‘I will not allow anybody to force me’ to get vaccinated – Hon Flax-Charles
The Jr Minister made the revelation at last night’s April 6, 2021, radio show 'VIP Let's Talk' on ZBVI 780 AM when responding to a caller who had asked whether or not, Hon Falx-Charles has been vaccinated with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
“I would say to you that, that is an individual choice and they are reasons why persons may not be able to take a vaccine. I would say very clearly here tonight, it is a private decision of anyone, but I will also say that there are issues surrounding the fact why I have not been able to take the vaccine yet,” Hon Falx-Charles said in response.
She said while she has every intention to get vaccinated, being forced to do so under her current circumstances is not an option on the table.
Will not be being forced to take Vaccine - Hon Flax-Charles
“I do intend to take it; however, I will not allow anyone or anybody to force me to do so until it is clear that the repercussions will be in my favour health-wise. It is a choice, but we also have to look at all of the issues surrounding persons taking the vaccine,” the Jr Minister said.
She said while some persons including her father were able to get vaccinated with no effects, other people have had challenges and that a percentage of people may not be able to get the vaccine at all based on advice from their health provider.
“So what I would say to persons [is] if you're sceptical check it out. I take the flu shot every single year and I have not had a major issue,” she said.
“The choice is yours to make [in] the general public, but I would recommend that persons take it, and I do intend to take it, but at this time it is not possible,” she said.
The government has been pleading with the population to get vaccinated so the territory can achieve herd immunity and return to a pre-COVID era.

Busy talking about if someone decides to not take it how it affects those who have taken it ...WELL SOMEONE’S DECISION TO TAKE IT COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT THEIR HEALTH AND AT THE END OF THE DAY IT’S THEIR CHOICE!!!
Some people’s brains too big and always trying to push their viewpoint on others.
RUNNING THEIR MOUTHS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, LIVING WORLDLY AND NOT FOLLOWING GOD’S LAWS ALL NEGATIVELY AFFECTS THE POPULATION. GENERATIONAL CURSES HAVE BEEN NEGATIVELY AFFECTING PEOPLE FOR YEARS BUT THEY REFUSE TO SEE THAT FACT AND MAKE GODLY CHANGES TO BREAK IT.
Vaxzevria (formerly AstraZeneca) is not permanent immunity and may likely have to be given every year so talk to the scientists about how this vaccine is linked to blood clots, deaths and their is an ongoing investigation to determine if in fact it is the cause.

God is jealous that you all is bigging up the vaccine and not him. Let promote GODS heaĺing through prayer. There is power in our tounge through prayer by calling on God.
That's the whole point why should you get the vaccine if you don't know what is inside of it..put your trust in GOD n fear no man or anything on this earth..you rather trust MAN with a vaccine that get made in couple of hours or days not even years and by u looking away just to take the vaccine none of that sh** makes no sense..setta fools we living round boii...Pray To GOD To Give You More Wisdom!!
The woman says she has no problem to take the Vax.
She went to do it several times and was not allowed to do so at this time.
“I do intend to take it; however, I will not allow anyone or anybody to force me to do so until it is clear that the repercussions will be in my favour health-wise. It is a choice, but we also have to look at all of the issues surrounding persons taking the vaccine,” the Jr Minister said.
Why our health facilities are so poor, when the BVI made so much revenue from 1990 to 2009 or so, is a question for the CoI hopefully.
The hate in this country is real.
Zann Lewis ask her these questions on VIP radio last night and he says that he knows that Hon. Flax has not taken the vax for sure. How would he know this? There is no Doctor patient confidentiality in this country. He was directed by some one to bring forward these questions.
Maybe from the outside or the inside. I only hope we could learn to agree to disagree and don’t hate. We can still look after each other.
The lady has issues to take the vax. Read the article it’s right there. It’s just not the right time for her yet.
If an election was to call today you will be head of the game. You stood for yourself and I think many others.
Why should you jeopardise your health ? You are a representative but you are a person with rights and a family.
Do not become a martyr .
Any vaccination obligation is now illegal by default The Council of Europe (not to be confused with the EU), to which all European states except Belarus, Kosovo and the Vatican belong and which is the sponsor of the European Court of Human Rights, ruled on January 27, 2021 in its resolution 2361/2021, among other things, that no one can be vaccinated against their will, under pressure. The 47 Member States are invited to report before vaccination that vaccination is not compulsory and that unvaccinated people should not be discriminated against. Discrimination is also expressly prohibited where there are existing health risks or if a person does not wish to be vaccinated. Vaccine manufacturers are required to publish all information on vaccine safety. With this resolution, the largest human rights organization in Europe has now set standards and obligations, as well as created guidelines under international law, which must be applied by all 47 member states, including including the EU as an organization. Discrimination, for example in the workplace or travel bans for unvaccinated people, are therefore legally excluded. In any legal proceeding, against any authority, any employer, any travel supplier, any housekeeper, etc. https://pace.coe.int/pdf/2e0ee40b5d6c4e2e5df5467478961f7561e651733326667a8259ffe25682ae848428feba12/resolution%202361.pdf
To ask her to set an example that may endanger her life and health is unconscionable. You people in the bvi are haters. So sad as I love my bvi. She is serving by telling you to educate and then vaccinate
This vaccine does not stop the spread of COVID it only reduces your chance of getting seriously ill. people really want to believe the lie that if you vaccinate COVID will go away forever and life will be back to normal. Please read and do your research.
In an effort to curb the further spread of coronavirus, authorities have decided to scale back the opening hours of nightlife businesses from the current 4:00am to midnight.
This will go into effect as of Wednesday, April 14, Minister of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Transportation and Telecommunication (TEATT) Ludmila de Weever announced moments ago during the live Council of Ministers press briefing.
