#Afrique : Où est passée la catastrophe annoncée ?
1. Sur ce graphe à 2,4 milliards d'habitants :
🟤 décès Covid des pays les + vaccinés 🙄
🟢 idem pour les moins vaccinés (surtout africains)👇
🔷courbe d'évolution du ratio entre ces deux valeurs, depuis avril 2021
2. Des stats facilement disponibles permettent d'évaluer les populations à risque suivant l'âge et la prévalence de l'obésité et du diabète.
Là, pas d'échelle logarithmique pour bien visualiser la disproportion entre risque relatif constaté et facteurs de risque.
#Dontlookup !
3. Parce qu'on pourrait se dire que les facteurs de risque se cumulent ou s'amplifient.
Mais non, prenons le cas extrême (et absurde) où les différentes populations à risque seraient distinctes pour les Vax+ et confondues pour les Vax-, on trouverait un ratio max… inférieur à 4.

1/3 "We report reduction in proportion of hospitalisations and deaths from SARS-CoV-2 infections during the Omicron variant dominated wave in Malawi, in the context of high SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and low COVID-19 vaccination coverage."

thelancet.com/journals/eclin…
2/3 "These findings suggest that COVID-19 vaccination policy in high seroprevalence settings may need to be amended from mass campaigns to targeted vaccination of reported at-risk populations."
3/3 What about vaccine non-responders? What about those who have not seroconverted despite exposure? How many of the study participants were reinfected? How many are victims of viral reservoirs and/or viral persistence? What about latent post-acute sequelae of #SARSCoV2?

1. Franchement, le risque apparent x200, trouvé en avril en défaveur des pays les plus vaccinés, laissait penser à un concours de circonstances devant rapidement disparaître.
De là à atteindre les x5⃣0⃣0⃣ !
Du coup, je laisse les pronostics aux vrais scientifiques…
2. La liste des pays a été recalculée en fonction des taux de vax au 1er octobre et a légèrement bougé.
Mais les chiffres "magiques" 35/42 continuent à donner des populations très équilibrées (<2% de différence).
Toutes données vérifiables sur @OurWorldInData.
3. Et la courbe bleue, très aplatie par l'échelle log, montre bien que le risque relatif était descendu jusqu'à 7 en août 21, soit proche des principaux facteurs de risque.
Avec des méthodes de comptabilisation inchangées, comment ce risque a-t-il pu être multiplié par 100 ?

International food commodity prices are retreating but simply not enough to dent food inflation!
Hundreds of millions of people remain crippled by the toxic combination of tumbling currencies and high food inflation.

Erster Termin: Treffen mit Klimaminister Eisenhower Nduwa Mkaka, der auch für natürliche Ressourcen zuständig ist, auch für Forst u Fischerei. (Pic: das Ministerium für natürl. Ressourcen u Klima). Wir hatten leider nur 1 Std für viele wichtige Themen.

It’s been 2 weeks since our ‘Racism for Sale’ investigation dropped and I thought it might be worth sharing some of the fallout. ICYMI the basic story & links to the film are here…

First, a *lot* of ppl watched this film: > 2m on FB, >1.6m on Insta, >1m on YouTube in English & Chinese. Another 750k in Brazil.

This is a story about racist exploitation of kids, and it clearly resonated all over the world. @Lupita_Nyongo shared it too, which never hurts…
People in #Malawi were legitimately outraged...

Latest data suggests countries outside 🇨🇳 are considering over 124GW new #coal power projects,much of which was expected to rely on 🇨🇳 public finance. Since Xi’s announcement at #UNGA 2021, the lack of clarity or follow-up has created some confusion bit.ly/3uYf0TA
