Don't forget that ivermectin & HCQ are easily available and not discouraged in Africa.

I work in Uganda and the whole covid thing has been an unmitigated disaster because of the govt not the virus. I work in the poorest of the poor areas and know 1 person who has had covid. On the other hand, I work with teens who are pregnant and teen pregnancy has skyrocketed over the last 2 years, as have forced marriages of young girls. After schools being closed for 22 months, the govt tried to mandate all teachers be vaxed before going back. The problems were multiple - they didn't have the vaccines in quantity, the teachers said they'd quit (and many already had because they weren't getting paid during that 22 mos), and no one wanted it anyway. Due to pressure, they finally went back a couple of weeks ago, most teachers are not vaxed, and schools are absolutely crammed with kids -- except the ones who've had babies, been forced to get married at 12, aged out, or have even less money now than before for fees. But covid? No one's the least bit worried nor have they been.

We've just witnessed a large swath of the population come to the slow realization that the emperor truly has no clothes. Our "elites" are idiots, who could not think critically if their lives depended on it. How we've allowed such a rotten bunch of worthless morons to accumulate so much power is going to be studied for centuries. Saying a prayer for the "poor" people of Africa.

In March 2020, the British epidemiologist Neil Ferguson and Imperial College London said Covid would hit poor countries much harder than rich ones, because their health-care systems would likely be overwhelmed. Ferguson predicted poor countries might face up to 40 million deaths by the end of 2020.

^^^^^^

This guy Ferguson should be in stocks and I don't mean the ones that pay dividends.

Nature abhors a vacuum. And Big Pharma abhors a control group.

I broke into open laughter at the part about imposing social distancing in third-world countries. Yeah, that would quite literally be like herding cats. Almost as silly as the announcement that was played encouraging social distancing at a fully-packed sporting event that I recently attended.

Neil Ferguson/ Imperial college in 2005 Aviah flu - 200,000,000 could die globally!!!!! (282 total actually did)

Neil Ferguson/ Imperial college in 200p Swine flu - 65,0000 in the UK alone could die!!!!! (487 total actually did).

This is only a small sample of this group’s hysterical overreactions. It’s been going on for decades. A totter throwing food at a dart board is more accurate.

Alex, you will be enlightened to know - that in my hospital - at the height of the Delta wave - my hospital was putting Covid patients on every ward, transporting them all over the hospital without proper isolation and not providing N95 masks to the nursing and physician staff. Meanwhile while clear evidence existed that the disease was airborne in transmission - they denied it. Its hard to believe we could be this bad.

What drug does a large part of the African population take? Ya, that's right, the drug used to combat malaria..... Ivermectin!! My family took it when they went to Africa but NO WAY would the very same doctor give it to my brother in law when he contacted covid and almost died. Our medical system is TRASH!!!

Alex, I frequent the West Indies where Hydroxychloroquine is commonly used to fight Malaria. The death rate in the West Indies is very low. The mRNA jab should be outlawed, destroyed and In my view if Trump doesn't renounce the jab we must reject him. Thus far I know four people who passed away after taking the jab including ages 13, 21, 43 and recently a 33-year old nurse who took the jab to keep her job.

Maybe at some point we will all realize sending all the old vulnerable sick people to the same concrete building is a bad idea. I realized it in March 2020.

Speaking of positive news, a new "Monmouth University poll" shows that 70% of Americans agree with the statement: "It’s time we accept that Covid is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives". People are starting to wake up... https://www.mediaite.com/news/covid-fatigue-70-of-americans-say-we-just-need-to-get-on-with-our-lives-according-to-new-poll/

"...fewer deaths than from traffic accidents in Africa every year."

I hope Pfizer is working on a traffic accident vaccine.

Sadly this hasn't been about data and facts for a while. Now it's all narrative, all the time. And the only way to break the narrative is to stand up against it.

Because the truth of the matter is this — no one else is coming to save you. People in free (mostly red) states are already over covid and have been for a while now. Their kids are going to school without masks, the bars are open, and the football stadiums are packed. Those places are doing just as well as places that are ‘locked up’ tight. And here’s a tip: people in those places aren’t going to protest for your freedom, especially after the ‘experts’ (and Twitter) have been calling them names for at least the last couple years.

Besides Bill Gates has done so much damage in those countries they no longer trust the so called health officials. There is a total media blackout of india. There are two big cities there that went door to door handing out medications such as Ivermectin to all house holds. They literally eradicated covid from their cities. Dr. Pierre Cory did an interview on American thought leaders on epoch times explaining just how they did it. It is a true testament of what early treatment can accomplish. It knocks their narrative on its proverbial arse.
