Why is the pandemic over in Africa but not the rest of the world?

There is no great pleasure in being ahead of the research and identifying issues sometimes 6 months prior to everyone else.

It has been stated a few times in the past week by world leaders that the COVID-19 pandemic is now over. They may be correct dependent on where in the world this reference is directed.

The evidence still demonstrates localised epidemics in specific parts of the world. In those regions, I would encourage caution as we move into the winter period.

Is anyone willing to discuss the science around the evidence in this picture? Important to consider the ramifications and develop contingency strategies.

In April 2022, I identified a trend in the Omicron spread across the world. Africa was largely spared at the time. This was an inconvenient observation and the associated post was censored on LinkedIn.

The data was taken from the WHO website covid monitoring but my analysis was clearly “not accurate” at the time.

CENSORED! - Is Africa demonstrating that Omicron circulates in highly vaccinated regions?

Explanation for Omicron recirculation in highly vaccinated regions.

The evidence suggests that vaccination impacts negatively on mucosal immunity, which is the first line of defense against a viral infection. In a previous Substack post, I outlined the data from a paper looking at Health Care Workers in the UK.

Have COVID-19 vaccines blunted the immune response to Omicron?

In essence, natural immunity leads to a broader immune response than vaccination. Additionally, it appears the imprinting of the narrow vaccine response could be imprinted permanently on the immune system. Even a common cold (coronavirus) may become dangerous in a vulnerable individual.

In the image below, Dr John Campbell interviews someone in Uganda and it seems that the pandemic is over in that continent.
