COVID-19: A truly Western Virus, Not as Issue in Africa

 It seems the great Gorgon Brown has raised his head again to plead on behalf of Africa and their lack of Covid-19 vaccinations. 

The Science says that the virus isn't an issue with anyone under the age of 60 unless you have co-morbidities (underlying health conditions). So Covid only causes a problem if you are already suffering from a disease that Western medicine is helping keep you alive.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, there is no such problem. There are no co-morbidities. Everyone suffering from Diabetes of heart problems have already died. They don't have the medicinal infrastructure to keep those people alive. 

Ergo, Covid-19 isn't as big a problem for African countries as it is in the West.  What is in effect a seasonal flu for people under 60 without any underlying health conditions. 

There's no need to vaccinate huge swathes of the population like there is in the West. They don't have long-term health conditions, they don't have a huge population over 60. It's actually quite acceptable scientifically to not vaccinate and instead allow the population to gain immunity naturally, rather then use some genetically modified product. It's probably statistically safer too.

It's not being cynical, it's actually scientifically factual.
