Equatorial Guinea has an infant death rate of 93%
Taki Theodoracopulos writes about an African politician who is living the good life in the United States while his people back in Africa live in poverty and misery.
I know, I followed the link the first time. I'm just saying that I don't believe it. Ive never heard of infant mortality even in the worst of the worst countries at the height of a famine ever going higher than about 30 percent. To think that 93 percent all babies are dying within the first year of life is just mind boggling. 9.3 percent, on the other hand, would be easily believable, so I'm guessing that's what it is.
As an aside, do you ever post on iSteve or other HBD related blogs anymore? You might get more readership if you did. Though if you're happy with things the way they are, that's good too.
9.3% does seem a more likely figure. Unfortunately, my busy work schedule means that I don't get as much time as I like to check out all the sites that I am interested in. Hopefully, in the future, I will get more time for sites such as iSteve.

That's got to be an error. Nobody could procreate if 93 percent of their babies were going to die.
That's what Taki Theodoracopulos claims in his article.
