Africans and Coronavirus


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:


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
