Are the Admins and/or Mods here racists?

They keep hiding any topic about how Africans (not South Africa) have not died from Covid.

The defense is "hiding a topic is not censorship", but I don't buy it. I think there is some racism here. The following does not show up unless you are a registered member here, and will never show up in a search engine.

What are you afraid of? I know you are white males, so try to check your white privilege and stop hiding the truth.

But by July of 2020, scientists published an article in Nature talking about the Africa Paradox which means they were working on it for weeks and months before that.

Covid-19 Pandemic: the Africa Paradox

I remember reading it and posting about it, maybe it was on one of the coronavirus subs that I frequented during the pandemic, but I didn’t post about it here.

Lots of people arguing that Covid wasn’t that serious and that very few would die from it would bring up the Africa paradox to argue that Covid had a tiny IFR (or they seized on the hypothesis that there was previous corona exposure so we would hit herd immunity threshold earlier than models expected)

It’s funny that I used phrasing from the name from the paper to describe the situation. The African paradox stuck in my head. This is a lesson for all scientists: snappy titles help.

No.

That's just your opinion mick. I have evidence all the admins here are massively anti-white racists, anti-Christian bigots and pro-vaccine fanatics.

I also observe that f(x) loves us and follows us around.

Oh, and ... thread moved.

Africa handled COVID better than the rest of the world because they had already been through Ebola. They were already familiar with masks, social distancing, and hand washing... the things so many Americans scoffed at. That's right, they acted smarter than us.

And you're a troll (but only a half-assed one).

I see -FX- has a new troll post, I haven't read it, but the title is very similar to another old troll post that was moved into The Cloaca. Should that get moved to the Cloaca and possibly merged with that thread?
