Leave Africa alone. You have done enough!

How many have been tested? How many are whites,Indians,Coloreds & blacks? What is their age? What are their backgrounds,are they from rich or poor families?... These kind of question can help us understand better this virus

So now the focus is in Africa, isn't it a coincidence number of cases massively increase is the plan to bring the vaccine in Africa ✊🏾✊🏾 AfricanIsNotAnExperiment AfricaIsNotALaboratory
