Experts befuddled by 'mysterious' fact that Africa is less than 6% vaccinated but has avoided COVID disaster — unlike Europe and the US

What is going on in Africa?

That's the question that has so-called medical experts scratching their heads as they examine the COVID-19 data coming out of the continent.

According to a report Friday from the Associated Press, while less than 6% of the people of Africa are vaccinated, the nations on the continent are seeing fewer cases and deaths than the West — and pretty much the rest of the world.

When the coronavirus first reared its head early last year, experts around the world worried that the pandemic would kill millions of people in a sweep across Africa, the AP said. But that fear has yet to come even close to being realized.

Though scientists warn that it is difficult to get accurate COVID information in African countries, they did note that COVID-case trends are continuing to decline. For example, in Zimbabwe this week, only 33 new cases and zero deaths were reported, and the World Health Organization's data reveal that COVID infections in the country have been dropping since July.........

We know why.  Same in Amish Country.  No vaccines....which shed the virus to others.

Funny how that works out,ain't it?

Ifn we didin no betta,we mite think it be a scam,huh?

Beyond the fact they have younger populations, being poorer they probably eat less processed food, have less diabetes, heart disease, less vitamin deficiency etc that makes people more susceptible to the virus.

Either that or Ivermectin.

My doctor agrees.

Each vaccine attacks ONLY ONE STRAIN of the virus.
Each time a mutation appears, it spreads like a virus.
Relying on the vaccines uses the entire population
as a breeding ground for new strains of the virus.

Hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, etc. destroy ALL strains of the virus.
Vitamins boost the immune system, which also destroys all strains of the virus.
I take a lot of Vitamins C and D.
When I had COVID (at age 63), it was like a moderate case of the flu.
No big deal.

In Africa, hydroxychloroquine is as common as aspirin.

Less HVAC systems, and they also don't live long enough to join the risk group.

That's right = And it prevents immunity and thus herd immunity. Bad idea.

That's right too, I think.

Is there any actual data that hasn't been ground through the government grinder that shows when people catch Covid-19 that those who have been "vaccinated" really have better outcomes? The majority of people who caught Covid-19 didn't get very sick - "vaccinated" or unvaccinated. But some people got very sick - and that appears to be true regardless of being "vaccinated" or not.

It certainly appears that the death rate has been higher this year with millions of people vaccinated than the year before the "vaccine" was available.

Africa is not a destination point for travel of the infected.  They export it.

[LMAO]

Whether it’s this issue, inflation, Afghanistan, or the economy,  it seems the experts are always befuddled

[Kamaji]

Africa is not a destination point for travel of the infected.  They export it.

Neither is relevant to the issue of why the rate of infection, and in particular the rates of serious illness/death are apparently so much lower in large portions of Africa, nor why those portions appear to be fairly coextensive with those regions of Africa where ivermectin is widely used.

[DefiantMassRINO]

1.) Africa's climate is warmer.
2.) African dwellings have to allow for more natural air circulation because many can't afford HVAC systems.
3.) Africa's less developed transportation infrastructure decreases the likelihood of rapid spread via people traveling long distances.

COVID-19/SARS2 evolved to spread in caves among bats and rodents.  It's preferred environment is enclosed spaces, without sunlight, and poor outside air circulation - like schools, offices, airports, airplanes, buses, trains, hospitals, restaurants, bars, theaters, arenas, and congested urban areas.

Outdoor firepits are here to stay in colder Northern climates.

[Kamaji]

It appears to be related to the widespread use of ivermectin in many African countries (it is used as an anti-parasitic there).

Here's a study, and the conclusions

Study: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.26.21254377v1

Conclusions:  The morbidity and mortality in the onchocerciasis endemic countries are lesser than those in the non-endemic ones. The community-directed onchocerciasis treatment with ivermectin is the most reasonable explanation for the decrease in morbidity and fatality rate in Africa. In areas where ivermectin is distributed to and used by the entire population, it leads to a significant reduction in mortality.

So how does that explain places like Arizona, Mexico, South America, Etc...

And Covid-19 did NOT evolve in caves in bats. It was made in a lab by combining different components that have never merged naturally before. There is lots of hard evidence to show that they were combining known spike proteins to make humans vulnerable to Covid variants found in bats to see if humans would then carry it.

I wonder how many of those folks are taking antimalarial drugs?

(Like hydroxychloroquine?)

[Smokin Joe]

Yabbbut all those Chinese coming in there to get the natural resources just might bring a few bugs with them, just like they did in other countries (Italy, especially).

[Kamaji]

Many of them are taking ivermectin as an anti-parasitic for onchocerciasis, which is endemic in about 31 African countries, and non-endemic in 22 (and therefore not using ivermectin as a community-based anti-parasitic).

It is my understanding that, in the endemic countries, use of ivermectin is widespread.

From what I have read, Ivermectin present in the serum of the victim of an Anopheles Mosquito will kill the mosquito, but it isn't especially effective against malaria itself.  Chloroquine was in use as an antimalarial there, I am not sure about Hydroxychloroquine.  At any rate, all three drugs would likely show some benefit against COVID, especially  as a prophylactic.

The alleged discrepancy in African infection rates merits further investigation.  Is it climatogical?  Cultural?  Behavioral?  Environmental?  Genetic?  Immulogical?

Whether the Covid-19/SARS2 that escaped Wuhan was organic or chimeric, the original source virii were most likely collected from infected Mojiang miner tissue samples in 2012, and horseshoe bats in 2013 in Yunnan Province, China.

Not sure, but I don't think you were paying attention to the research taking place in North Carolina in 2014.

https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.3985

THe abstract, when I started doing research on the virus read

Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system2, we generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone. The results indicate that group 2b viruses encoding the SHC014 spike in a wild-type backbone can efficiently use multiple orthologs of the SARS receptor human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells and achieve in vitro titers equivalent to epidemic strains of SARS-CoV. Additionally, in vivo experiments demonstrate replication of the chimeric virus in mouse lung with notable pathogenesis. Evaluation of available SARS-based immune-therapeutic and prophylactic modalities revealed poor efficacy; both monoclonal antibody and vaccine approaches failed to neutralize and protect from infection with CoVs using the novel spike protein. On the basis of these findings, we synthetically re-derived an infectious full-length SHC014 recombinant virus and demonstrate robust viral replication both in vitro and in vivo. Our work suggests a potential risk of SARS-CoV re-emergence from viruses currently circulating in bat populations.

The description of their Chimera, from attachment at the ACEII receptor to the effects on airway cells, to the resistance to known antiviral medications at the time all fit the SARS-CoV-2 profile.  It may have been further refined in Wuhan, where the research was moved after it was stopped in the US in 2014, along with two of the researchers who were on the original team in NC: Xing-Yi Ge and Zhengli-Li Shi, both from the Key Laboratory of Special Pathogens and Biosafety, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China.

Because the abstract led to considerable speculation that the virus was, indeed, a product of gain of function research, and not a naturally occurring mashup of viruses in nature, the abstract was subsequently reworded.

It isn't really hard to connect those dots.
