For Immediate release
As the world fights against the Covid 19 pandemic, a lot of theories have emerged concerning the probable solutions to this problematic health issue.
Having been first detected in the Wuhan province of China, the virus spread to all countries and continents including Africa and Zimbabwe in particular. However, the news of Covid-19 vaccine hitting the market has caused more confusion amongst citizens more than the pandemic itself and dangers associated with it.
It must be noted that there are no scientifically proven side effects of the Covid vaccine yet but source of conspiracy is unavailability of information concerning chemical trial results of the same. Labour Economists and Afrikan Democrats (LEAD) is more concerned with the conspiracies associated with this vaccine.
To commence with, the theory of control is not clear even the extent of efficiency is not being publicised. It is important that as a nation we begin to question and publicly answer when and where chemical trials of the said vaccine was administered and by who.
This will have a super natural effect of helping us detect as a people the possibilities of any biological warfare. This comes from an understanding that our current statistics show that we are mainly suffering from recklessness.
Our government failed to do a reasonable and responsible check on probable effects of allowing mass movement during the Christmas period which went unguarded even in the wake of an unprecedented rise in South Africa’s statistics.
However, having noted that it’s still not too late to act responsibly without putting many of our citizens’ lives on the firing line. Zimbabwe needs responsible LEADers and politicians now who are ready to move out of denial mode and appreciate reality.
Africa loses much of it’s population to malaria not what this Covid is doing but the neo-colonial agenda has funded our media to concentrate on Covid 19 making people ignore duseases like HIV, Diabetes, Bp, Malaria, cancer, etc just to mention a few. In light of this the billion dollar question is why?
Considering the inscription of label use which suggests that the vaccine is meant for Africa only it can be deduced that patent rights are at play. What are local institutions like CAPS and Natpharm doing? It’s time we make our own medicines with the assistance of experts in the health sector.
True independence lies in appreciating our local produce and not vice versa. Moreover, Covid-19 tests at Institutions like Wilkins wherein someone who went for tests on the 110121 followed up on 150121 and was advised to wait in expectancy of results at home the question is how then can we successfully manage this pandemic if we cannot account for infections in real time.
By the time an individual knows his/her status the disease would have been transmitted to several contacts because the affected person is not certain of his/her status to take appropriate action.
Conclusively, we would like to urge authorities to start considering the Madagascar and Tanzanian herbs for trials and or tests as they are proving to be a bit reliable and secure considering bilateral relations between African nations. _
