Wonder what kind of tea you all drinking maybe brainwashed tea ?
Many persons living in the B.V.I have left their fate in the hands of luck. Others have placed theirs in the hands of chance. Others have took vaccines jabs, while others have placed theirs in God. And others are confused as to what to do.
It is à fact the everyone will not come down with the covid-19 virus, but no know for sure who will. Because of this fact each person should be concern about themself, and their neighbour's wellbeing. But in the B.V.I this is saddle not the case
As I see it anti-covid-19 virus vaccines do have a favourable impact against the covid-19 virus. Many others see it differently. That tells me the magnitude of the of our current situation in reference to the covid-19 virus issue, among other harmful issues.
Knowing what I now know about our random mentalities on various that affect our daily lives negatively, I conclude that without God's Ovine guidance, the wood the we are now in will soon become a jungle, because of disunity, and the love for individualism. However, wisdom says to us fight on, because because if we fight on, way may survive as a people, if we don't, the covid-19 virus will mingle us in history dust speedily. "Winner don't quit fighting to win, because quitting is not an option. It was not one yesterday. It is not one this day nor will it be one in the future. But before the future comes, let presently us do whatever is possible to help protect our best interest now for us, our children, and Grand children's future.

Finger pointing and speaking evil of vaxxers will not change the fact that the overwhelming number of those that died worldwide, and the 37 nonvaxxers that died in the B.V.I is a myth.
Continue denying fact will not be able to fend off the deadly covid-19 virus pandemic from overwhelming the unprotected. It ok if you play a game of sports and lose the gsme, You will live to play again, if no deadly injuries accure, but the covid-19 virus is not a game of sport. It is s kejjer virus. Be careful, both actions and inactions could deadly. Ok VG man.
those that lack genuine science base knowledge will freely join with you in this baseless campaign, that leads to the destination of the dead. While the anti-covid-19 virus vaccines are not a perfect remedy against the covid-19 virus, they are overwhelmingly superior in comparison to you nonvaxxers gobble, gobble continuous ranting.
