COVID-19: HoA Speaker supports ‘mandatory vaccination’ in VI
The Speaker's comments came during the first virtual 10th Sitting of the 3rd Session of the 4th House of Assembly on July 29, 2021, during Announcements to the HoA.
Hon Willock said while he has listened keenly to the national debate about being vaccinated or not, he revealed that his view is that vaccination is the ultimate protection against the COVID-19 virus.
“I speak here for myself to say, I fully support vaccination, as while it cannot prevent you from getting COVID-19, all the research and statistics have proven in a compelling way, that those who are vaccinated have an over 90% chance of surviving the deadly disease.”
View on vaccination is 'personal' - Hon Willock
While expressing condolences to those who lost loved ones as a result of the virus, Hon Willock said further that his view is that if for medical or religious reasons one cannot take the vaccine, that decision must be respected.
“However, I strongly believe, taking the COVID-19 vaccination should be mandatory for all others,” he said.
The Speaker reiterated that his position on mandatory vaccination is personal and is not the view nor policy of the HoA or the Government of the day.
“Two exceptions; medical or religious reasons. If one does not fall in any of those two categories, it is my humble position that taking the vaccine should be mandatory,” Hon Willock reiterated.

But strict rules will encourage vaccination. No jab no job in all occupations. No jab , no travel, etc.
Treating smokers like pariahs has worked to reduce the number killing themselves with nicotine.
We should do the same with the unvaccinated.
Saying you can’t take the vaccine for religious reasons is a cop out. Don’t blame your lack of understanding of science and Public Health initiatives on God.
If a person or a group of persons chose to commit suicide, God will warn them not to, but He will not demand of them to mandatory obey by force.
I urge you Hon. House Speaker not to go any further down this path. Why? Becauss you are wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Stay within your boundary.
Freedom of choice is one of many Godgiven right of man.
Let us continue to encourage people to act wisely, but we should be careful not to overstep our bounds, even in our honest attempt to help save our own, our families, our friends, and, our neighbours lives.

These past 18 months were not as much about covid19, which is nothing more than a bad flue, but about control and reset. Just like the spider who slowly poisons its prey to death, the governments of the world are slowly curtailing the freedoms of their citizens in the name of so called safety. After 18 months of fearmongering, many ppl succumbed but there are still many who refuse to be shackled. We are quickly approaching a tipping point. Once they take your freedom, they won't give it back to you without a fight. And if it comes to that, they always have the highest ground. Better do something about it now, while we still have some freedom. Wake-up, before the dream becomes a nightmare!
A reminder, the Delta variant has not started spreading amongst our population yet, if you think 37 deaths were a lot, God forbid we have to deal with the deaths from Delta. Embrace your loved ones because, if they aren’t vaccinated, your time left to spend with them on this earth could be limited. We just don’t know who will be hit with the dreaded Delta variant. It’s so sad, we could be getting vaccinated to save ourselves, our parents/grandparents, loved ones and friends. Who wants to have to live with the guilt of knowing they could have been the one who spread the virus to an elderly person who depended on us to keep them safe. Check the latest news coming from the USA, they are saturated with the virus and hospitalization and deaths are rising and out of control. Only a matter of time for us.
I hope they don't stop there. Mandatory sunshine quota and meditation hour.
Please ban all corn beef and cheetos and any process food or junk foods from being imported.
Shut down Scatos and tell VQ to stop selling pizza. Ban oil and flour and cheese so the people can't make the junk food.
Tell us all what how to live. What is right and wrong. Who to worship and what to believe. We are just avatars for the beautiful ones.
Just let me have two grammes of soma instead of one.

Take note the man said this is his personal opinion. He is not the government and should not have any influence on their decisions either please stay in your lane I beg you.
Why would we still need a vaxx that:
1 Doesn't stop you from getting it
2. Doesn't stop you from spreading it
Yes, yes, I know , it stops you from dying. Which is excellent except for the fact that THOUSANDS of us have had it and are still alive and well.
When the majority leave you would have to get more ppl to come in to take those jobs
