The Guardian: Third wave sweeps across Africa as Covid vaccine imports dry up
WHO says continent urgently needs more jabs as eight countries report rise of 30% in cases in a week
African countries face a last-ditch battle against a third wave of Covid infections, as the supply of vaccines to the continent “grinds to a halt”, top health officials have warned. “The threat of a third wave in Africa is real and rising.
Our priority is clear – it’s crucial that we swiftly get vaccines into the arms of Africans at high risk of falling seriously ill and dying of Covid-19,” said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, the World Health Organization (WHO) regional director for Africa.
The WHO said the pandemic was now trending upwards in 14 countries and in the past week alone, eight countries had witnessed an abrupt rise of over 30% in cases.
However, vaccine shipments to African nations have ground to a near halt.

We will drown you in the mighty waves of the Corona virus (Chinese media ca March 2020 in response to complaints about the outbreak and if the west wouldn't shut up about it, and the PPE situation, which the Chinese bought up first then supplied faulty and at inflated prices back to the west)
It came from a food market!
Chinese media since then (with variations of "it came from Italy!" "It came from xyz" "don't call it Chinese you racist"and the classic "we will nuke you if you continue investigating".. you know.. the reaction of innocent people who just made a few trillion while millions died of their virus.
And they felt so sorry about it too.. all those Chinese crying in the streets about the deaths and destruction in our countries.
Lol..
CNN, Fauci etc went along with the lie
Democrats went along with the lie AND used last minute unconstitutional mail in ballots in the millions with almost no oversight.
It's a coup
It's a power grab
The left, the media, big tech they all lied to you and called you racist, deplatformed you, pushed lies.
They used a foreign attack to take power, grab your money and change the election... in short, they partnered with China who wanted trump gone
Some countries' populations are taking a beating because of the very people demanding others bail them out. I say demand evidence of attempts by the demanding poor countries "leadership" to combat the spread of the virus and we may reply with aid.
Everyone of the countries shown in the graph is a shithole.
If you argue that DRC is not a shithole, you are a shithead. Other than cobalt for fighter jets, Uncle Same has not wanted anything to do with Congo since the 1980s or before.
Namibia is a dictatorship. SWAPO did not improve things.
Uganda is a war zone.
Angola turned into a dictatorship thanks to the Castro backed MPLA. Dictator's daughter became Africa's richest woman. Dictator died and the dictatorship is becoming a somewhat better oligarchy?
The DRC, Angola and Namibia were all caught up in the proxy wars of the 60s, 70s and 80s. It did them no good or there was no good outcome. They are not well governed although they are heavily governed. They are basket cases. you say. Shocker. Soviets won in Namibia and Angola BTW.
Uganda is on the bloody edge of Islamic expansion and it is bloody. Is it shocking that health care sucks?
And this is what the 'lites in the Beltway want to herd us off the cliff for?
WNU is willing to help of course.
