The Bono Regional Deputy Chief Imam, Alhaji Baaba Seidu, has urge Muslims in the region to disregard various conspiracy theories surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines and avail themselves to be vaccinated when the time comes.
This comes after the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the Zongo Development Fund, Alhaji Arafat Suleiman Abdullah, said statistics show people living in the Zongo communities were not taking the Covid-19 vaccination, blaming the development on the myth with the vaccines.
Speaking to the media when he visited Zongo chiefs in Kumasi, he entreated the Zongo community to ignore those ill talks and avail themselves for the vaccination exercise.
But, according to Alhaji Baaba Seidu, just like any other drug has its own side effect, so is the vaccine, and has nothing to do with the conspiracy theories surrounding it.
“Even Chloroquine has its side effect and does not apply to everyone; some take it and react and others do and they are fine, so drugs’ side effects are real and vary on individual basis,” he stressed.
Alhaji is, however, urging his subjects and the Islamic leadership to take up the task of educating the community on the need to avail themselves to be vaccinated.
He said the Islamic doctrine does not go against the COVID-19 vaccination exercise as has been speculated.
