A couple of salient points seriously missed here: Sweden did not do the lockdowns and mandates and has fared well. But even more significant are the African nations which had virtually no deaths and no vaccines! What they did have was years of experience and access to hydroxychloroquin and ivermectin which they continue to use for malaria and other tropical diseases. Horrors that the white supremacist north would learn from people of color on poorer nations!!!!

Not true.

I am a regular visitor to Ghana, and I never met a single person who was taking either of these drugs.

Rather, they enjoy a healthy outdoor lifestyle , eat a healthy diet, and are incredibly young by compariso with us.

While a healthy lifestyle contributes to good health, what you say does not contradict my comment. I did not say that everyone was on these drugs daily which seems implied in your comment. And Ghana is only one country in a huge continent of many countries. The drugs mentioned are regularly used throughout Africa for other illnesses, like malaria as noted.

Most africans can neither afford, nor need them. The idea that so many africans are taking them routinely to make any difference in Covid rates is quite preposterous. Evidence, please!

Do not put words in my mouth. Actually there was a report on world cases and Uganda had the lowest incidence of Covid in the world. I read too many things to remember off the top exactly where I read but you can research the information yourself.

So, you read somewhere that lots of Ugandans were taking them..?

Can you cite chapter and verse, please?

I mean, to make a noticeable difference, there would need to be at least 50% of elderly Ugandans taking these drugs on a daily basis... that is unrealistic.

Yes, very possibly. But also a far younger age profile.
