I don’t need no science here.
The proof is in the pudding.
Many have used it along with myself and family.
41 in hospital. ALL UNVACCINATED
The choice is your. Luck and chances are highly risky, especially facing the deadly covid-19 virus, Ignorance even greater.
It doesn’t hurt , you don’t feel it. Side effects are mostly none and at worst slight. It could save your life.
Get vaccinated.

Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the NIH (an evangelical Christian who also believes in science) says the only corners that were cut in the emergency development of these vaccines was “Red Tape”. Scientist’s all over the world were dropping other research to work on this because it was/is a Global Health Emergency! As we are only getting a taste of here in the BVI, because people so strongly rejected vaccination.
I recommend everyone does it... then try to tell me how we became so infected so fast.
Total 2nd dose = 10,113
Estimated VI population = 35,000
Estimated population percentage fully vaccinated = 28.89% (10,113/35,000)
Now it is too late, it's game on and there is nothing we can do about it.
It's like watching a train crash. Darwin's law is about to smash head on in to religion and we unfortunately are sitting courtside.
