I saw a side-by-side map comparison. In the first, all the countries in the world with Covid cases were colored (e.g.) blue. In the second, all the countries in the world with malaria were colored red. There was no overlap. The malarial countries commonly used chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine to combat malaria. HCQ happens also to be a zinc ionophore---something that increases the permeability of cell membranes to the zinc ion. The presence of the zinc ion within a cell defeats a virus's replication mechanism. (This was the chief insight of Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. His protocol included HCQ and zinc.) That, and the African peoples tend to be a hardy lot, while Covid-19 was not really distinguishable from the flu.
Finally, thanks to Bill Gates's previous forays into pandemic tinkering, his name is regarded as a dark omen for any vaccination campaign. Plenty of Africans have bad memories of previous disastrous vaccinations. Plenty of skepticism.
