Core Tip: From an African perspective, we feel fortunate that we were able to avoid the compulsory nucleic acid-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination and most COVID mandates. This letter to the editor aims to call for a fair assessment of the damage induced by those mandates compared to our African early treatment approach that saved the lives of the African people who were too skeptical to adopt the early global propaganda claiming “perfectly safe and perfectly effective vaccines”. This propaganda was later revealed to not be as safe or effective, at least as shown by societies of COVID-19 vaccine victims all over the world, as well as by a COVID-19 mortality paradox that favored Africa over wealthy, heavily COVID-19 vaccinated countries.
