Without any doubt, the bombshell event in the closing
week was the announcement by Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, that as from
mid-September people would not be permitted to attend Church services unless
they were….VACCINATED! For good measure,
he assured that detailed arrangement has been concluded with security forces to
ensure full and diligent implementation of this “measure”.
This development is not only earth-shaking for the
world of environment-health, but simply for every sphere of living in Nigeria.
First, it should be clear that this is not just an “Edo
State” issue. The globalists who wrote
the scripts for Mr Governor in Edo, undoubtedly have similar scripts drafted for
several other states in the Federation. They are simply testing the waters with
Edo State. Some of our readers may recall that together with some of our
coalition partners, LivingScience submitted
a Memorandum to the House of Representative in June last year, warning that the
“spirit of mandatory vaccination” permeated the Bill they were considering at
that time (HB 836), in its entirety. Many people thought we were being
over-dramatic and that the idea was rather far-fetched. Now the jury is in. What the globalists couldn’t achieve at the
legislature, they are attempting to push in through the executive arm of
government.
People need to understand that mandating mRNA-based
vaccine as a condition for joining a Church meeting is not in the same league
as requiring people to use masks or social-distance. These are external measures that essentially
do not much harm – other than conditioning us for unquestionable obedience to even
unsound and unproven totally opaque instructions as are thrown down at us. As we wrote before, the annoying (and grossly
unscientific) point here is that these measures are glossed over in other
situations, but emphatically and rigorously emphasized for churches, creating
the subtle impression that the Church is a special place for catching diseases
rather than receiving reliefs. Thus the
Pastor is required to turn back people who came to Church without masks, even
if those people had spent the previous hours in crowded classes or
marketplaces, without masks; and probably came to Church using crowded public
transportation!
But masking is still a reversible external
action. Vaccination is internal and it
is irreversible! It cannot therefore be
lightly mandated. And as we have
documented in this column over the weeks, the products being mandated have big
questions on the critical issues of safety and efficacy. Furthermore being authorized only for
Emergency or Investigational/Experimental Use, they cannot be lawfully
mandated.
There is an even more basic question here. Even if all Christians in Edo decide to go
get a jab, does Mr Obaseki have enough dose for over two million people that
would be asking for it, in the space of barely 2 weeks? If you concluded that the measure announced
by Mr Governor was not well thought-through, and is disdainful to the citizens,
you wouldn’t be far from the truth!
PS. Meanwhile,
you are cordially invited to join our proposed national Press Conference to
challenge the move by Governor Godwin Obaseki.
The Conference which is being organized together with other groups in a
Coalition we belong to, will hold in Lagos early next week, and will be
streamed online via Zoom. The link will
be sent to all our Partners. Please pray
along with us!
