Why is it only south Africa in Africa, because they took the modified poisons?

They have succeeded in creating the narrative and drama they require to convince other countries especially in Africa to join, when everybody is on board, they could unleash the real poison.

Population Control at its best.

Only God knows the type of variant we have in Nigeria, South Africa with her better research facilities can easily sequence the viral nucleic acid molecule and know but Naija grin grin grin grin nothing nothing just dey do Positive and Negative PCR test .
There is virtually no covid in Nigeria

that's why I never went for the vaccine when it was made available in the company I work. For crying out loud covid19 infection is the least of our worry,why are they pushing us into injecting a hurriedly prepared vaccine?

Do you think all 200+ million people of Nigeria are taking precautions than the 54mil of SA? I certainly think there's more to it than just taking precautions. I do see videos of how overcrowded Nigeria is and in those conditions this virus ought to thrive.

China is over a billion and they contained it properly. It’s not about population bt level of exposure against measures taken. U need to go on full lockdown and get some Nigerian health experts from our ncdc to guide u.

They hoarded vaccines despite warnings that if they didn't share covid mutations will appear all over the developing world. And now it's happening and they're banning us. True devils. South Africa should reevaluate it's trading relations sigh the UK for this second consecutive ban.
But your people are also careless in handling this pandemic. They need drastic measures.

SA is good at tracking covid mutations (sequencing) and is transparent with the results. Unfortunately, the world is punishing the country for it and it's crippling the economy.

I seriously don't know why the country has been the most affected in Africa, but 19 million tests have been conducted so that could be the reason.

Total number of cases is now 2.95 million and they are on the rise again, having recorded 2400+ on Thursday - believed to be evidence the country is headed towards the 4th wave. The highest daily record was in July at over 24,000 cases.

Total deaths close to 90,000.
Its all about both humidity and temperature.
This seem to favour the transmission of the virus.

Scientists know the solution but they want to reap profit from their investment in vaccine research.
The solution is simple, boost the immune system of the populace against viral infections for a few months and covid will be a thing of the past

You are 100% correct.. South African is extremely honest and transparent in these COVID war.. more than any other countries in African ... It's unfortunate that the record they were making public comes back to bite the country and it's citizens in the A$$.
Countries who are signatory to global treaties including the WHO are ethically bound to immediately report these things. Remember how much criticism China came under for not fully reporting the emergence of covid. So a country can come into a lot of scrutiny for not being transparent.

It is not about testing or tracking variants bt by preventing the spread. Why are u guy having so many cases?? U are obviously not doing anything to prevent the spread now u having a variant.

South Africa should go on full lockdown for a month. U are creating problems for the whole world.
SA had one of the world's strictest lockdowns, banned selling of alcohol and cigarettes, put soldiers on the streets and has one of the highest vaccination rates in Africa at 24%. Contrast that with Nigeria that has only vaccinated 1.7% of the population.

So I really don't know what you're talking about.

But those one or two vaccines as you put it were not injected into our bodies as experimental vaccines which the covid 19 vaccine is and was developed within the pace of one year as against the standard scientific process for vaccines development.

From my perspective, covid 19 vaccine tends to make those who have taken it twice more susceptible to convid19 infection and re-infection.
Do you have any peer reviewed publications to support your claims? Any systematic review evidence or observational studies? Or, let's accept even the lowest scientific evidence ie expert opinion?

Or is this something you heard from your friends at the palm wine tappers general meeting?

And how much scrutiny did China get under for not reporting the discovery of covid? The whole world was on their neck. A much smaller country like SA can't stand that much scrutiny.

So?

Which vaccine ever claimed to be 100% effective?

From the very beginning, it was established that the vaccine will prevent severe disease especially among those vulnerable.
No scientist ever said that once you're vaccinated, you'll never get covid. God knows where you read that from.
Re: UK To Ban Travel From 6 Nations As South Africa Detects New COVID Variant by TMKsouth: 12:37pm On Nov 26, 2021

Let's chew on this. SA has a population of 58 million...... the UK 68 million. SA highest daily infection figure was 24 000 in July. UK hit 47 000 on Thursday .... despite 80% of over 12 years old received two doses ..... and 29% of these received three doses. With this stats.... why isn't the UK the one that has a strain that is resistant to the vaccine?

Last year ... of alll the strains ... the Delta strain in hot poor India was singled out and hyped to be the deadly one. People start dropping dead in India as evidence of the claim. To date... that strain has not mutated. Now we turn to SA.... are we going to see people there dropping dead as evidence? ... and the strain infecting people worldwide? ... people being tested positive for the strain? ... like they did for Delta?... never mind the testing does not determine strain. How many booster shots in just one year?... and yet not effective? It is time to introduce a new "highly contagious and deadly strain" to justify and mandate a new round of "vaccines" to everyone.

On January 17, 1961.... in his farewell speech... US President Dwight Eisenhower warned about the Military Industrial Complex .... the government aligning with basically military contractors...... monies for building schools... hospitals... infrastructure would be diverted to the military and democracy will be undermined. Today.... his fears have come to pass ... not with the military... but with the Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex.
It would indeed be a shame if SA is playing along with the pharmaceutical industrial complex but I doubt it considering how were put at the back of the queue for vaccine preorders.

We should consider the impact of TB and HIV with the mutations appearing in SA. That's why our lockdowns were so strict because we have an extremely vulnerable population.

We are talking about the Covid 19 vaccine here which was hurriedly developed within the pace of 1 year as against the standard scientific process that takes several years to come up with an effective vaccine.

It was never established by any scientist that the covid 19 will prevent severe diseases...
The covid 19 vaccine is way abysmally less effective in preventing covid 19 and tends to acerbate underlying illness and instigate irreversible health issues! Young and older people who were rather healthy are developing heart related issues, some having heart attacks, some developing stroke and paralysis ...more so, it has been said by doctors that younger people who took the vaccine are more subject or susceptible to heart related issues in the future and you tell me the vaccine is handsomely safe? undecided

No vaccine is 100% we all agree but this thing is not really a vaccine. I believe they went with calling it a vaccine as that is what most are comfortable and relate with. The thing doesnt contain the covid pathogen that should stimulate your natural defense mechanism matter of fact its bypassing it and acting to reduce its severity. which i thought was bad before the advent of these "vaccine",the so called asymtomatic individuals where derided way back then but now that the vaccine basically makes you asymptomatic its ok. so you can carry the virus and spread as vaccinated and it ok. but its not ok anyway, thats why they are still asking you to mask up and social distance after taking the "vaccine". Why is natural immunity under attacked and never get a sniff?
This thing is not vaccine but gene editing therapy

BRATISLAVA:
You're right about the testing. Higher tests will prove a higher incidence, compared to a country like Nigeria that doesn't really do much testing and vaccinating.

I don't know why the UK is always on about the South African variant. It seems unwarranted, because there are other variants and so many countries crippled by it. Perhaps there's something political about it.

It's interesting to note from the statistics you've shown, that covid isn't that deadly. Thankfully. With the HIV/AIDS prevalence, one would've expected more casualties. But this has been more good news out of Africa. Dark continent winning this one.
Yeah, 96% recovery rate cool

Vaccination rate stands at 24% despite dumping AstraZeneca and having long delays waiting for J&J and Pfizer. Now there's an oversupply of vaccines in SA - we asked pharmaceuticals to halt exporting for a while.

Noticed Nigeria only sitting on 1,7% vaccination rate. If this new SA variant indeed is the most transmissible and worst yet much of Africa will be in big trouble with these dismal vaccination rates.

So, you don't believe what scientists say, but you believe what MC Asuzu writes for an opinion blog! I bet MC Asuzu has never seen the inside of a laboratory, let alone the structure of the covid virus. grin

Just because you don't understand mRNA technology doesn't mean you can equate it to the nearest thing you know, in your case being gene editing. Your claims are made up and fall flatly in the face of facts.

Do you know how many years mRNA technology has been used to try to find a cure for HIV? The technology was already perfected in HIV research, but didn't work for HIV, however it incidentally worked for coronavirus.
But people who don't understand how research works just resort to conspiracies

This is a big lie.

Covid has already run its course in Nigeria and we have achieved herd "natural" immunity but nobody want to do the study. We will continuously be experiencing mild form of covid here. the question is how did we achieve this with virtually no "vaccination"

Here is a UK publication

DeMekus:
Nobody hoarded vaccines from you. Rather, it was your government that delayed their delivery. As a result, only a fraction of the population was covered from the little they got from Germany. Then next thing they started telling us that South Africa is capable of producing vaccines locally, and here we are.
SA had to abandon using AstraZeneca with the discovery of the Beta variant in the country - that's why we donated them to the AU.

Then we had to start ordering afresh J&J and Pfizer but stood at the back of the queue while the West had preordered 3 to 6 times the amount of supply they even needed..

SA never depended on donations from Germany, don't know what you're talking about - there's always been money to buy our own vaccines and now there's even an oversupply.
