How Kahnawake has become a statistical anomaly in the fight against COVID-19

  KAHNAWAKE The Kanien kehá:ka (Mohawk) community of Kahnawake is being described as a miracle and a statistical anomaly when it comes to fighting the spread of COVID-19. While Quebec in general, and the greater Montreal area in particular, are hard hit, the Mohawk community has no deaths or hospitalizations resulting from the novel coronavirus. Part of that success has been attributed to the expertise of family doctor and virologist Annick Gauthier. During spring break in 2020, when COVID-19 first began to appear in the province, Gauthier was on a trip to New York, where she was going to meet former colleagues from Rockefeller University. She d worked with them previously to discover a treatment for hepatitis C. Dr. Charles Rice was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine last October for his work on the project.
