I am already vaccinated so ayo go ahead and play with your life and those herbal media rats telling ayo to drink juice hahahahaha. Any kind of herbs tea good but if you have not been conditioning your body from young with that, don't expect a bottle or two will do it for you.
I ain't no doctor but you being delusional!
Take a look at countries that have quarantine regulations for vaccinated AND unvaccinated. They’re doing so well!!
WHY ARENT WE PROTECTING OUR PEOPLE????
People who are infected can take the shots after 20 days when their viral load goes down, depending upon their health conditions.
First dose provides you 70 to 80 percentage of better chance to survive the infection and the second dose gives you 90 to 95 percentage of immunity from the infection.
The vaccine does not prevents you from infection but it gives your body an opportunity to fight the infection in abetter way. Check the records there are almost nil cases who died of covid after vaccination.
So please do not discourage people who wish to get vaccinated VI doesn't has the medical facility to take all the population in. You don't wish to take the jab then please do not talk about it and propagate it, let people make their choices to keep themselves and the territory safe.
BVI experiencing its first wave of Covid now, but in two or three months there will be a second and a third. This will continue until we have herd immunity (everyone vaccinated or already caught it). The second wave could be worse than the first and looking at the numbers I think we should brace ourselves for about 40 deaths in this first wave.
