Africa's are lacking behind when it comes to those that haven't vaccinated, I have received first jab more than a month now when to collect the second jab is not known. The world need to speed up the vaccines rolling out.

How far does his hypocrisy go? His country together with its masters are, successfully up to now, doing their utmost to boycott the vaccine Sputnik V from being used in the so-called Western world! Of note is the fact that the Russian vaccine is among the very best and most effective shot available.

the "vaccines" are not vaccines. The covid scam is what we used to call the flu. now lying politicians and medical people are ruining peoples lives and of course fools want to be the first in line for the shot. these fools apparently don't read world news to discover the number of deaths attributed to the so-called vaccines. Please remove yourself from the gene pool as soon as possible.
