Urgent need to desist from conspiracy theories and to support the envisaged vaccination effort

It is all, understandable. It is surely, not one of the conspiracy theories about Bill Gates wanting to kill all of Africa by instrument of a COVID19 vaccine, which I think, is a load of compost. Frankly, I doubt it has anything to do with politics, either. These are genuine concerns from people who are concerned about their lives, and to whom, an effective vaccine is a matter of life and death.  In this day, and age, information is widely available, and a lot of skeptical commentary abounds on effectiveness of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Honestly, I would also be happier with a vaccine that has a higher efficiency rating. I however know, that such vaccines are not necessarily there for the asking, even if we may have the money to purchase same. So, I will believe that our government’s choice of the vaccine was based on sound judgment, having factored in all other considerations especially as to availability, and the exigencies of the moment.
