COVID-19 in Africa and developed nations: Examining differences in vaccination and mortality

The coronavirus


There are many people worldwide, especially in developed countries, protesting against the mandatory coronavirus vaccination for different reasons. 


Many think the virus doesn’t even exist, while others think the vaccines are either responsible for the spread of the virus or killing people.


In such arguments, I am not a scientist to confirm the truth or lies about the coronavirus vaccines; however, what I know is that behind every pandemic, there are always lies and deceptions.


In the eighties, when HIV/AIDS hit the world, especially in Africa, the WHO and CDC told the world that monkeys brought from the Philippines to the United States were responsible.


It turned out later that the virus was a biological weapon to reduce the population, hitting Africa and African-Americans simultaneously.


Also, when Ebola occurred, the same World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control told the world that bats are responsible for the spread and even blamed African delicacies, such as bushmeat.


Scientists have proved today that Ebola, known as haemorrhagic fever, has nothing to do with bats or bushmeat but is also a biological weapon.


Now the coronavirus has decimated the world and governments want people to vaccinate against this virus but because of the previous medical lies associated with HIV-Aids and Ebola, many are not interested in vaccinations.


We mustn't also forget that under the nose of the World Health Organization, over 500,000 girls were made infertile due to a tetanus vaccine that turned out to be an infertility vaccine in Uganda. This is the reason the pharma company involved had its licence suspended.


Africa is the only continent among the other continents that has few vaccinations, yet the COVID death rate is very low, while many deaths have been registered in developed countries. The disturbing factor is that people who have been fully vaccinated are also among the dead.


So, the people are now asking why Africa, with less vaccination, has experienced fewer death rates and why Europe and America, which have fully vaccinated their citizens, are dying in large numbers. This is a good answer but hard to explain since I am not a scientist.


It is because of this experience many are convinced that it is the vaccines that are causing the deaths but not COVID-19. 


Whether this is true or not, God only knows. I have taken the three vaccinations to make travelling easy for me, but I am being forced to use a mouth mask. Does this make sense?


What is going on in the world today is something we can’t do anything about because we now live in a terrible world in the hands of ruthless leaders some believe are not normal human beings.

Understanding Belgium's High COVID-19 Death Toll During the Pandemic

Belgium, like other European countries, observed the lockdown rules, keeping everyone at home. The police were on duty, making sure there aren't any public gatherings, to avoid the spread of the disease, yet Belgium has registered 49,517 cases, while the disease has already claimed  7,765 lives. Why little Belgium?


Living in a country with a population of fewer than 12 million people, with one of the best medical facilities, great doctors and health personnel, in the world, I consider 7,765 deaths to be relatively high in such a small country known for it best beer, waffles and chocolate productions.


What went wrong? This is something hard to explain, however, recently, the press and Belgian citizens heavily attacked the government led by Sophie Wilmes, accusing her of inefficiency. 

According to the country's health authorities, the data in question rather than the inadequacy of the responses put in place would be conditioned by the "maximum transparency" with which the data were communicated since the beginning of the epidemic.



In recent days, numerous articles and reports have relayed the fact that Belgium would be one of the countries most affected by the pandemic. The figures for the number of reported deaths in such a small country is frightening, indeed.

Another important factor is that those tested positive for coronavirus are slightly more in Flanders in proportion than the 
Wallonia. According to virologist Jean Ruelle at Le Moustique; the territory of Belgium is small but very populated. 

"If we look at the distribution of infected people by municipality, we can see very clearly that there is a relationship with the population density. Density is an important factor of propagation," he stressed.

Businesses and schools still remain shut, despite the Easter school holiday came to an end on 19 April. The government has given assurance that businesses and schools will soon open but whether it will be possible or not, depends on current and future situations.
