You are Christians, and your God shall take care of your family!”
That’s what Vietnamese authorities told 18 Christian families in northern Vietnam after denying them COVID-19 aid, according to Open Doors USA.
Government aid was supposed to help families hit hardest by the pandemic. But not, it seems, those families who were Christian. Open Doors reports, “When they learned that the government’s support was coming to their district, they were so happy—only to find out that they were not on the list because they are Christians.”
Recent coronavirus outbreaks have led Vietnam to impose harsher restrictions to protect the health of citizens. But COVID-19 has also enabled the socialist government to ramp up its persecution of Christians.
The sad story of one Christian congregation in Ho Chi Minh City shows just how willing the government is to blame Christians for COVID-19.
In late May, a couple who attended a meeting of the Revival Ekklesia Mission (REM) tested positive for COVID-19. Even though only seven people attended the meeting where the couple allegedly contracted the virus, the Ho Chi Minh Center for Disease Control claimed that 200,000 residents in 16 districts were connected with the cluster.
This exaggeration gave the government a pretext to intervene.
On May 30, the government suspended the church’s registration and placed the group under criminal investigation. The deputy minister of Home Affairs went so far as to tell REM that if the group committed serious violations, REM may suffer “permanent erasure”. All religious gatherings in Ho Chi Minh City have since been prohibited.

Funny, the US government uses it to crack down on conservatives…
Proving you can’t trust communists, which Vietnam still is. This is what the Democrat communists have planned for us. They think we can spend our way out of trouble, which is the opposite of true. I just read an article over at Daily Wire, ‘Schumer, Pelosi Bash Republicans For Saying They Won’t Vote To Raise Debt Ceiling’, which you can find there, so give that a look. And importing low IQ people to use out resources and take our jobs (or live off of us) isn’t a bright idea either. This covid thing has never been about health, it is about the left (all over the globe) grabbing power.
All a part of the plan. The alt-far-left needed an excuse and when one didn’t come along the communist Chinese created one in a lab.
Please restrict COVID-19 vaccines from Vietnam!
I don’t know about this story, but I will just say Vietnam is (very) short of Covid vaccines. Really.
Only around 10% of the total population has received even one vaccine yet.
Just 10%. The total proportion of the population to receive two, is just one percent so far.
And I think just Vietnamese citizens, will get the lowest price. That is actually what you are saying, because I think of all the countries in the entire world, Vietnam is in the top three, about how serious they are about vaccinating everyone.
Really. Now can someone please send some vaccines to Vietnam?
Thank you. :)

Sorry.
I just read the shot is free, for all people. At least that is what they are saying on a local (English-language) board here in Vietnam.
