DEAR EDITOR:<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

When I read that His \u00a0Grace, Howard Gregory, The \u00a0Anglican ArchBishop of the West Indies, is encouraging the embrace of \u00a0mandatory vaccinations in the nation\u2019s interest, I concluded that this man of God is not only blessed, \u00a0he is wise.<\/p>\n

Antigua Barbuda and St Vincent and the Grenadines: Your Governments\u2019 \u00a0pioneering effort (defying political gravity (to save the unvaccinated from avoidable sickness and death) \u00a0 are examples worthy of emulation by states women and men, everywhere.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

God\u2019s speed be with you. May your \u00a0examples serve as guiding lights to other leaders, as the Caribbean navigates the uncharted and treacherous \u00a0waters being churned by this \u00a0disabling and deadly virus.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Walk good and see the report of His Grace\u2019s endorsement of the vaccination mandate \u00a0 in the link below.<\/p>\n
