global response to C-19 is the biggest hoax ever perpetuated on a populace. Africa just ignored western media which is why they had so much success. Blue State Mouth Breathers locked down, mandated, masked their kids and social distanced. They virtue signaled to Instagram
"I just took my fifth jab and my second grader is learning CRT".
But Blue States suck and have the worst results of anyone. People cannot move to Red States fast enough. How many people are moving to BLUE California? ZERO. It sucks. Like New York, Like Illinois. 100% democrat control always leads to poverty and rampant crime and bad policy like lockdowns and mandates.
But the left's destruction of our cities is not the biggest scandal....
Hillary Clinton’s team fabricated the Russian collusion hoax, paid a literal Russian agent to spread it, lied to the FBI about it, which then lied to federal courts about it so Obama could spy on Trump’s team. It’s far and away the worst political scandal in U.S. history.
You are literally the dumbest person on Letsrun.com. A complete idiot.
Hey, I have some oceanfront property in Antarctica where its sunny and 80 degrees everyday to sell you.
It is so entertaining watching the covidiots go through contortions with stats to prop up their dying narrative. Africa doesn't care about your "Media flu". Never will, they have actual deadly diseases pike typhus, malaria. Plus universal access to effective, cheap and safe treatments like ivermectin.
And Pharma doesn't care about Africa....not enough profit. It's a perfect arrangement.
Guess why there isn't malaria in the US? Because from 1947-1949 the government sprayed DDT everywhere in infected areas, including inside people's homes. You think all the people terrified of the science behind the vaccine would let the government cover their entire community in DDT today? Spray inside their house?
But you are right, if malaria was a first world problem guess what we would have - an effective vaccine. There is actually an approved vaccine, but, it's not that great. There would be a better one if it was a first world problem - and I agree, money is the only reason a better vaccine doesn't already exist.
Research suggests that the near-eradication of malaria in the US was accomplished in large part by improvements in drainage systems -- much of the work done by the WPA -- and the introduction of window screens. Pesticides played a part, of course, but much of the progress was made before the introduction of DDT.
Pfizer just tried to pitch the vaccine to India, who responded with a request for trials since they never completed a proper trial. Pfizer deferred and bugged out like the guilty little biatches they are.

Games up. CDC admits withholding the truth from people they are infecting. Absolutely nuts but those who are on the vaccine train have had fair warning from us. wouldn’t listen only tried harder to force their politics
3. Regular use of drugs to prevent Malaria that are also effective to deal with Covid that we aren't allowed to talk about in the US because they don't make Pfizer or Moderna money.
It's a combination of factors. I think at some posters are discounting the effect of age. Not only are Africans younger, they have very few people over the age of 65. In Kenya, the population over age 65 is 2.5% compared to 16.5% in the US. 75% of Covid deaths in the US have been over the age of 65.
In the US, we have millions of people over the age of 50 who are kept alive today only by advances in modern medicine. These are the people who are dying in droves due to Covid.
In Africa, the people who reach age 65 have exceptionally hardy immune systems and have most likely been exposed to diseases that convey some level of immunity against covid, such as malaria.
I think that years from now when this pandemic is over, and scientists can look back objectively at Africa, they'll conclude that exposure to malaria and anti-malarial drugs like hydroxychloroquine and anti-parasitic drags like ivermectin were also major factors.
Unfortunately, these drugs have become so political that they can't even be researched objectively. As case in point, look at the most recent study on ivermectin that found it was ineffective, yet the data showed that it reduced deaths by 60%! The researchers discounted the death rate because"It wasn't a primary objective" in their study.
Of course, lack of testing is also a factor, but it's just naïve to think that it's the only factor.
