BAUGHER'S BAY, Tortola, VI – Local clergyman and host of the 'Honestly Speaking' radio programme, Mr Claude O. Skelton-Cline says he wants to be one of the first persons in the Virgin Islands (VI) to receive the COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available in the territory.

Mr Skelton-Cline's commitment came just weeks after he urged residents to stop being fearful of the jab, assuring citizens that talks about 'mark of the beast' is nonsense.

First in line for vaccine – Skelton-Cline

“I want to tell you, I want to be one of the first in line to take this vaccination,” he said on the Tuesday, December 8, 2020, edition of his Honestly Speaking Show on ZBVI 780am. 

“The UK started… their vaccination program and so that's a good sign. I am trusting that our government of course, is putting a plan in place to vaccinate this country once these vaccinations are made available,” he said.

According to the man of the cloth, so far, he has done research on the various versions of the vaccines include ones made by pharmaceutical companies like Maderna and Pfizer and the possible side effects.

“I am unafraid… I've taken every other kind of vaccine, I'm going to take this one too so that we can be safe, so that my family and my friends, my church members and all that I come in contact with can be safe,” he said.

VI secured two sources of vaccines – Hon Malone 

On Monday, December 7, 2020, Minister for Health and Social Development, Hon Carvin Malone (AL) said the territory has so far secured two sources of the COVID-19 vaccine to be administered to the populace.

“The United Kingdom (UK) has indicated that they will procure approved vaccines for the population of this territory, in addition, the territory has signed onto WHO/PAHO [and] COVAX which guarantees access to the vaccines, to participating countries,” he said.

    You realize that there’s always one person in every country that has to go the extra length to try to prove that the vaccine is safe ? These are your puppets who will be taking the false shots.

        Covid 19 is not “a flu” and the flu is not a cold, and there is “nothing but” about Covid 19.
        While many, perhaps most may not get seriously ill from it, it can cause serious illness and complications in our older people, and people with underlying medical issues, including death. After what Irma did to the older BVIslander population, it would be tragic to lose more elders before their time, because some self centered people wouldn’t take a vaccine.

    CSC: The UK is racist with their foot on the necks of V. Islanders.

    Also CSC: I'm gonna be first in line for the vaccine because the UK says it's okay.

    Meanwhile in Australia: Covid vaccine trails haulted after patients returns 'false' positive results for HIV.

    There's a prominent doctor the UK writing to European medical boards asking for more research to be done and vaccine dessiminstion to be cease in the mean time. He says the vaccine can program cells to create a protein which prevents the placenta from properly forming in mammals, including humans. This can cause infertility in women. Fact checkers labelled his blog as misinformation because he used the word sterile instead of infertile. A tecnicality but the results are the same, no children for you.

    For a long time, it has been the goal of the elites of the world to cull the human population. Small ignorant populations are easier to control than large ones. Large, restless populations are more likely to riot and spark a revolution when they feel abused.

    What people like CSC fail to realise is that only a few opposers of this whole Covid situations are paranoid and worried about the mark of the beast and 5G. The rest of us are truly frustrated because clearly we've been lied to from the beginning. We've been denied information and we've been censored through out this whole ordeal and it's ridiculous! Our rights have been violated in the name of our own good and the good of society! Medical professionals and researchers have been censored from giving the population their conclusions based on their experiences and knowledge. Their money was legitimate when it came time for them to go to medical school. Their degrees were legitimate up until they started applying knowledge to defy the narrative being spun. Now only a handful of people in the world knows what's going on and were supposed to go along with everything we are we are being told without question.

    We are living in an Orwellian nightmare and those of us who are wide awake are being told to go back to sleep.

    A small number of Covid-19 vaccines have been developed, and many more are in development. None thst have been developed are 100%. Some more effective than others. A company in The UK and one in Russia plan to join force in vaccines venture to fight the Covid-19 virus. I hope that sooner rather than later an effective or effectives vaccines will be develop and distrubuted throughout the world.
    There are much exageration and lies being spread about Covid-19 vaccines, that it is the Mark of the Beast prophesied in the Bible Book of Revelations. The truth is that the Bible teaches the the Beast prophesied in Revelation is a man, nota virus vaccine, as many love lies gullible christians believe, and spreading fear tactics against good efforts by vaccines developers to help save lives. If scientist really want to kill many people with a killer vaccines, as many ignorant persons believe, all they wiil need to do is inject the killer medicines into our food supplies and regular medicines that we intake daily. God uses even unblievers to do good, sometimes for His glory, honor, and praise. This is the infallible truth. Whether you chose to believe, or you don't. Amen.
