As vaccine hesitancy persists in Africa and the African Diaspora, with confirmed cases on the rise, we have African sources reporting a new emerging variant of Corona Virus 19. We have seen white religious figures push fear of the vaccines and forbidding people from wearing masks on their property as they seek to test their “God” in some fool hearty show of “faith”, we also have some Black “ministers” jumping on that bandwagon who are not even Christians but claiming to represent Christ talking about “God” told them the vaccines are to depopulate the earth. BTR News takes a look at some of the information coming from African news sources about covid since people are also engaging in “spookism” to make Black people fearful of the vaccines while their dying at higher rates than their white counterparts.
