Dear Editor,
From indisputable evidence that is available to us, it has been proven that persons who are vaccinated stand a far higher chance of being protected against the deadly coronavirus disease. Reports from all across the world have highlighted this fact. It is therefore advised that we get ourselves vaccinated at the earliest opportunity. Those who are opposed to the vaccination programme then need to rethink their position and come onboard with the health ministry and become immunized, while at the same time encourage others to do the same.
I am talking about encouraging persons to become fully vaccinated, when I say this I am not referring to taking the first dose only, but to get immunised with the full dose of the vaccines available. The point I am making is vaccines help save lives, or at the least gives one the immunity to withstand the disease should they become stricken with the disease. Get yourself immunised should be the call to all across our country.
On that note I am asking that those responsible remove politics and religious fanaticism from the pandemic and get on board. The coronavirus disease is not a political issue, neither is it a religious issue, it is a health issue, which means that it needs to stay in that domain. Health issues have to be scientifically addressed or dealt with in a health context.
When you analyse the present situation in our country, you see a new precedent developing, that is, persons who are affected by the disease are claiming that they have been vaccinated and yet have come down with the disease. However, careful examination shows that these people have either had preexisting conditions or at the first signs of the virus would have rushed to get themselves immunised.
This in itself is dangerous, because it means that you have been a carrier all along and have intermingled with others of the same household and even other persons along the way. You certainly might have passed on the dreaded disease to others, which makes the pandemic even a greater threat to others. This puts a strain on the health sector while at the same time increases fear among the population.
My people please get yourselves immunised today, do not wait until it is too late, let us help stop the spread of this deadly disease.
Respectfully Submitted,
Neil Adams
