> The vaccines turned an extremely dangerous pandemic into a tolerable-if-still-worrisome endemic disease.

Effective vaccinations were pretty much limited to the first world countries. Third world countries either did not have access to vaccines or used subpar ones like russia's sputnik. I would like to see a scientific study comparing the duration of pandemic in vaccinated vs non-vaccinated countries. It would be apples to oranges comparison but there are be some interesting insights to learn.

It says that most Haitians are young (see the population pyramid for example to get an idea how young) and were not affected much by the virus and they don't care (about their old) that much because they have their own difficulty to stay alive and not starving.

But it for sure affected them https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.CDRT.IN?location...
