Africa Virtually Escapes Covid-19! Wonder Why?

[boxcar]

Dr. Simone Gold has a simple explanation for Africa’s mild coronavirus toll

Hydroxychloroquine is an anti-malaria drug that is so commonly used in Africa, it’s more difficult to find those who have never taken than those who have. Malaria is a major issue in Africa, so the drug is sold over-the-counter and is available to almost anyone because of its low cost. It also happens to be touted as a proper treatment or even a cure for COVID-19 by many respected doctors and scientists, but it fell out of favor among many because of who promoted it. Politics came into play because President Trump said he believed it worked and even took it himself as a preventative measure.

I was discussing this very issue several weeks ago with one of the elders in my church who is from a small country in West Africa. He was of the same opinion as this doctor. And in his country of origin, he knew that covid was all but non-existent from family members still living there!

it fell out of favor because it is too cheap, the people selling it could not make big enough bucks.

Fauci would not approve Bacitracin for HIV use and thousands died from Kaposi's sarcoma that did not need to.

It also "fell out of favor" because the left wants to prolong this phony crisis at least until the election is over. And when Trump wins, they will want to extend it until they succeed in a coup or until 2024, whichever comes first.

Bingo!!

This may also have something to do with it. Many countries give the anti-tuberculosis drug BCG to their children. Here is a summary about it.

This may be a big reason the U.S. has a COVID fatality rate in the 550 per million range.

As they say, there’s no cure for stupid. Reporting on the Coronavirus in Africa is very spotty and in some cases nonexistent. There are countries in Africa that stopped reporting on the pandemic back in March.
Actual scientific, peer reviewed research has shown that Hydroxy.... is minimally effective with life threatening side effects.
But don’t let me stop you.

Life threatening side effects...LMAO

GTFOOH you goof.

Show me the PEER REVIEWED papers written over the past SIXTY FIVE YEARS of this drug's existence, that show how LIFE THREATENING this drug is...PLEASE...DO IT NOW.

YOU CAN'T

Here is the drug info from lupus.org, a site that knows plenty about this drug:

Side effects
In some people, HCQ may cause gastrointestinal problems, such as nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, cramps, or diarrhea. These may occur for the first few days a person takes the drug while the body adjusts to the medication. Loss of appetite, tiredness, weakness, or headache are uncommon side effects and typically go away over time.

Rare complications
The greatest concern people have when taking hydroxychloroquine is related to vision. Individuals beginning HCQ therapy should be informed of the possibility, although extremely rare, of retinal toxicity, and told that periodic monitoring can lead to early recognition of some symptoms. Hydroxychloroquine is the most commonly used AM, specifically because it has a lower risk for retinal toxicity than chloroquine. This may be because CQ crosses the blood-retinal barrier and HCQ does not. (There is no retinal damage associated with the use of quinacrine.)

Nowhere does it mention LIFE THREATENING COMPLICATIONS.

In fact, they say THE GREATEST CONCERN is related to vision. And that is under RARE complications.

And people taking it for lupus take it for a LONG TIME...so if there were any LIFE THREATENING complications to be worried about, it would be listed on that website.

GOOF

You might as well preach to a tree. There's no cure for Mosty's brand of Kool-Aid-induced Stupid.

There are more serious side effects taking aspirin than hydroxychloroquine.

Why do I get the feeling if the President had said doctors are saying aspirin can lessen the severity of a heart attack that:

CNN and the NYT would be running a series of stories 24/7/365 about those poor unfortunate souls who suffered a fatal heart attack despite taking aspirin per doctor's recommendation.

Nancy Pelosi would be sponsoring a bill in the House to make aspirin a controlled substance. If so, would surveillance video of her buying aspirin at a corner drugstore in SF surface? And would she claim it was a setup?

Google would be scrubbing search results for peer reviewed clinical studies about aspirin.

Google, Facebook, and Twitter would be taking down videos by actual doctors talking about aspirin and heart attacks for 'misinformation.'

And angry mobs would be looting and burning drug stores for the crime of stocking hurtful bottles of aspirin on their shelves.

Given recent events these past several months, why doesn't any of that sound far fetched to me?

Replace the word Hydroxycloroquine with Aspirin and we're right there.

This GOOF knows what he is talking about. HYQ used to treat malaria is given in measured doses for a limited period of time. If I recall, you get 400 mg one week before travel to a Malaria area. Then one 400 mg dose on the same day of the week for every week you’re in that country.
For COVID-19 they were administering 800 Mg two or three times a week. A drug which is perfectly safe at one dosage can be fatal at another.

And the biased liberal establishment isn't interested whatsoever in trying to discover what dose, IF ANY, might be most effective.

800mg

GOOF

Who the F said to administer 800mg? What study concluded that would be the MOST EFFECTIVE dosage over time?

GOOF

Who came up with the 800mg plan? A mailman from Illinois?

My SIL is the Military Attaché at the embassy in a Southern African country, they definitely have Covid-19 going on. People don't generally live long enough to hit the high danger zone.
