    Good news so far, but are you sure only four (4) active cases. Did your examine all the people that are living among us? You should instead report four (4) known cases. Thanks for your good efforts on this matter.

      Why are you encouraging people with zero expertise to research something when experts have said to take the jab? It makes zero sense and comes across as very ignorant.

        Covid 19 Vaccine

        - Does Not Provide Immunity
        - Does Not Eliminate The Virus
        - Does Not Eliminate Mask Wearing & Social Distancing
        - Does Not Prevent You From Passing It On To Others
        - Does Not Guarantee You Won't Get It
        - Does Not Prevent Death

      Yes, do your research but it the research comes out in favour of the vaccines it can be ignored. That's what you really mean isn't it?

      The type of research the average person can do is to look at what has happened where they have been widely used. In both Israel and the UK the epidemic is largely over because of vaccines. There are no reports of serious side effects in the almost 50 million vaccinated in those two countries.

      Normal is not coming back, get over it. Can't you see the world is being controlled by WHO, DAVOS, The UN, and World Economic Forum? This Covid19 is a depopulation plan, and the vaccines are integeral. In 1950's there were only polio, small pox vaccines, now there are dozens of vaccines given to children, why is that? What is in them? Why did my mom live to 91 without all those vaccines? Hmmmm oh why am I living fine only with small pox and polio?? Is it $$$ made by the big medicine makers? Or is it systemic poisoning of our children so they have to go to the medical people and give them all their money to get well, after the vaccines make them sick? What are all those shots for?? How did mankind ever survive 6,000 years without all those?? Oh, perhaps the immune system God gave His creation worked fine. . . But now Science is GOD and SCIENCE will save? hmmm Jesus is coming back soon, be ready or you are not going to heaven.

        @vaccinated.... 'how did mankind ever survive 6,000 years without all those?' ..... If Covid was left to run rampant not everyone would die... A LOT of people would die, a lot of people HAVE died, without the vaccine a lot MORE people would die. Yes people survived without vaccines, but the population of the world was nowhere near what it is now.... what is the main reason for lower infant mortality rates and longer lives now compared to back then.... SCIENCE!

      Look at Worldometer

      Look at India

      Click on deaths from Covid 19 per million persons you will find 145 persons per million per day are dying of Covid19

      Look at where India is on that list of deaths per million. . . it is #119

      Look at USA. deaths per million 1,766 look where USA is on the lists of deaths per million. . .

      Look at UK numbers, which are worse than USA. Yeah go look, get informed.

      Stop fear mongering.

      Since the pandemic started, our problem is been civil servants who keep calling for govt to lockdown in the early period for every little thing because their pay sure, now we moving forward pass the lock down, those same civil servants are pushing the anti vaccine campaign, because their salaries are sure, they are hampering tbe country's progress with tbeir selfish and negative attitude..That need to addressed...

    Bullying is NOT ALLOWED! It is everyone's right to jab or not to. Some feel the jab will help some feel it will harm them. You people calling people names whether yeah or nay, is bullying at its worst. Do what you feel is right for you and leave others alone. Their lives, not yours. If you don't like a persons decision, well......who in the hell are you? I bet no one can force you to do anything you don't want to. Two faced!

    I don’t know why you all don’t shut up! It’s a personal choice let the people vax up to achieve herd immunity. If you not taking it feel good for yourself and encourage others to take it.
