Changing poor people’s naturally robust DNA by innoculating them with a controversial chemical mixture of mNRA vaccines causes my heart to cry. Anway, many people play Russian Roulette with their health so they rush for the jab and ask questions later when it should always be questions first – If answers are not making sense, ku kana! Like Chris Chali once sang: balempatikisha ninkana eh!
ITS THEIR LIFE THEIR DECISION ……… LET THEM CARRY ON
THEY DONT EVEN KNOW THE MEANING OF DNA
WHAT ENCOURAGEMENT HAS THE PRESI(DENT GIVEN ???????????
HISTORY WILL NOT BE KIND TO HIM BUT I DOUBT IT WILL BOTHER HIM
The f00ls commenting in diaspora have not even had theirs yet.
President ECL, how safe is Astra Zeneca?
KZ also commenting from UK diaspora has not has his vaccine yet as Boris Johnson does the same as president Lungu and doesn’t give vaccines to foreigners, even after receiving the vaccines from abroad for free.
So they got vaccines for 925 people as each person needs 2 , big deal. Why should religious leaders get them ahead of their church goers are they are preaching that god protects you if you go to church. all churches should be closed as that is how the virus spreads Are not large gatherings now prohibited . no church services no need for advance vaccines get in the Q like the rest of us. the vaccines should go to old and sick people first to protect them. not some money grabbing pastor.
