Philippines Experts Still Looking to build "Wall of Immunity", jab babies. VaxCertPH Expires. Leaky Vaccines. The Excess Death Waves in Israel Match Jab rollouts, particularly for seniors.
I agree that Philippines age distribution is a major reason for less impacts, particularly during the initial waves. Filipinos in the provincial regions may not be overweight, but there are certainly a very high % of people overweight in the cities, and particularly Manila.
There are also massively high rates of abnormal blood pressure (DOH estimates about 30%, and from doing annual medicals in my company with my mostly young staff in Manila I absolutely believe it). I also have seen massively high rates of abnormal glucose tolerance. In my office, with 40 staff, oldest in the 40s. I have a small handful of people who are already diabetic and then nearly all of the rest except for another very small handful, have abnormal glucose tolerance though not yet diabetic. I.e Hba1c above 5.0 but not yet at the cutoff for overt diabetes. Nearly all of my staff are overweight, and this includes people who are physically active. I think we also have metabolic disarray despite relatively lower body weights. The TOFI. Thin on the Outside Fat Inside, with severe insulin resistance. Everything here is sweet and white rice, bread and noodles, and fruit form the basis of many people's diet. Every junk food chain is here as well as a good number of locally grown ones.
COVID-19 is a false flag operation to usher in the new world order.
They are forging death certificates to inflate the figures.
Do your research!
Say NO to: martial law, mandatory vaccines, one world currency, and cashless society.
"COULD LOW VACCINATION UPTAKE EXPLAIN THE PHILIPPINES RELATIVELY LOWER RATES OF COVID-19 CASES AND DEATHS?"
My answer to that is -- The Philippines has a low rate of obesity and a low percentage of those over the age 65.
We have known from the beginning that those with underlying health issues or were old and weak were the most likely to die.
Obesity rate: Philippines 6.4% - USA 26.4% - UK 27.8% - Israel 26.1%
% of population over 65: Philippines 5.0% - USA 16.8% - UK 18.5% - Israel 12.0%
Cambodia has a high vaccination rate with a very low death rate.
Obesity 3.9% Over 65 3.8%
