The growing Covid crisis in the 'developing world'

Once again, disease ravages poor countries far more effectively than in affluent ones - the latter preoccupied with BLM, climate change, safe spaces, trigger warnings and gender quotas. Bjorn Lomborg has demontrated, using data, that far more things kill people and at far greater rates than climate change and he suggests it would be in the best interests of the world if this was addressed first. That if you mitigated disease and controlled famine, housing, poor infrastructure and population pressures you'd actually be doing better globally than by trying to 'control' the world's temperatures. But it's a religion now and we know how resilient and resistant to external influence that is. Not to mention the politics of climate change.

What I found interesting and disturbing in this essay is that quite a few of the countries identified as succumbing to Covid-19 and collapsing into despair were once ordered and manageable British colonies, until the locals drove them out. I daresay if many of those former British colonies were still colonies they'd have vaccines already - or some of them would have at least some vaccines. What answers does the Left have - apart from celebrating de-colonization - to help these people - and which comes (like most of their ideas) at zero personal cost to themselves?

This is what the Left is doing about Covid destruction in developing countries:
