Problem is when people get vaccinated, they think they cannot contract covid or die from the disease
Change strategy, stop people from sleeping together for at least 3 months.
That COVID is most transmitted from mouth to mouth.
Still not taking this disease seriously. Just warn people to adhere to the laid down rules or we go back to lockdown. If there is very little compliance just introduce limited lockdown for a few days so that people start adhering to the rules to avoid lockdown.

And people are wondering why even get vaccinated and you can still get COVID and die…so what’s the Vaccine for ???
The problem is that people think vaccination is the only silver bullet against the disease. This is the type of thinking that has led to a lot more conflict and misery than the disease itself has done. Meanwhile, we have more deadly diseases like Malaria, HIV, TB or cancer which we have successfully managed to control even without any vaccine.
We did better during our tenure. More people were coming forward to get vaccinated. Now they know that the imperialist bootlicker hh will allow the inoculation of test vaccines from the west. We are not monkeys!
The vast majority of us have gone through covid with very mild flu-like symptoms, without even the thought of visiting the health system.
Why doesn’t the honourable minister publicise the mortality rate of conditions like malaria and dysentry, so we can tally the results and make an informed decision.
A drive to vaccinate should never be through fear-mongering. It makes your medical degree look worthless.
Evening Minister,
The issue at hand is that you are in charge.
Show us what you’re made of.
You can’t sound helpless.
We vote for hope and help,so do the needful help and create hope.
You rip what you sow. During your time in opposition you made people believe that Covid19 was just a make believe by the government. All the same I agree with you with what you have said Silvia
Ba Minister n healthybscientist can you tell us what drives you to encourage us to be vaccinated yet the worst anticipated is happening globally
See whats happening in UK. Already you are blindly and mungulu supporting vaccines which now what to inject our kids. Please spare us as Africans we are under too much stress.

(Natural News) The latest data from the British government shows a disturbing trend among the “fully vaccinated,” who are very clearly dying at a significantly higher rate than the unvaccinated.

Upwards of one million people have suffered serious injuries or died so far from the shots. And this is a conservative estimate based on official government data, which is known to…
