Antigua signs MOU with Chinese hospital for cancer vaccine

27

CMC- Health Minister, Sir Molwyn Joseph, says Antigua and Barbuda could become the first country in the Caribbean to offer a cancer prevention vaccine after it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a hospital in China last week.

Molwyn, who was part of the Antigua and Barbuda delegation that was headed by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, told reporters on his return here Monday evening that the vaccine could become a reality within two years.

“What excited me in China was the opportunity to learn more of what is already there in terms of science and technology in dealing with so many of the diseases that are taking the lives of Antiguans and Barbudans, such as diabetes,” he told reporters.

“I was blown away when we visited a hospital and we were able to see a piece of equipment that not only diagnosed the patient at the end stage of the disease, but it is an equipment that can forecast the disease.”

He described the Chinese approach to health care was very revealing and “they have the equipment that gives them that capacity, not only for diabetes but for cancer screening.

“There is a new technology which we were fully exposed to, where dealing with cancer would be like dealing with a vaccine. They are saying that they are working on a vaccine that can prevent cancer.

“Can you imagine that, but not only that, but they are developing the technology to give your body the ability to fight cancers and that technology according to the scientists is about two years away from maturing and we here in Antigua and Barbuda will have the opportunity to be first in line for that technology that can be shared with the rest of the Caribbean,” he added.

    • And add to that @ Chubblesum, that Molwyn Joseph continues with his dangerous march towards political Democide on the innocent citizens of Antigua & Barbuda.

      Instead of looking at the causes of access deaths and the rise in cancers, he’s now miraculously pushing a cancer vaccine. Wow, you couldn’t make this up if you tried!

      Remind you of anything similar in recent times?

      We witnessed it with the implementation of the damaging Covid-19 AstraZeneca vaccine; that has caused mayhem after many people trusted what Joseph told them about AstraZeneca being safe.

      PRISON AWAITS …

      • This is unconscionable and outrageous! What exactly does this mean? An MOU has been signed to use the citizens of Antigua and Barbuda in the uncharted waters of a Chinese experiment – WHAT WILL BE NEXT? AWAKE … MY SLEEPING COUNTRY!!! By the way, germane to this most vexing development, let me be the first in line to say an unequivocal NO!!!

        • @Charlesworth Browne. Well said but now that you have seen how dangerous your govt has become, hope you are, “ready fu vote again”; and this time, do it right.

        • @Bishop Charlesworth Browne…

          The Art of War is shadowed by, The Art of Deception!

          Better late, than never; but, the Chinese Trojan_Horse has already docked on our shores, the soldiers are already in place, and all they’re gonna do is follower orders, just like many had to do during the COVID-19 PLANDEMIC.

          The American President is already sounding the alarm bells on another PLANDEMIC, in the not too distant future!

          The chemicals being used in these #VACCINES can be administered, in various ways! One such way is through the FOOD CHAIN which the Chinese are already in control of.

          It’s not by mistake, the likes of Gaston and Chet have began their own food production facilities. It’s by #design!

          Regardless, of #WHO’RE in the Parliament or #WHO’RE the Members of the Cabinet, they’ve all being compromised by the BRANDS of RELIGION.

  1. Good news please mandate it to save our citizens lives! This time our leaders need to lead by example so our citizens will not be fearful of this safe vax

    Does Molwyn take Antiguans for fools? I cannot believe what I just read. How did this man become the Health Minister? This man keeps making statements without providing any scientific data to prove what he is saying.

    A vaccine that can prevent cancer? Will that be for breast, prostate, or skin cancer?

    “I was blown away..” Yes, he should have been completely and totally obliterated to dust and scattered to the four winds, and not even a quark of his former essence should remain.

  3. Yes. Great. Let’s have the entire cabinet take this vaccine then check the rest of us in 5 years once we’re sure there are no adverse effects. If all of them dead off in the interim, oh well. #RedDEAD.

    • Totally agree, mek all ah dem line up on their favourite media channel ABS. Then allow benfoot (opps, sorry Burford) to interview them live whilst the vaccine is administered to them.

      BOX OFFICE VIEWING @ IG …

  4. What have they been promised to force this vaccine on us? They have been intrigued by the spin-off from the covid vaccine so why not keep going! Look out for one that should make us all think like their Useful Idiots .

  5. Even if they were seen publicly taking a Vaccine.How would we know that it is the same Vaccine.I do not believed one damn thing coming from Gaston and Molwyn.

  6. Y’all are like sheep that are lead to the slaughter…Antigua is doomed with this current administration, plain and simple.

    These leaders in Antigua are dangerous, and it’s up to you the people to stop their foolishness, but then again, you reap what you sow.

  7. Molwyn Joseph will never learn! Never!
    He really thinks anyone care about what his geriatric self has to say. Any stupidness impress him and he know the most how information is to be handled….not!
    He is such a hurry to be the first in ebryting, that none of three things did dawn on him:

    1. He ain’t no medical doctor ( we can’t even be sure that he even has average IQ or good short term memory )
    2. The public is not interested in hearing about no vaccine so soon after a quid pro quo to get that woman in Paho and now every other day, 30 and 40yr olds dying just so. Before the diagnosis of heart myopathy or cancer sink in, it’s 123 dead.
    3. Michael Joseph is no oncology pharmacist, so who advised them before all of these MOU were signed in China ? And why didn’t that person be the one to break the news about the vaccine and about the AI for cancer prevention and detection?

    He is dumb dumber and dumbest, but don’t tell him I say.

    • Well said @ DDD, Antiguans have long awaken to what happened when a drug was forced upon us, and many of our family and friends succumbed (and some died), because Ministerial cabinet members were untruth to them.

      How the saying go again Molwyn:

      “Once bitten twice shy”…

      PRISON CALLING MANY OF THEM SOON!

  8. Did I hear that the “first world” was administering this vaccine? Of course not. Molwyn and his leader have never seen a new drug or unprovable technology that they don’t want to experiment on Antiguans. Do we ever hear of this foolishness coming out of any other Caribbean country? Now we all get old, docile and slow if we live long enough. But should this type of individual be making any decisions which can effect the peoples lives? Don’t you think that if there was a vaccine that could prevent cancer the whole world would know about it?
    People, let us just keep the mad man and this health minister in
    office and see what happens to the country.

    • We wish we could all get old …. we deading young partna
      I don’t know who made molwyn think a vaccine is a great idea. Didn’t they learn from covid? Now they sign on we to be guinea pigs ?
      He should have had those in the know conduct some educational sessions with the country b4 signing any mou. Next thing we know, we go to slbmc for an Xray, and get a scratch on our arm and don’t realize we are getting the chemical +/- being enrolled in a study.
      Where are those who police ethics in medicine?

      • This is a step too far!

        Have Antiguans been signed up – AGAIN -sacrificial lambs by the ABLP Health Minister Molwyn Joseph?

        And indeed how money is involved between the Chinese and this government?

        Because there is no such thing as a free lunch!

  9. I hope China tries the vaccine on its populace first, before experimenting on third-world countries as they refer to us here in the Caribbean.

  10. Free screenings one a year, low cost on vegetables and proteins that are needed for the body to repair its cells are things that we must focus on not another vaccine. Please stop trying to use vaccines for everything instead of helping the citizens of Antigua and Barbuda to having healthier lifestyles through low cost vegetation.

  11. Just a reminder.When the people of Antigua and Barbuda were taking Vaccines for Covid-19 from all around the World.Gaston Browne and his High Society Friends were taking the Moderna Vaccines.That Doctor from Pennsylvania signed off on those Vaccines Certificates.
