Anti-vaxxers sign petition to cease vaccinations in VI
The anti-vaxxers have also given the government a 72-hour ultimatum to sit with residents to discuss their concerns.
This morning, July 12, 2021, Burnett, accompanied by a handful of persons, turned up at the Office of Governor John J. Rankin, CMG where they submitted the first copy of their petition.
The petition was reportedly collected by the governor’s security staff.
The group then moved to the Office of the Premier but were met with locked doors as everyone is currently working remotely.
The Premier’s copy; however, was received by the Office of the House of Assembly (HoA), along with the copy for the Leader of the Opposition Honourable Marlon A. Penn (R8).
What do the ant-vaxxers want?
Before today, the anti-vaxxers have been active on social media condemning the vaccination programme, while using conspiracy theories and unfounded medical claims to dissuade the population from taking the vaccine.
Some of the conspiracy theories are that the vaccination is meant for population control; is infecting persons with the coronavirus; is a profit-making scheme; is an experiment; and that governments worldwide are being paid to distribute the vaccine.
In a JTV News report, Burnett said: “We turned into our leaders a document accompanied by a few thousand signatures. Anything we are asking today of our government is nothing that is not already granted to us in the law, the constitution and the international human rights.”
According to Mr Burnett, they are asking the government to do several things.
“We are asking the government to please stop the discrimination in the workplaces of employees that’s vaccinated and unvaccinated. We are asking them to halt the issuing of vaccines presently until we understand what exactly is going on and what is the effect on people.
“We have also asked them to stop the greedy bill immediately, very important, and we have also asked for the Minister of Health to meet with the public within 72 hours to redirect a course of action that is more in line and fitting with the people of the Virgin Islands.”
Mr Burnett did not say exactly how many persons have signed the petition.

Similar movements are happening across the globe. Are they idiots also?

Yes, happy to confirm that idiocy is not unique to BVI and those people round the World are also idiots. Go ahead and do your research as long as that research is in proper peer reviewed medical journals not facebook, youtube or your crazy auntie. True wisdom, as Socrates said, is to know you know nothing. I know that spending some time googling on my phone ain't wisdom compared to decades of academic study by scientists. Smart people follow the science. Idiots follow second-rate radio DJs.

Thanks for making me laugh.
Clearly this dude was m***** when he was a child. What a waste of 9 months.
Not sure 'passion' should be praised if its totally misplaced and borne from a place of ignorance.
