Loading ...OUT OF AFRICA
1 billion people live in central Africa and less than 5% have been fully vaccinated. Somehow, there have been fewer than 43K covid deaths reported in this region, total, since the beginning of the pandemic.
Has any modeler, PH official, or epidemiologist explained this?
This region has a much younger average age of course but if Nothing Else this data strongly argues for NO vaccinating Young people . Period .
Maybe because African people are accustomed to take hydroxychloroquine to prevent malaria ?
AND … there’s nowhere on the planet where testing for covid can either be done properly if at all (like Africa), or done honestly (like most of the developed world).
The right numbers to look at, are YOY percentage changes in mortality (ie, excess mortality), grouped by vax rates (any >0)
