Bishop Cline calls for boycott of businesses demanding employee vaccination
Mr Cline said on a special edition of My BVI Radio Show on July 7, 2021, that the AstraZeneca vaccine is an experimental drug that does not prevent one from contracting nor spreading the virus, and it has caused death and illness.
“We are not anti-vaxxers; people are not anti-vaccines, but let people have their choice! Let them have a choice! The unvaccinated does not present any greater risk than vaccinated people; they do not because all of us can catch the virus, and all of us can transmit the virus.
“We will not sit down and allow businesses to victimise the unvaccinated like they are criminals. If it is that businesses don’t want unvaccinated employees, then they should not want unvaccinated clients in their business. The whole unvaccinated population should boycott your business; that’s what they should do because you are being unfair to your employees,” he said.
Unvaccinated ppl can continue to follow protocols
Bishop Cline stated that those who are not vaccinated can follow the protocols like wearing their masks.
“What kind of country are we living in? And then the Labour Department and whomever else are just going to put their hands up and say, ‘that’s not us, we are not mandating this’. The Labour Department, the Government authorities who have put out that this vaccine is like the saviour of the world and that we can open up the country once we all get vaccinated, now we know that is not true because we have more cases now that 50 per cent of our population are vaccinated, we now have more cases than we ever had,” he argued.
“But still you are putting pressure; where is this pressure coming from? What big pharmaceuticals or higher powers is putting pressure on governments, media houses and businesses to do this? This is wrong,” he added.
The man of the cloth said once you are involved in an experiment, like taking the AstraZeneca Vaccine, there is no way of knowing the long term effects.
“Two, three years from now, you don’t know what’s going to happen to these persons and anything you say against the vaccine, you are a conspiracy theorist, you are an anti-vaxxer, you are labeled all kinds of things. When the data is out there to show the amount of persons that have been injured by this. The people have genuine concerns and genuine fear, and they are being penalized by threatening them to lose their job or make them stay home like they are committing some crime.”
Several employees across the Virgin Islands have been threatening job security if their staff do not become fully vaccinated, a move that has sparked public outcry.
According to the Territory's Epidemiological Survey, as of July 7, 2021, some 9670 persons have received both doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine while 13,803 have only received a first dose.
There are 659 active cases of COVID-19 recorded in the territory.

I just read the O**M*** report, I am not entering to that supermarket until they remove that inhuman policy! Looking out for their customers? Well I ‘was’ one of their customers... and I thank God that Mark and his NDP Party was not elected!!!
.
Not much sympathy for the deliberately unvaccinated anywhere, Pastor Cline.
Vaccinated people can catch and spread the virus. Vaccinated people have been hospitalized and can die so your point is moot.
They all must follow protocols don’t they ?
It’s time for us to stand up this is not right .
I can't believe you preach Gospel.
Poor fellow
How will you achieve herd immunity when you don't even know your population size or make up? What is your population size? How many of those are children who cannot be vaccinated? Fully vaccinated people in the hospital and you all got this vaccine as a magic potion.
What about treatments should the vaccines not work? What bout stressing the need for healthy lifestyles?
The main reason that people have fear and concerns is because people like Cline spout this nonsense rather than encouraging the public to listen to the advice of doctors, epidemiologists, and other medical experts, where the consensus is that the vaccine is the best way out of the pandemic.
I would be more concerned about the long term effects of listening to the bishop than any risks of taking the vaccine
please don’t shift your conversation to the vaccine and reframe from starting more issues in the territory and try sit with your bull piss about boycotting establishment
Jesus love U
Damn fool!
God don’t like ugly and that is why Satan working on he behind cause he crack the mirror. Two tongue dummy.
Yes people have rights but employers also have rights to protest their business and also the workers. Some are unable to get vaccinated for medical reasons. With a Doctors not OK but how can a business owner open up knowing that employees may die if they come in contact with COVID victim. Are they irresponsible as a business owner to allow their employees to be at risk. 98.2% of USA covid Deaths last month were unvaccinated. 309M vaccinations and 0.0017% 5023 people died with vaccine complications. I think the risk is greater unvaccinated.
You all keep quoting these Fauci facts. First of all is the USA using Astrazenecca? It is not even approved there. Secondly the USA is made up of numerous states. A better understanding of the statistics should be broken down State by State. Thirdly let us focus on the efficacy of the Astrazennecca in the BVI. CMO needs to release detailed statistics. What is he hiding?
If the businesses care so much for their employees then they should ban all unvaccinated persons from coming into their business? Simple.
I bet you he has already been vaccinated in the U S.
He has his cult following well indoctrinated. They are following him to the letter
