The
governors of Louisiana and Michigan, and other ‘experts’ and celebrities, are
drawing attention to the larger percentage of deaths due to COVID in the
African community vs other ethnicities.
This is fine, so long as they don’t try to use it to exploit the black
folks for their own ends (be they political, financial, or what have you). For those African neighbors who make up part
of our Southern ethnos, or wherever you may be, rather than listen to a
mouthful of empty rhetoric coming from politicians or corporate oligarchs, we
offer the following rather helpful explanation and advice regarding blacks and
this latest illness from Bill Sardi:
Pro Publica has released data
showing African Americans have contracted and died of coronavirus
at an alarming rate.
The higher incidence of
coronavirus infection among African Americans has erupted into “playing the
race card.”
Sean Collins writes at VOX:
“The Trump administration blames Covid-19 black mortality rates on poor
health. It should blame its policies.”
Dr. Camara Jones, a family
physician, epidemiologist and visiting fellow at Harvard University
said: “This is the time to name racism as the cause of all of
those things (poverty, heart
disease, high blood pressure, weak immune systems).
President Trump asked: “Why is it that the African American community is so much,
numerous times more than everybody else?
(sic) We want to find the reason to it.”
If you take a black man in
the sunny Caribbean and move him to a less sunny more northern latitude you vastly
increase his risk for tuberculosis, which is the lung disease some health
authorities believe is mistaken for COVID-19 coronavirus by the way.
London, England has a very high rate of tuberculosis, nine times higher than the rest of England. Manny
of the people with tuberculosis in London were born abroad. The incidence
rate is highest among black Africans at 283 per 100,000 versus 8/100,000 for
Caucasians.
Both the physical and mental
capacities of humans are governed
and preprogrammed by sunlight/vitamin D.
The medical literature
clearly reveals Blacks, because of the dark melanin pigment in their skin that
screens out solar UV radiation and thus inhibits natural vitamin D synthesis in
the skin, have
lower vitamin D levels.
Dark-skinned East Indians and
African Americans require six
times more sun/skin exposure to produce the same amount of natural vitamin D as Caucasians.
The National Medical
Association, representing Black physicians, bemoans the disparity in COVID-19
coronavirus cases and deaths among African Americans, calling it part of “slave health deficit,”
with no apparent understanding that vitamin D deficiency is at the root of all
this suffering and chronic
disease in Black communities, in
particular lung disease.
Researchers claim it
would cost
about $1 billion a year to provide 1000 IU (250 micrograms) of vitamin D to all
adult Americans. The total U.S. economic
burden due to vitamin D insufficiency from inadequate exposure to solar UV-B
radiation, diet, food fortification and supplements is estimated
at $40-56 billion annually (2004).
It would be interesting to
see if strongly anti-Trump African Americans would refuse free vitamin D pills
if the President pushed legislation through for the federal government to
provide them to low income blacks

South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð,
unworthy though we are!
Anathema to the Union!
