Let me first give the meaning of the pandemic, pandemic is an epidemic of an infectious diseases that has spread across a large region, for example multiples continents or worldwide, now as we know what is all about, I still remember when WHO did declare Covid-19 as a pandemic, the world was in the panic and experts and no experts were all speculating of what was going to happen and even the religious leaders enter the frame, I can said the situation was muddy.
My point is not about finding who is guilty about this pandemic but I will want to address something here, this pandemic started in China, and how did China deal with about it remain a mystery because there is no much that the Chinese authority are release about the beginning and where did it originated but in small amount of time all the world was in the fire of this pandemic, yes the saying that goes the world is a small village was proven correct by the pandemic Covid-19.
They were people or so called experts whom did said Africa continent will be the most affected of all because of the poor facility of hospitals and the health facility in many African countries are not up to the developpe countries, but they were all wrong because the so called developpe countries were losing people badly and their so called modern hospitals were no longer able to accommodate the sick people and panic and scary moment was all over the place and they was a time no one knew what to do! then the race to vaccine started and we now hearing about the vaccine will be deliver in about short period of times which was done and let me say it is a miracles.
Let me say this again in all of this and which many people died in Europe, America and now India and South America but Africa still have very few number of dead people or sick of Covid-19, expect South Africa and all the experts have no answers to this, I can only said thank you to God all mighty.
The point I want to make is when the vaccine was made to the people, we are now seeing the true character of the human being, then the class has appear again between the rich and the poor countries, because the vaccine became the rare commodity that only the rich countries want to have it and keep it for themselves, first the created what they covax where they said it will accommodate all the poor countries, then people said bravo this is noble thing to do, but wait a moment then the same rich countries whom wanted to support the poor countries went ahead and buy all or most of the vaccines and stock it all in their countries even in some instant they buy more even what they need to have, they did not even hearken to the WHO that equitable distribution of the vaccines to all is essential for the eradication of the pandemic but this rich countries did not hear that and they went ahead got the vaccines for themselves, it is like the race for the vaccines was open and the rich countries have formula 1 cars and poor countries have cart race cars, you will see for yourself the result will not be the same, we know find ourselves that rich countries are now vaccinating kids because they have finish with the vaccination of older people, even some of them are giving money as a way to bring those among them does not what to get the vaccination, when in Africa for example in the time of my writing not even 1% of the population is vaccinated and in Asia also not many have been vaccinated, now we are seeing India being under very sever wave of covid-19 but the rich countries are having stocks of the vaccine that they do not need or used.
there is also the issue of the wave of the vaccines patent that some African countries must used and make the vaccines themselves because most of African still not trusting the vaccines, the history the vaccines with African need to be consider here, and also it must not became the way of making money and making African to be poor again with the selling of the vaccines.
This is what make me to conclude with the Biblical verse from John 13:34, that I will say Christ love for us is not dependent on quality in us that make us lovable. He love us because He is love regardless of our strengths or weaknesses. in same manner I am calling to the rich countries to come to their sense and compassion that make them do covax for poor countries and if the vaccines is the most answer for this pandemic therefore let it be given to all countries a respective of the strengths and weaknesses of the poor countries, that is what Jesus said love your one another, we will not fulfil that when others countries are suffering from the covid-19 and others are busy closing down their borders for others that is not what call love one another and the world is a small village.
For us the overcome the pandemic let us care and love for one another.
take care and see you next time for another opinion
