  3. How exactly are they supposed to work?

    What magic is supposed to happen in Antigua that’s not happening anywhere else?

    These vaccines will not stop transmission in Antigua because they don’t stop transmission.

    There will be no GERD immunity because they don’t confer immunity.

    They may help lower hospitalizations if we ignore all the vaccine injury hospitalizations that they will cause. But even that helpful effect will wear off in 3 to 6 months.

    But Gaston was told to get vaccines into you all so that he will dutifully do.

  5. For those persons who will have to make the difficult choice of taking something into their body that they do not want to IN ORDER NOT TO STARVE AND PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES, remember to REGISTER TO VOTE if you had not and if you are registered, VOTE AGAINST the Labour Party Candidate in your constituency.

    Simple as that.

    Then the A.L.P. will be left out in the cold where they belong.

        • Thank you!
          I’ve been saying this for years. We need to stop being colour blind, and start choosing people. Us as a country need to understand and realize that we are the government and not the politicians. They work for us and not us for them. If we don’t like what this one is doing replace them. N continue to replace until we get what we want and deserve

  7. We don’t need no more vaccine mandates and no more state of emergency and curfew in Antigua and Barbuda! The government just need to free up the people and stop acting like dictators! People are taking the vaccine on their own will so they can get a job easy, if over sixty thousand people get fully vaccinated and they and they don’t lift the state of emergency we will take them to court

    • How soon does it happen after the vaccination? Ask because it may save me from having the expense of a vasectomy. Wife complaining we have too many damn kids (4 so far and we just celebrated the youngest, 2 year birthday, yesterday) and I am tired of losing stuff and having to clean up markers off the wall. By the way I am hearing rumors that since covid, births have increased

  8. And we realize in 15 years most people are sterile?

    I guess we forgot about the South American and Kenyan vaccine campaigns spiked with hCG making women infertile.

    I’m sure these Western elites only want the best for humanity. They never have before. But this time must be different.

  9. Driver’s License, passports, getting insurance coverage etc, will more than like require some form of vaccinated status.

    The question is, the pills which are being approved, and do some of the same things, that these vaccines are doing, will taking a regiment of these pills be the equivalent of being vaccinated?
    Yes, these pills could possibly contain similar chemicals, as the vaccines!

    The business of COVID-19 rolls on like a #Runaway #Bullet #Train!

  11. I am curious to know if Gaston listened to deliberations for the vaccine approval of the 5-11 age group.

    There was a a panel member from the CDC who was asked about herd immunity. His response was (I am paraphrasing), individuals need to be careful about stating a threshold (herd immunity). This is because the vaccines are not as effective because the efficacy wanes, which would require individuals to get boosters, and also, they do not stop the transmission of the virus.

    So Mr. PM, please desist from talking about herd immunity, because there is no such thing. Just be honest and say that there were conditions attached to procure the vaccines, and one such condition was to make the vaccine mandatory.

    • Not to mention children are less likely to get spread or die from the virus. Even so, who they go infect? You already jabbed everybody else.

  12. Instead of wishing for another set of politicians to replace him who may just end up doing the same thing or worse, how about we fast and pray collectively for 3 days and bring our petition to the Most High to intervene. We claim to be a God fearing and God believing nation afterall. I believe if enough of us get into our prayer closets and cry out to the Most High we can see a major shift. Gaston is acting like a Pharaoh. Let’s remind him how God deals with Pharaohs and how he doesn’t take kindly to them..

  13. So do you all think that the number of positive cases dropping DRASTICALLY since the vaccine mandate is a coincidence?

    • Becoming fully vaccinated can take up to 8 weeks. Even if the effects of the vaccine could be felt that soon its strength is reducing the chance of serious illness. This might sound strange but reducing symptoms (possibly to the point of not feeling sick at all) may actually increase transmission because a sick person would not feel like mingling others. Even worse, a “vaccinated” person is not subject to the same scrutiny.

      In fact a study in the UK found that vaccinated people are more efficient at spreading delta. If they feel so strongly about it then why don’t they decrease the quarantine required for vaxxed people after exposure? Can’t do it, cause they’re sitting ducks just like the rest of them.

  15. Human behaviour sucks. I guest we will have to depend on natural herd immunity. “Who Dead Bury” . I was so happy when the vaccines first came out, but I never expects this much hesitancy. I am so disappointed in our people. Human history has shown that the majority rules whether good or bad. The Romans built Rome and they also completely destroy it. We are one of the few species that have the capabilities to self-destruct.

  17. Our population is so polarized as it relates to the vaccine mandate, and that is to be expected. However, the prosecution of the unvaccinated is sickening.

    Your vaccination status is none of my business, and I still interact with ALL regardless of vaccination status. I pray daily for God’s protection and I also do my part in protecting myself.

    It’s funny that vaccinated individuals are prosecuting unvaccinated individuals because they are not adhering to the mandate.

    But, we are the same human beings who can’t obey the commands of God. Daily we sin and fall short of the glory of God. However, God is still there with open arms ready and waiting to forgive and accept us, irrespective of how many times we sin and disregard his commands.

    So, who are we to judge an individual for his/her action, or lack of action, when we can’t even obey the one who created us all?!!

    IF GOD DO NOT HAVE MERCY ON YOU AND BLIND YOU LIKE HE DID SAUL, SO YOU CAN STOP PERSECUTING THE PEOPLE OF THIS LAND FOR YOUR OWN SELFISH GREED… IF YOU DO NOT REPENT AND STOP YOUR MADNESS, AND REMOVE THE COVID VACCINE MANDATE FROM ALL SECTORS INCLUDING SCHOOLS IMMEDIATELY.

    LET ALMIGHTY GOD’S WILL BE DONE IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME.

  19. I believe Persons in possition and companies here in Antigua, can challenge in court and win to remove the Covid vaccine mandate. Companies and indevidual need to stand against it. Stop being afraid! “United We Stand devided we fall!”

  20. The reason for the hesitancy is the man that want mandatory vaccine, he is totally responsible, hiding claiming he took then trying to force, a 5 year old would have done a better job persuading the people than a hypocritical leader

  23. That’s right Gaston just keep applying pressure til they can’t breathe. Remind them what they voted for. Its funny how you were the savior that they needed in 2014 and rather worse in 2018. Look at you now. But no need to worry, they will forgive and forget by next election, just remember to hand out plenty tshirts with money inside and give low skilled jobs to the same people that were let go.

  25. GOD sit high…he looks low…he will intervene at his appointed time….what recompense will they give…
