Congo Becomes First African Country To Accept Coronavirus Vaccine Testing by Apeshy101(m): 1:20pm On Apr 04, 2020 |
An Official of the Democratic Republic Of Congo has expressed the country’s readiness to participate in corona virus vaccine testing, becoming the first African country to do so. Jean-Jacques Muyembe, head of the National Biological Institute had during briefing to newsmen said, “We’ve been chosen to conduct these tests,” Muyembe further said, “The vaccine will be produced in the United States, or in Canada, or in China. We’re candidates for doing the testing here,” “At some point, COVID-19 will be uncontrollable,” “The only way to control it will be a vaccine, just like Ebola. It was a vaccine that helped us end the Ebola epidemic.” Muyember’s comments has since sparked outrage on social media outlets with many describing the statement as ascribing the country’s population as “guinea pigs” for testing vaccine. This is coming after a controversial video of two French countries suggesting that Africa should be used during the vaccine testing period. “If I can be provocative,” responded Jean-Paul Mira, head of intensive care at Cochin Hospital in Paris, “shouldn’t we be doing this study in Africa, where there are no masks, no treatments, no resuscitation?” “A bit like as it is done elsewhere for some studies on AIDS,” the doctor added, according to the report. “In prostitutes, we try things because we know that they are highly exposed and that they do not protect themselves.” Mira had earlier suggested that the study might not work as planned on health care workers in Europe and Australia, because they have access to personal protective equipment, guarding them from the contagion This suggestion by the French Doctors didn’t go down well as many tagged them racists and shortly after, #AfricansAreNotLabRats trended on Twitter. Didier Drogba wrote: “It is totally inconceivable we keep on cautioning this,”“Africa isn’t a testing lab. I would like to vividly denounce those demeaning, false and most of all deeply racist words.” Dennis Kiplimo @_itshark wrote: It makes no sense to start testing vaccines in a continent with just 7k+ cases, leaving behind their countries. Africa is not a lab and we are not Guinea pigs! Let them test their vaccines there. Sadly, our leaders are dumb enough to allow them. #AfricansAreNotLabRats ‘Tunde Omotoye @TundeTASH : It is very sad that as the world battles this pandemic, some shallow minded doctors in France believe the cure for the virus should first be tested in Africa. Racism just always rare its ugly head. #AfricansAreNotGuineaPigs #AfricansAreNotLabRats OMO NAIJA Crown @Cele__Audu: Whatever is best for humanity is not meant for Africans, whatever is not favorable and detrimental is meant for Africans. Super sad how low these People rate Africans. #AfricansAreNotLabRats Former Cameroon’s international Samuel Eto’o also joined the protest via instagram, he wrote, “Africa is not your playing ground,” https://www.news9naija.com.ng/2020/04/04/congo-becomes-first-african-country-to-accept-vaccine-testing/ 1 Like

I'm sure france influenced their neo-colonies in africa to accept the idea of serving as in-vivo test samples for covid-19 vaccines. The worst colonial masters are the belgians then french. England remains the best. This is however not supporting colonialism but former english colonies can't be subjugated into this form of slavery. 1 Like |

They have been handsomely paid. But the companies that want to test the Coronavirus vaccine in Congo haven't done their due diligence. The result may not be transferrable to other ethnic groups. |

A country colonised by Belgium. Congo has seen it all so they ar not afraid of anything, a country that survived Ebola can survive anything. No gudnews has ever come out of Congo, the last news that came out of Congo was Ebola news. Anyway the world looses nothing if it loose Congo. Congo is just a waste of world landmass. Education= 0 Technology= 0 Science =0 Human development = 0 Football = 0 Other Sports= 0 Banking = 0 Good Leadership=0 Military Might = 0 Industry= 0 At least they should be useful to the world for once by accepting to be covid19 vaccine testing lab. I only want the vaccine testing to start with the Congo president nd his family, together with his top govt officials nd their families 9 Likes |

Imagine! Indeed African leaders prefer to live like a slave. I watch a video this morning where French doctor were discussing where to test their vaccine. And they decided to come do that in Africa. Now Congo has accepted a vaccine that has not recorded any success history in wherever they are bringing it from. All is well Sha |

I think other African countries should start shunning Congo. This is how HIV was brought to Africa through this same Congo! Even those French doctors said it themselves. Later these people lied that HIV cane from Africa. May Coronavirus kill the president of Congo! |

By next 2 weeks, your regular BMC opinion crafting shills will be subtly pushing for vaccines in Nigeria as the only solution. Most of you condemning Congo will start praising Buhari for allowing vaccines to be administered en masse especially after they compensate you afterwards with 10k cash. |

Nigeria is no better. Your government is allowing 19 Chinese doctors to come to your nation to do the same thing. Its not just Europeans who view you as little more than test moneys, the Chinese view you just as badly if not worst. 1 Like |
