President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has received a letter from 11 doctors requesting that the statewide vaccine deployment in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic be halted.
According to the experts, the hazards connected with these vaccines outweigh the possible benefits, if any, based on the data gathered thus far.
The doctors, who name themselves Concerned Ghanaian Doctors, wrote a petition on Monday, January 10, 2022, citing how the virus is still a problem in the UK and Israel, despite high vaccination rates in their respective populations.
"These nations have extremely high vaccination rates and are actively implementing booster programs, but they are still battling to control the virus, particularly with these novel varieties," the doctors wrote in the joint plea.
"Assuming we vaccinate more than 50% of our population as a country, will we continue with boosters every 3 to 6 months in an attempt to preserve vaccine-induced immunity for this disease?"
"Where do we go from here if these immunizations don't stop Covid-19 infection or spread?" Is this a financially viable option for us as a country?"
They claimed that the case fatality rate is lower than expected, especially given the low number of citizens who are testing.
Vaccines becoming a mandate, they believe, is simply a gimmick by some pharmaceutical corporations to make money.
"Vaccines are no longer a priority if there is a safe, effective, inexpensive, and publicly available early treatment for Covid-19."
"It doesn't take a genius to see how pharmaceutical companies profit from stigmatizing possible early, successful cures.
"It's fantastic news for humanity's struggle against Covid-19 if these treatments succeed. If they don't work, they are effectively placebos. If it's about health, why are these early treatments being suppressed and demonized?
"Given all of this, wouldn't it be prudent to pause and consider whether these innovative vaccines are indeed necessary?" they questioned.
Ghana, and Africa as a whole, must take the lead in the fight against Covid-19, according to them.

"Even before the vaccines, all relevant indicators reveal that Ghana and Africa as a whole fared better than the rest of the world in terms of the pandemic."
"It's likely that the rest of the world would rather learn from us than from them."
Drs. Timothy Oblijah Armah, Bismark Opoku-Asare, Faisal Adjei, William Ghunney, and Bernard Boateng Adjei are the doctors.
Dr. Doreen Oye Agyei, Dr. Michael Agyemang-Wiredu, Dr. Richard Fayah, and Dr. Sedem Cyril Klinogoh are the others.
Dr. Phil Dowuona and Dr. Emmanuel Awuttey make up the rest of the team.
