Another Day, Another Anti-Vaxxer Dies of Covid

Wrong.

Africa has the lowest infection and death rate of anywhere in the whole world.

Why has Africa suffered fewer COVID-19 deaths than predicted?

“The predictions of mass COVID casualties were based on a misunderstanding of the continent,” says Wamai, a Northeastern associate professor.

Africa has accounted for a relatively small number of deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic. Richard Wamai, a Northeastern associate professor of cultures, societies, and global studies, wanted to know why the official numbers differed so widely with projections from the early days of the pandemic that Africa would be especially vulnerable to the disease.

“The predictions of mass COVID casualties were based on a misunderstanding of the continent,” says Wamai, who has co-authored a new paper that details why the gloomy predictions have largely gone unrealized. “There are lessons we can learn about how the continent has handled the pandemic, or how the pandemic has manifested in the continent.”

Wamai notes other factors in Africa’s favor, including a preponderance of countries where people spend more time outside than on other continents. Africa also features the youngest population among global regions, with a median age of 19.7 years that is roughly half as young as that of the United States (38.5) and the United Kingdom (40.5), which have been hit hard by the pandemic. And people in Africa suffer a relatively low burden of noncommunicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and cancer, which increase the risk of dying from COVID-19.

Africa also has the LEAST testing and medical infrastructure for reporting anything... including deaths.

Then there's all the regular reasons for dying like tribal conflicts and militias from their various fighting. Then there's AIDS...all sorts of reasons why people die young there. The poverty rate is extraordinarily high.

So any sort of data coming out of there is going to be completely dishonest.

Corbevax is coming. It doesn't command that cells make commie virus proteins like the mRNA vaccines do, and they are not out to make billions. Learn more. Tito's vodka is helping to fund Corbevax, so at least have a shot of Tito's and quit being such a chickenshit.
