Aside from the obvious complications of endemic poverty, there's still a lot of mistrust of the West, mystical notions surrounding disease, and especially a lot of cultural antipathy towards vaccination as a loss of virility. "Real men don't get vaccinated." So, you have a huge amount of vaccine hesitancy combined with third-world impediments to distribution and access

So, you have a huge amount of vaccine hesitancy combined with third-world impediments to distribution and access My friend said the distribution issues are absolutely crushing. Getting the vaccine into the countries is the least of the problems.

The devil in the details here is really fluid at this stage.

In NJ for example 10% of positive tests were used to conduct genomic sequencing tests. This is why you remain stupid. You calling someone else stupid. Lol

Last time I asked for the contextual facts in a post in here I got sheeted on by the usual pile on artists to use google and not be lazy. FWIW I agree with you.

August 15, 20215 yr New study in Sweden shows that antibodies remain effective after one year for over 80% of all patients (others may still have the T cell protection). The protection was observed as superior to the vaccines and protects against COVID variants including delta though not quite as good for the Brazilian and South African variants. The study also shows that one jab of Pfizer helped as a booster and that two jabs was completely unnecessary for those who had the antibodies. Nice with a little bit of positive news on this topic. Let's see if this study holds as it is not peer reviewed yet. Link to preprint publication Correction: There were actually two studies pointed to in the article I read today. The 2nd study, here https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352396421003169 is where the topic of protection from natural antibodies vs. a fully vaccinated approach is analyzed. I missed this one.
