ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Some 24 COVID-19 positive cases were detected in VI’s Public Schools after 1,400 COVID-19 tests were administered during a school testing regime.

This is according to Deputy Premier and Minister Education, Culture, Youth Affairs, Fisheries and Agriculture, Dr. the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) who revealed the stats during an interview with 284 Media on Friday, February 11, 2022. 

The Minister said that the testing regime represents the majority of public schools except for schools that were closed, and added that of the 24 initial cases, these would have gone on to test using the more accurate PCR testing with the stats still forthcoming.  

“I’m very happy with the work of the teachers, staff, all of the persons who trained them… those parents who consented to have their children tested and the students themselves,” Hon Wheatley said.

The Minister pointed out that the testing will help to prevent the spread of the virus through screening at the schools and he noted that there are already screening measures in place at hospitals, airports, and ferry terminals while reminding persons that safety comes first.

3 New Deaths

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health and Social Development on Thursday, February 10, 2022, reported three additional COVID-19 related deaths, which brings the number of deaths in the Territory to 61.

The deceased are a 91-year-old female and an 82-year-old male who died on February 6 and an 87-year old female who died on February 8.

        The real reason for cause of death should be given and recorded. How in the world do they expect to fight Covid if they don't really know what is going on with these people that are dying of the so called Covid. Are they even trying to find out if there are similarities in the deaths or complications with the medications they are administering?

    People have to wake up and see with their own eyes. Your in a house with four people even more and no one was getting covid or dying until the vaccine came. When have people ever saw all these young and old people dying from underline sickness ever? Think about how many r.i.p do you see on Facebook and other media from all families all over the world saying,friends, family,etc died. I've never seen so many. People are still not putting the puzzle together it's like you love to be deceived

      Can’t save everyone, if you talk to them and show them what’s up and they don’t wanna see then just let them have their fate. Not all of us are born with eyes to see

      Unfortunately there's a lot more to come...

      “They have AIDS. But it’s not HIV-induced AIDS,” said Zelenko.
      “HIV damages your killer T cells and weakens your immune system. So, that syndrome is called AIDS. But there are other things that damage your immune system.”

      “By taking a shot that damages your natural killer T cells, damages your tumor suppressor genes, what’s happening is your innate immune system is getting shot,” he continued.

      Zelenko then explained that this “vaccine-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome” is the reason that he and many other doctors have seen a massive surge in debilitating illnesses like cancer, autoimmune diseases and other “opportunistic infections” and conditions like heart attacks, strokes and miscarriages in people who took the COVID vaccine"

      @Targeting my dear, it's a secret set-up to get the poor children vaccinated. What gets me angry is not ONE member of this government stands up and speaks out against this evil agenda for want of keeping their jobs. They should take a page out of Senator Ran Paul and Senator Ted Cruz' book in America. They are speaking up against evil.

      Hon. Wheatley, when are you going to take those masks of those poor children's faces?

    Everything is documented a comprehensive plan of action they say. Sign away our rights and now subjects of experimental mayhem. Bit by bit they chew away at our God-given rights and now they want our children. It's going to be a bumpy ride into 2025 -2030, changes to our way of life as we move forward into the 4th Industrial revolution, where we merge digital with real life and man with machine. These mandate and push to inject substance with unknown ingredients. This is another ploy in moving forward to get the children. For those who have an open mind, do you feel any safer after receiving you 3 dose of a miracle. Please comment below and hit the like button....
