It’s crazy how none of our media reports on any numbers except Canada, USA and Europe.
We report South Africa has a new variant, but they don’t talk about Africa as a whole only having approx 10% of the entire population with at least 1 dose of the vaccine because they didn’t have the funds to get it before the rich countries of the world, nor do they mention Africa as a whole having lower numbers for Covid death rates in comparison to countries that have the medical standards we have.
Pick any “underprivileged” nation in the world and compare their numbers to ours, countries that can’t even provide adequate living standards or medical to their people on a good day but their numbers in regards to vaccines administered and Covid related deaths seem to pale in comparison to countries with money that raced to get the vaccines into their people.
Granted we can assume countries like Burundi (for example) don’t have the most diligent reporting systems. But, according to the WHO, Burundi is reporting numbers and their numbers say population of 12.4 million, they’ve administered only 1,438 doses of the vaccine, recorded 20,386 cases of Covid and only 14 deaths to date.
I encourage anyone to take a look at the numbers from any “reputable” source they prefer and compare the numbers with those “have not” nations too.
