The idiot anti vaxers told you that Covid would only kill the old and the weak. Ordinary guys would be fine.
3 males 45, 49,39.
This thing randomly kills anyone who is not vaccinated.
Don’t volunteer to be a victim.
W**** crap like Rubber Duck you don't respond too.
Accept this truth or don't. We are paying a huge price for our careless lifestyle. Please people, let us make some needful adjustments, but while we are making them, we should be wise not to refuse help, base on random belief, nor he say, she say, they and them say, that do not offer any medical help against the covid-19 killer virus.
Please, let us do what we are are to do. God will do what we are unable to do. Please, accept the help that is now available to us. Life is not luck and chance. Life is a gift, are knowledge and wisdom. Again, please accept the help offered to us free of charge. If we don't, things will get from bad to worst.
Please, accept the anti-covid-19 vaccine. It will not kill you. Covid-19 the real killer, not the anti-covid-19 vaccine. God is love.
I urge all persons that have yet gotten the two doses of anti-covid-19 not to delay any further. Time is precious
Don't gamble with life. Get vaccinated today. Tomarrow may be too late.
God loves us all. We also should love ourselves and neighbors, too.
Blessings to all.
Only 32.000 out of a population of 110.000 has been vaccinated, more said they will take it if the government offer the Cuban vaccine, maybe we should have the option for those who are reluctant to get the vaccine.
Just saying.
Perhaps it’s possible that all U.K. support, the Governor, COI etc are also meant in solidarity and support… Is is perhaps possible that today the U.K. has no agenda except helping the helping the ordinary people of BVI??
(I acknowledge how horrendous slavery was hundreds of years ago. But that is now a very long time ago and doesn’t have to dictate the current relationship).
