    You recall incorrectly, and you have no idea how many of the recent fatalities in South Africa were due to Omicron because they haven't got enough facilities to always identify variants and that data doesn't exist.

      The independent consistent evidence ( excess deaths in 2020 and 2021) says otherwise. And you forget that there are also significant disincentive for medical fraud. Again this sort of thought process is driven by paranoia and extreme skepticism with the level of ethics found in our medical professionals.

      Honestly, why would you ever trust your health to a doctor or hospital ever again if they are so thoroughly unethical across this nation as would be required to make any significant difference in covid mortality numbers?
      My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

      If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

      This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

        I understand the difficulty with determining the responsible strain there, but as to the other

        From exactly a month ago:

        Source: The Challenges Africa Poses to COVID-19 Vaccinations


        Roughly 432 million vaccines have been dispersed across the African continent. Still, COVID-19 vaccination rates stand at 7.35% for the continent, with many countries hovering around 1%, according to the Africa Centers for Disease Control.

        From New Years Eve:

        Source: Covid-19 vaccinations: African nations miss WHO target


        A target for achieving full vaccination rates of 40% in every country by the end of December has been missed across most of Africa.

        The World Health Organization (WHO) put forward the goal earlier this year, but only about 9% of people on the continent have been fully vaccinated against Covid so far.

        And THIS:
        So... 7.35%... about 9%...10.09%. Even though these represent the estimates from different groups at different times from December 15, 2021 to January 15, 2022 (1 month), I think it is sufficient to support my statement that "only somewhere around 10% of the public in Africa are vaxxed.

        I'm always still in trouble again

          Oh! I misread you to be talking about South Africa, not the whole of Africa. I apologise.

          But the omicron surge isn't over in most of Africa. It's only just levelling off. So any fatality figures from it are still weeks away, and you can't possibly know how many there were yet..

            They correlate very closely.*
            The recent increase in fatalities seems* to have peaked exactly two weeks after the omicron spread peak.

            *There's a slight delay in reporting, so the numbers for the last few days may increase over the next few days.
