Fewer than 6% of people in Africa are vaccinated.

[chowda]

and nothing is happening, unlike the highly jabbed first world countries that are going into their fourth lockdowns.

Must be the horse dewormer...

Why do anti-vaxxers and COVID deniers on this forum keep posting irrelevant information like they are a child who is trying to keep an argument that they lost alive?

[CYERCaptainPooping]

This post was way more relevant than posting an anecdotal story of one individual who chooses not to get vaccinated and dies with Covid. We get daily posts on those stories

Oh my goodness, one person died on a planet with 8 billion people. On this planet, someone dies every second.

[‘Bob’]

Hahahahahahahaha!!!

So we should be like Africa? What an aspiration!

Take a look at the 50 countries with the lowest life expectancies in the world. The very few outside of Africa include Fiji, Pakistan, Myanmar, Yemen, Marshall Islands, Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea, Comoros… and Haiti—which itself is in 28th place with 27 African nations below it.

I read the article……

“On Friday, researchers working in Uganda said they found COVID-19 patients with high rates of exposure to malaria were less likely to suffer severe disease or death than people with little history of the disease.“

Hey,

I have a great idea. Satisfy the anti-vaxxers desire to avoid the dangerous vaccine and inject them with malaria and the they will be immune and not fill up the hospitals and we can open up fully.

I see that virologist expert chowda didn't reply to my answer about Africa there: viewtopic.php?p=1172723#p1172723
So I'll do a repeat with an update.

why is the continent of Africa, with low vaxx and low resources in treating covid almost completely missing out on all of this, when heavy vaccinated areas are having large upswing in cases(Gibralter, Iceland, Italy, etc)?

You are comparing apple with orange.

How about this in Africa:
-Bad reporting system?
-Absence of road networks, the disease has not spread to rural areas?
-Little local transmission as most activities in rural areas occur outdoors? (55% lives in rural areas)
-The elderly tend to move to the rural areas once they retire?
-The elderly aren't put together in retirement homes? (No super-spreading events in care homes)
-Much younger population in general? (3% of the African population is over 65)
-Not much diabetes, hypertension, obesity?
-Weak mortality registration system except in a very few countries?
-Genetic predisposition to fight it?
-Trained Immunity?
-etc...?

All in all:
https://reliefweb.int/report/world/six- ... ted-africa

Six in seven COVID-19 infections go undetected in Africa

Interestingly:
https://www.science.org/content/article ... xplain-why

After testing more than 3000 blood donors, Uyoga and colleagues estimated in a preprint last month that one in 20 Kenyans aged 15 to 64—or 1.6 million people—has antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, an indication of past infection. That would put Kenya on a par with Spain in mid-May when that country was descending from its coronavirus peak and had 27,000 official COVID-19 deaths.

Also, because of all these particularities I listed above:

If tens of millions of Africans have already been infected, that raises the question of whether the continent should try for "herd immunity" without a vaccine, Boum says—the controversial idea of letting the virus run its course to allow the population to become immune, perhaps while shielding the most vulnerable. That might be preferable over control measures that cripple economies and could harm public health more in the long run. "Maybe Africa can afford it"

Here is my update:
They might revise this last quote above in regard of what's going on in South Africa. Talking about this new Covid variant called for the time being B.1.1.529 I'm just hoping the thing didn't mutated itself to by-pass this African semblance of immunity.

If that's the case (Not saying it is) The Occident is going to cry...

[CYERCaptainPooping]

Guess who’s back!

https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/u-s-stocks- ... -1.1687240

Rona! And it’s a new variant!!!

Markets selling off! Interest rate cuts ahead, home prices to increase 20 percent next year and a new CERB program to be announced! Quadruple masks and vaccine super duper booster also to be announced! AC stock is down 8 percent, looks like more layoffs ahead in the airline industry.

We are in this together!

[Inverted2]

2 weeks to flatten the curve.

[CYERCaptainPooping]

Who do we blame now?

Well let’s see, this originated in Africa… so is anyone up for blaming bill gates? He blocked attempts to make the vaccines generic so we could put profits ahead of public health. And we can also blame Canada who has let over a million vaccine doses expire as we hoard them. And also everyone who’s taking the third booster shot against the beliefs of the WHO experts who said countless times we need to have a global effort to vaccinate the countries who can’t afford it.

This is the pandemic of the hoarding nations and triple boosters! Had we shared the vaccines, this would all be over!

Look who is calling for travel restrictions.

Erin O'Toole, Doug Ford, and Jason Kenney.

Hope all the Conservative voters are happy with the representation they're getting.

Funny how these conservatives are not necessarily interested in doing what is right, they are mostly interested in just being different…

Then a month after Trudeau puts some restrictions, they will blame Trudeau. The old back and forth blame game. “The restrictions were to severe” or “the restrictions were not severe enough” blah blah blah.

I dislike all politicians equally.

Anyways, hope this blows by faster than the first variants. Stay healthy everyone.

100%. A couple days ago the Federal Conservatives were holding out for more money for the travel and tourism industry. Now they're calling for restrictions.

They'll do anything to score cheap political points.

Oh I don't know, probably because all Western countries are being flooded with unvaxxed migrant Africans. No restrictions for them, eh? Magically not superspreaders.

[TG]

About this Omicron thingy variante, They seems to imply it spread easier than the previous ones and that it is not as dangerous. Although most cases picked up where from young people who are typically stronger, so they might change their tune again in two weeks or so.

To put it simply, viruses that spread easier and easier are usually getting weaker and weaker. That is more or less how the Spanish flue went into oblivion. It's not always the case, but kind of a rule of Thumb.

Back to Africa.
There is definitely vaccination shortfalls there and there is South Africa. Deferring vaccin deliveries as the locals didn’t want it! And Malawi who burned vaccines due to low take up! A lots of vaccination misinformation is circulating and it doesn't help.


In Barbados (I know it's not in Africa) Anti-vax there are claiming it's the vaccine from the white to kill the black
Can't really blame their lack of trust from the Occident though...

Yes, from your source directly:

Many people wrongly think that discrimination does not exist if the impact was not intended, or if there were other factors that could explain a particular situation. In fact, discrimination often takes place without any intent to do harm. And in most cases, there are overlaps between discrimination and other legitimate factors.

Thanks for the brochure, Komrade Bolshevik. NGOs flood us (the West) with unvaxxed people from Africa (and Haiti, Central America) who receive preferential entry conditions and state benefits while original citizens are perceived as some kind of enemy. Foreigners receiving preferential conditions is an indisputable fact--Psaki said it herself. Actually, it's global-scale human trafficking-By your sympathies, it appears that you support this trafficking, toddlers abandoned at the borders and all.
The brochure--It's simply projection. The government and its useful innocents such as yourself apply unequal treatment between foreigners and citizens. During covid, the right of mobility has not applied to Canadians, but only to chosen foreigners. I didn't ask for any of it. I would have preferred to not let them in as a different tier of human as the current government has been doing.
Your brochure will make good tinder for the gulag firewood.

This isn't the first time you've had a lot to say about Africa.

I'm going to dig into one of your posts you made a while ago, ReserveTank:

Canada was a very good country, considered one of the best along with the likes of Germany, Britain, and Switzerland (see a pattern?).

And then you went on to say:

Canadians went from screaming about genital mutilation in Africa to passively accepting that Canadian boys should be snipped and made into eunuchs. Everyone with a shithole passport comes over to loot Canadian tax dollars. While Canadian birth rates sink year after year, they welcome (and fully pay for) foreign families to immigrate with quad-strollers full of kids.

All while criticizing the reading comprehension abilities of those who come from inner city schools.

Sounds like you care a lot about the "Canadian" birth rate.

You also seem really fixated on people coming over from "shithole" countries.

Why are legal immigrants a problem?

What do you think we should be doing about the "Canadian" birth rate?

[trey kule]

Anti-vaxxers. Covid deniers.

Where did these terms originate to be used in a condescending and derogatory way for anyone who dares to challenge the official government department of marginalization efforts.

They are an easy end to stop critical thinking, or letting others speak out.

I agree that the heart rending stories of those who denied and died we are subject to every day seem a bit like an effort to manipulate us to be fearful.

Another more severe lockdown is on its way. Hopefully the full firearms ban will take effect first so when we all finally wake up there will be no violence.

The only thing George Orwell got wrong was the date.

First thing's first--I've mastered in language and rhetoric (as well as aeronautical science). I did that without donning pajamas to uni. And yes, I love to take a crack at inner city schools. They're atrocious places where kids learn consumption of processed food and rap music. That's why no one knows how to write anymore.

Why are legal immigrants a problem?

The immigrants themselves aren't the problem. I can't begrudge someone because they were promised a better life at someone else's expense. My problem is primarily with the NGOs that work with the government to force these people upon us, with preferential conditions. In this case, thousands come across the North American borders everyday, and they are exempt from covid restrictions. You guys aren't calling to shut that down. No, what do you do? You say that your neighbour should be restricted from society. You mock freedom like this, "muh freedumbs," all the while freeing people into your country that would never reciprocate your foolish kindness.
There is another column to this, in question form--Why do we need all of this immigration? The West cannot save the third world. We cannot throw enough rice, condoms, or Soviet-made weapons at them to ever solve their problems. We've been doing it for decades. We cannot possibly house them all--in our house. So think about it. Think about WHY it's so urgent for unvaxxed, untested foreigners to come here right now.
Another thought for the topic--If our hospitals are truly overloaded with the unvaxxed, do you really want unvaxxed foreigners (that never paid a dime into our system) filling it up?

Sounds like you care a lot about the "Canadian" birth rate.

I'll expand that to the Western rate, which is in decline--Well below replacement. Those quad-strollers of foreigners are not going to pay for your retirement, contrary to what Mama Merkel said.

What do you think we should be doing about the "Canadian" birth rate?

Reproducing. Did you miss "the talk" at age 12?
The most interesting part of this is that Canadians (Westerners) willfully engage in hedonistic, anti-reproductive activity but somehow don't mind feeding Yusuf Ali Benghabba's 5 children (and their children, and so on).
I can't say this is originally the fault of Canadian citizens. There has been much propaganda in the mainstream which convinced you to make these choices. However, refusing to acknowledge history and basic biology is fatal.

When those quad-strollers become teenagers, I wonder how they're going to handle a supply chain food shortage. Did you even consider it? I'll be thinking of your generosity at that point.

[Bingo Fuel]

Oh man. There's a lot to dig into there, but I'm going to focus only on this point:

So think about it. Think about WHY it's so urgent for unvaxxed, untested foreigners to come here right now.

I haven't heard anything about this happening. Can you provide a source?
