ANTI-MANDATED INJECTION PROTEST IN BARBADOS
EXTRACTS:
A groundswell of opposition to the COVID-19 vaccines and mandatory inoculation is taking a coordinated form, with activists and religious groups urging boycotts, protest and marches to coincide with similar movements in neighbouring Caribbean territories.
Self-styled social activist Winston Clarke, a Rastafarian group and the Nation of Islam are part of a newly formed coalition to press the authorities against introducing vaccine mandates.
A march, to be held on Saturday has been organized in response to plans by the Mia Mottley administration for possible mandated COVID-19 vaccinations among frontline workers. While members of the Social Partnership at large have expressed their support for regular testing and vaccinations, the topic of vaccine mandates has seen noted push back from a vocal sections of society.
Clarke called for a boycott of stores and restaurants that favour vaccine mandates, claiming his stance was the “majority” opinion.
“Instead of reacting, we need to be proactive,” said Clarke. “If you find that there are businesses that are going against the majority, because we are the majority, we need to maybe boycott some businesses. Businesses like Lionel C. Hill [supermarket], Tides [restaurant], we need to boycott them, and just stop and they will see the error of their ways because we are the majority.”
Clarke further suggested that Saturday’s march, from Pelican Village to Independence Square, is timed to coincide with similar protests in other CARICOM member states against mandatory vaccine legislation....
Emmanuel Beryllia of the Rastafarian Progressive Movement: “The idea is that if you reach a point now in Barbados that if you go against [and] decide you don’t want to be a part of this particular experience which is called the vaccine, same way how people have a right to choose to do it, there are others who have a right to choose not to. If you are going to mandate something that is experimental, which by the way is completely illegal, then it tells us we as a nation are headed in a direction that people need to start paying attention.
“What we are doing is bringing focus to the changes that are coming to the people, and our hope and nothing else is to educate the public. This is not a protest against the Government, this is not anti-anything, we are pro-life, and because we are pro-life, we are taking the choice to preserve life.”
