This is not going to go away like SARS and MERS (technically not 100% eradicated, but nobody thinks about it). Sad that millions of doses are being discarded around the world.

Genius1111 Posted July 24, 2023 Author Posted July 24, 2023 Nayib Bukele’s administration in El Salvador has come under fire from rights groups for apparently falsifying Covid-19 figures in an attempt to cover up the true cost of the pandemic. Two-thirds of the country’s Covid-19 fatalities were left out of official figures in order to give the illusion that the authoritarian government had the pandemic under control, the Salvadoran newspaper La Prensa Gráfica reported on Monday. El Salvador’s health ministry regularly broadcast the country’s Covid-19 daily death count in what appeared to be a regional success story. The country has recorded 668 Covid-19 deaths per million people, according to official figures – the lowest in Central America except for Nicaragua, which has reported an even more implausible 245 deaths under the dictator Daniel Ortega. In contrast, the figures obtained by La Prensa Gráfica would give El Salvador one of the highest per capita death rates in Central America, exceeding Guatemala and Honduras, among others in the region. Salvadoran doctors had alleged that the government was censoring information during the pandemic to give the illusion it had the public health crisis under control while in reality the public health system was collapsing.
