We have two main projects we are supporting at the present time:
The first is the Buwanga Way to Health Foundation,
This is a registered NGO in Uganda we have started three years go. The relatively small scale, and working through a small number of known individuals allows us to avoid problem of corruption which have been associated with some projects in the past.
I visited this Buwanda in Uganda last year and personally confirmed the work being done. For example, this is a ‘health camp’ we conducted during my stay,
In addition to direct medical work, we also help local food security by growing crops and milling maize corn. The profits made from milling are used to sustain poor local children,
Currently we are providing for over 200 children. As this sub-project is supported by local enterprise we have instigated, it is consistent with the philosophy of ‘empowerment not aid’.
Regular reports on this Uganda work are published by Registered Medical Officer Wefwafwa Andrew via his YouTube channel,
The second main project we support is New Hope Children’s Centre Uplands (near Nairobi, Kenya),
This was founded by a remarkable woman called Anne Chege, whom I have known for about 12 years. Again, this is a project I have personally visited several times and can confirm its validity. This was my last interview with Anne,
This is my brief video from my last visit,
I also have good friends who live in Nairobi and visit the Children’s Centre several times per year.
Natural immunity
Within 4 weeks following infection, 90-99% of individuals infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus develop detectable neutralizing antibodies.
Available scientific data suggests that in most people immune responses remain robust and protective against reinfection for at least 6-8 months after infection (the longest follow up with strong scientific evidence is currently approximately 8 months).
Cellular immunity elicited by natural infection also target other viral proteins, which tend to be more conserved across variants than the spike protein.

Natural immunity
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Naturally Acquired Immunity versus Vaccine-induced Immunity, Reinfections versus Breakthrough Infections: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Background
Waning of protection,
conferred by 2 doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine,
begins shortly after injection,
becomes substantial within 4 months.
Group 1, N = 673,676
Vaccine not Infection Group
SARS-CoV-2-naive individuals who received a 2-dose regimen of the BioNTech/Pfizer mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine.
Group 2, N = 62,883
Infection not Vaccine Group
Previously infected individuals who have not been vaccinated
SARS-CoV-2-related outcomes
(Delta variant times)
Infection
13 times more infections in vaccinated group
Symptomatic disease
27 times more disease in vaccinated group
Hospitalization
8 in vaccinated group, 0 in infection group
Conclusions
Naturally acquired immunity confers stronger protection against infection and symptomatic disease caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2,
compared to the BNT162b2 2-dose vaccine-indued immunity.
Cleveland Clinic
Health-care workers 1,359 unvaccinated,
who had previously tested positive,
non got infected
The study authors concluded:
“individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from covid-19 vaccination.”

It’s okay to have an incorrect scientific hypothesis.
But when new data proves it wrong, you have to adapt.
Unfortunately, many elected leaders and public health officials have held on far too long to the hypothesis that natural immunity offers unreliable protection against covid-19,
a contention that is being rapidly debunked by science.
Sixteen studies have demonstrated the power of acquired immunity
That’s why it’s so frustrating that the Biden administration has repeatedly argued that immunity conferred by vaccines is preferable to immunity caused by natural infection,
