First Vaccinations Begin in Africa for COVID-19 Trial

Africa's first participation in a COVID-19 vaccine trial started Wednesday as nervous volunteers received injections, while officials said the continent of 1.3 billion people cannot be left behind.

The large-scale trial of the vaccine developed at the University of Oxford in Britain is being conducted in South Africa, Britain and Brazil. South Africa has nearly one-third of Africa's confirmed cases with more than 106,000, including more than 2,100 deaths. The country late Tuesday reported its biggest one-day death toll of 111.

“I feel a little bit scared but I want to know what is going on with this vaccine so that I can tell my friends and others what is going on with the study," one of the vaccine trial volunteers, Junior Mhlongo, said in Johannesburg.

The African continent now has nearly 325,000 cases as countries loosen restrictions under economic pressure from citizens who say they have to feed their families. Shortages of testing materials and medical supplies remain a problem as Africa could become the world’s next hot spot.

The pandemic was delayed in Africa “but is picking up speed very quickly,” the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention chief John Nkengasong said Wednesday, with a steep increase in the number of cases and deaths.

Oh,so they’re trying it out on black people first. I guess black lives matter when testing new drugs.

The vaccine industry is evil pure evil

The vaccine industry is over $100 billion a year now and they have over 200 vaccines that they would love to get your government to force you to take

There is no regulation of the vaccine industry or their adjuncts or anything that’s in that syringe that they’re putting in your body

The tread on the reputation of Jonas Salk as their justification

Vaccines don’t work and they cause more harm than good in many many cases

There’s a huge huge profit motive behind the vaccine industry you can’t even imagine how big it is now

Don’t ever ever ever let anyone inject you with anything - got it?

I’ve concluded that the mandatory mask requirement in many states is really a way to condition us into submitting to a “vaccine” when they make that mandatory as well.
