Mr Minister it's disgusting and shameful for you to even talk about a vaccine having endorsed and promoted scientifically untested substances that led to thousands risking their safety and lives . If you say you are a professional you should have tendered your resignation as some of your colleagues who consumed this substance tested positive

First they supply Covid free of charge , then donate vaccines, but you need to pay back in cash and kind for the rest of the doses.
