The assumption that covid would be an equal threat in Africa as it may have been elsewhere was wrong.
An accounting must be made of the mistakes so that such an inept response driven by wealthy nations and foisted onto Africa never takes place again.
The first mistake was lockdowns, writes Toby Green, a British professor of West African history and global inequality. Lockdowns had already been trialled in Freetown, Sierra Leone, and Monrovia, Liberia, during the Ebola epidemic. Esteemed groups such as Doctors Without Borders had counselled against lockdowns and subsequent academic research deemed them to have been ineffective.

Although the following article refers to covid “mistakes” we know that mistakes were not made. The Great Democide of 2020 was not a mistake.
The other point to highlight is that the author of the article appears to be calling for a single covid inquiry for the entire African continent. Africa comprises 54 countries; each having its own government, laws, languages, religions and cultures. To indicate the diversity of populations – over 1,000 official languages are spoken across the African continent.
Africa is the second-largest continent and has the world’s second-largest population after Asia. Just as for each Asian country, the governments are accountable to its citizens. Just as in Asia, each country must hold its own covid inquiry.

Africa Needs an Inquiry into Covid-19 Mistakes
The following was authored by Professor Toby Green and was published by TRT Afrika on 29 January 2024.
It has been four years since the WHO declared covid-19 as an epidemic outbreak of international concern.
The end of January also marks four years since the African continent first began taking measures against the novel coronavirus: Rwanda closed its borders to flights from China on 31 January 2020.
In the initial panic over the new virus, many commentators pointed to the experience of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone with Ebola in 2014-15 as a good indicator of how to manage a serious epidemic outbreak.
However, as time has gone on, it has become all too clear that the international global health industry drew the wrong lessons from that experience. In fact, the covid-19 pandemic response was a disaster in Africa.
As a covid inquiry gathers pace in the UK, something like this is urgent in Africa. An accounting must be made of the mistakes so that such an inept response driven by wealthy nations and foisted onto Africa never takes place again.
Some commentators point to the extremely low death rates of covid-19 in Africa as an indication of Africa’s success in handling the pandemic. However, this is to look at things the wrong way around.
Ebola Lessons
With a median age of lower than 20, Africa was always likely to have a low death rate from covid. This is not an indication of success, but instead of the catastrophe that took place when assuming that covid-19 would be an equal threat in Africa as it may have been elsewhere.
The first mistake came with lockdowns. These were pushed by the WHO, who in their report on their fact-finding mission to Wuhan on 25 February 2020 recommended that all countries with cases of covid-19 follow the Chinese model of lockdowns.
However, lockdowns had been trialled in Freetown and Monrovia during the Ebola epidemic.
Esteemed groups such as Doctors Without Borders had counselled against this move then, and subsequent academic research deemed that they had been ineffective – as impossible to maintain in environments where the informal economy is so important.
Such research must surely have been known to WHO, who nevertheless advised these measures in all cases, regardless of socioeconomic infrastructure.
A second grave mistake was in ignoring basic demographics. By the end of March, commentators were noting that Africa’s low median age meant covid might well not be too serious there.
Cramped Spaces
This research was ignored, in favour of an eradication strategy that could never have succeeded in countries where informal settlements mean disease spread of a respiratory virus is impossible to eradicate.
Thus, the third mistake came with curfews. Confining people at certain times of day in the cramped accommodation of informal settlements – in Nairobi, Lagos and Kinshasa – had no discernible epidemiological rationale.
This was a disease which spread more indoors, and by forcing people to share cramped spaces the outcome was certain to be increased virus spread. These can all be deemed scientific errors.
They stemmed from the fact that scientists with decision-making influence at WHO and other supranational organisations all lived in “wealthy nations.” Apparently, they did not understand the demographic characteristics of social life in urban settings on the African continent.
This was, in effect, a colonial policy, shaped by the financial dependence of African institutions on so-called foreign donors both in the West and in China. A full covid inquiry in Africa must however not be limited to scientific matters.
A fourth mistake came in ignoring the social determinants of public health – the social context in which science and medicine takes place.
Devastated Health Systems
Social scientists have long known that wealth and health are closely connected. In poorer countries, the relationship between GDP and life expectancy has been clear for decades, elucidated in the “Prescott curve”.
Effectively, just as increases in GDP raise life expectancy, so reductions lower it. In Africa, the closure of informal markets, transport shutdowns, and curfews, were all policies ensuring increases in poverty. They were policies which could only reduce wealth, health and life expectancy.
With the World Food Programme now saying that more than half of those experiencing acute hunger entered this condition since 2020, and the United Nations Development Programme (“UNDP”) that 50 million Africans entered extreme poverty during covid, it’s clear that the policies driven by the WHO and powerful supranational organisations in the global health industry devastated public health in Africa.
Beyond this, there are many themes that must be considered. First, there is the closure of schools and the impact on and child labour. Second, there are the impacts of movement restrictions on harvests and crop-growing cycles.
Third, there is the “shadow pandemic” of gender-based violence prompted by the measures. Fourth, there is the impact of global transport shutdowns and reorientations of priorities on supply chains of vital medicines including malaria rapid tests, which are still in short supply.
No doubt that an African covid inquiry will have its work cut out. One thing alone is clear: whoever runs it, it cannot be the WHO or any other supranational institution which cheerleads the imposition of such ruinous policies on the continent.

While the Brits are trying to set America ablaze and trying to provoke the Arab states throughout the Middle East, they are being forced to rely on American Manpower instead of Chinese. Quite obviously, the Americans are on to them now and even if they survive in the Middle East, there is no place to come home to. Not even Britian. That, above all else, is why they have been trying to clear a path to a new era of Colonialism in Africa. They’ve already lost China as their landing place. Now they’ve lost Ukraine. Russia sweet-talked and assisted all the targeted countries in Africa — having been attacked by the Euro-scum and not for the first time, they are now all allied with Russia. Read that — most of Africa is now allied with Russia.
Russia is already allied with Iran, and if possible, will be allied with Turkey soon — a Trifecta melding Russian muscle and production capability with Iranian technical and scientific excellence and local knowledge, all meshing with the ferocious and well-equipped million-man Turkish Army. This note to the U.S. Military — color your rumps gone, boys, if you are fools enough to be dragged into this one, and stop guarding your own home. President Erdogan of Turkey is suddenly the Belle of the Ball, with Vladimir Putin putting in his visit just in time for the Eastern Orthodox Church money and the F15 Fighter bribe to wear off.

Hi john,
This is a really good video well worth watching.
Col Douglas Mcgregor, is accurate when he says the US is an instrument of Israeli National Policy.
Same as the UK is.
I got over the coronavirus in a super mild form
I got sick with coronavirus in August . He was seriously ill with symptoms of coughing, sneezing, runny nose, fever and headache. I got sick in 2 days. I found out that I was sick. I would have been at a reception with the deputy heads.He looked at the doctor and said that I looked sick and sent me home. By evening, the above symptoms appeared. Evidence that I was sick with coronavirus. On the second day, when the symptoms subsided, a PCR test was performed. The result is either sick or not, on a more accurate device it is not sick. By evening, the symptoms had disappeared. On day 3, a nurse came to see a coronavirus patient, first she communicated with me in a mask and then realized that I was not sick with coronavirus, continued to communicate with me without a mask And the next day my mother fell ill with the same symptoms but also with loss of sense of smell. And a year later he underwent an in-depth medical examination. When he got sick and when he recovered, the 33 polyclinic of Almetyevsk is aware.
And now, 18 years later, a team of Swiss immunologists led by Daniel Zebarge from the University of Lausanne was able to solve this puzzle
The researchers conducted a series of experiments on laboratory mice and found that stem-like central memory T cells are formed from ordinary cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes, also known as T-killers. When faced with the same enemy again, the immune system acts much faster and more effectively. This is possible thanks to the immunological memory. Special lymphocytes remember previously encountered pathogens of infections and, upon re-infection, trigger an instant target response. 2,3,4,5 times he was ill asymptomatically. I learned that I was ill through an antibody test.
The 5 antibody tests are listed below. I have been ill with coronavirus at least 4 times asymptomatically in 3 years and I do not think with the same strain, which means I am immune to many strains, if not all. I am often asked how, with such a strong immune system, do you get infected so often? The T-cell immunity lets in a virus if the virus is unfamiliar, it simply kills it, and if the virus is familiar, memory cells kill it. In both cases, leaving the virus with no chance.
An analogue of my medicine was tested on former US President Donald Trump, it was cured in 7 days, but it turned out to be so weak that it was discontinued. The medicine was made from mouse immunity, which was later transformed into human immunity, and I already have human immunity, which means it is several times stronger.
Medicine production technology:having previously infected me with the coronavirus, I think. Then take my blood and isolate the immune cell. Then cross it with a malignant tumor cell. The most difficult of the variety of antibodies is to isolate an antibody to the coronavirus and then clone it in a special reactor. Is it possible?
Analysis for antibodies to coronavirus.
The first result
0.01BAU/ml
>7.1BAU/ml – positive
<7.1 BAU/ml – negative
I did it before the vaccination
The second result
204.00 BAU/ml
I did it 3.5 months after re-vaccination with the light satellite
The third result
234.00BAU/ml
I did it 4 months after the re-vaccination with the light satellite
The fourth result
316.0 BAU/ ml
Celal 6 months after re-vaccination with satellite light
fifth result
240.25 BAU/ml
I did it 18 months after the nasal vaccine re-vaccination
Why is my antibody titer elevated? Because I have the strongest t-cell immunity.
Proven by 4 immunograms in 3 mmunograms, cells are exceeded in abs.number/µl in the first immunogram, t-lymphocytes 2825 at a rate of 600-2500, t-helper cells 1808 at a rate of 450-850, t-cytotoxic 945 at a rate of 270-540 tx/ts
In the second immunogram, t-lymphocytes 2704, t-helper cells 1661, t-cytotoxic 850 were made on 12.09.2017 at the request of a local immunologist.
In the third immunogram, t-lymphocytes 2834, t-helper cells 1574 t cytotoxic 984, tx/tc 1.6 was made on 03/19/2018 the day after the infectious disease
In the 4th immunogram, t-cells exceeded 10*9/l ,t-lymphocytes 2.53 at a norm of o,80-2,20 t-helper cells 1.65 at a rate of 0.60-1.60 t-cytotoxic 0.81 at a rate of 0.30-0.80 was made on July 13, 2021
in 4 immunograms % t cells are normal. There are no diseases in which the rise of t cells is recorded
I did 9 blood tests according to the leukoformula lymphocytes increased neutrophils decreased count in %.In the first analysis of lymphocytes 50.6 at a rate of 19-37, neutrophils 39.5 at a rate of 48.0-78.0, made on 08/02/2019.
In the second, lymphocytes 49.4 neutrophils 40.7, taken on 06/10/2020.
In the third analysis, lymphocytes 44.8 neutrophils 0.53 were made on 05/06/2021.
In the fourth analysis, lymphocytes 45.5 neutrophils 43.4 were analyzed on 09/01/2021
In the fifth analysis of lymphocytes, 50.0 neutrophils 39.4 were analyzed on 03/01/2022
In the sixth analysis, lymphocytes 45.6 neutrophils 43.6 were analyzed on 05/12/2022
In the seventh analysis, lymphocytes 42.9 neutrophils 48.4 were analyzed on 01/17/2023
In the eighth analysis of lymphocytes 47.6 neutrophils 40.6 the analysis was made on 01/31/2023
In the ninth analysis of lymphocytes 48.1 neutrophils 41.2 the analysis was made on 03/23/2023
. I did a large number of general blood tests using the leukoformula. In all, lymphocytes are elevated and leukocytes and monocytes are normal. Even in the immunogram that I did the day after I had an infectious disease (cold) white blood cells are normal. An analysis was performed on the recommendation of the therapist
The study Result is the antinuclear factor Result <1:160, titer units, Reference values <1:160 During the medical examination, I passed a general blood test: 43 lymphocytes at a rate of 19 to 37%, 7 leukocytes at a rate of 4-9×109 Units/l. For 5 years, I did more than 50 general blood tests in all lymphocytes elevated, white blood cells are normal
I can imagine an immunologist’s consultation. Conclusion : Moderate absolute/relative lymphocytosis (by T-cell link ) with relative neutropenia. Give me a chance to defeat an infection with pandemic potentialм
How about SUING the WHO? They violated every known science-based rationale for dealing with pandemics, as well as changing the definition of “panedmic” in the first place so that they could force these draconian idiocies on the world. There needs to be a criminal investigation against them, really, not just and enquiry …..
