New Study from Ioannidis: Covid’s IFR in 2020 Was Less Than 0.1% for Those Under 70, Even Lower Than Previously Believed

A new study on Covid-19’s infection fatality rate (IFR) by age from a team led by Dr. John Ioannidis, the world’s most-cited physician, estimates that Covid’s IFR in the pre-vaccine era was under 0.1% for those under 70—even lower than previously believed.

Haiti has one of the lowest Covid death rates. Because it has a low vaccination rate.

https://atlantablackstar.com/2021/05/11/experts-puzzled-by-why-haiti-has-one-of-the-lowest-covid-19-death-rates-in-the-world-despite-administering-zero-vaccine-doses-we-dont-know/

Dr. Jean “Bill” Pape, a top Haitian infectious disease expert, said the nation’s low death rate can’t be attributed to strict adherence to mask-wearing or social distancing guidelines.
“Most people don’t wear a mask,” he said.
By December, most restrictions had been lifted and buses and markets have been crowded in recent months. No one in Haiti has received a single dose of a coronavirus vaccine.
When COVAX, a program run by the World Health Organization, offered Haiti AstraZeneca vaccines, the government declined the offer.
“Because COVID did not impact us as badly, people don’t think the vaccine is worth it actually,” Dr. Jacqueline Gautier, a member of Haiti’s advisory group on COVID vaccinations, told NPR.

That was from a year and a half ago. Since then there's been a major earthquake (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Haiti_earthquake) and, more recently, moths of violent unrest (https://www.aljazeera.com/where/haiti/).

I doubt anyone is collecting much covid data there these days.

oh boy this fact really triggered the fat Covid Nazi.

The richest nations with the highest VAX rate have the highest covid DEATH rate.

At the HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC, HAITI HAD ONE THE LOWEST COVID DEATH RATES and LOWEST VACCINATION RATE.

Keep seething Covid Nazi.

Your opinion as a fat Covid Nazi, who is pushing experimental mRNA in healthy infant and who wants to give myocarditis to healthy kids, is worthless.

You’re pariah. Get boosted. Recharge your immune with mRNA every 90 days Covid Nazi. That’s all we want for you.
