You are right. But then, him taking his time to do the research himself shows that he is interested in the discourse. If I bring the evidence and yet he waves it away, my time is lost on him. And that is not fair.

Correct. But doing so would mean you have done your part. It is now left for him to help himself out with the information you have provided.

That being said, taking the vaccine is helpful first, to the recipient and then to the society at large regardless of the conspiracy theory around it. It has nothing to do with the faith or belief of the individual.

Oga go and take the vaccine and save yourself the ‘had I known’ story later. I took my first jab today and it’s not different from any other vaccine people have been taking and I feel perfectly fine. At the PHCC where I took it, there were women who brought their babies for immunization, how did they come to trust it as to let their babies take it?
Are you thinking the pharmaceutical companies put a 666 code in the vaccines?

Like everything in Nigeria, people love to wait till the last minute before doing anything thereby causing a rush on the system when they have no choice but to do it.

Go to https://nphcda.vaccination.gov.ng/ and register. Covid is real, I have two siblings who have had it. One in Nigeria but is abroad now and the other with his family abroad but to God be the glory, they overcame. Take the first jab now so even if there is a rush eventually, your second jab is guaranteed.

How have Covid-19 vaccines been made quickly and safely?

How have Covid-19 vaccines been made quickly and safely?
Unprecedented international cooperation and focus have led to multiple effective and safe Covid-19 vaccines in less than a year, and created a blueprint for future vaccine development. Here's how.

The first vaccines for Covid-19 were developed in under twelve months. How was this possible and what can we learn from this?
The Covid-19 pandemic threatens every one of us, wherever we are, which has demanded a new global approach to vaccine development. There has been unprecedented international attention, cooperation and use of resources, enabling us to act at speed to stop people dying and protect livelihoods.

For most diseases, developing a vaccine can take more than 10 years. The development process is expensive, so to keep costs down development takes place slowly, each stage only beginning when the previous stage is successfully completed.

This has meant a fundamental redesign of the staggered approach of conventional vaccine development, so that Covid-19 vaccine development can safely be done much faster.

So far, it has been an extraordinary success – a brilliant example of what we can achieve when we work together.

It’s a bit like driving across a busy city in rush hour. Normally you spend lots of time waiting at traffic lights, but when you have a police escort, you can take the same journey and get to the same place, just as safely, but faster.


**Vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Oxford-AstraZeneca are the first Covid-19 vaccines to get emergency authorisation**

The usual vaccine development process
All licensed vaccines currently available have been made using a traditional vaccine development model. Because of the high costs and failure rate, this usually follows a linear sequence of steps.

There are five stages to the process:

Discovery research – normally takes between 2 and 5 years and involves lab-based research looking to find ways to induce an immune response at a molecular level.

The pre-clinical stage – takes up to 2 years and involves testing in animals to assess the safety and suitability of potential vaccines for humans.

Clinical development involves testing potential vaccines in humans and has three phases:
phase I: testing for safety – takes 2 years and requires 10-50 (usually healthy) people to take part in trials.
phase II: understanding the immune response, safety and dosage – takes 2 to 3 years and requires hundreds of people to take part in randomised trials, including a placebo control group and people with the target disease.
phase III: assessing if the vaccine safely protects against the disease – including prevention of infection and related immune responses – takes 5 to 10 years and requires thousands of people to take part in trials, including a placebo control group.

Regulatory approval – can take 2 years and involves submitting data and information on the vaccine’s safety and efficacy to regulatory authorities for review, to gain approval. Pharmaceutical companies continue to monitor effectiveness and safety after the vaccine has been licensed.
Manufacturing and delivery – require specialist facilities that are highly regulated and expensive to set up.

Using this approach, a vaccine would usually take more than 10 years to be developed and cost between $200 and $500 million.

Each of these stages happens in sequence, one after the other. At each stage, and between stages, there would be a lot of waiting.

With Covid-19, we couldn’t afford to wait. Because of how deadly and disruptive Covid-19 is, we simply had to find ways to speed up the usual vaccine development approach.

What changed to develop a Covid-19 vaccine at speed?
Developing Covid-19 vaccines in one year instead of 10 has been a monumental task. To succeed, new collaborative approaches to science and global manufacturing and distribution have been created.

The result has been faster vaccine development than we’ve ever seen, but without cutting back on testing and safety measures.

This has been possible thanks to public, private and philanthropic collaboration and investment on a never-before-seen level.

The investment needed for Covid-19 vaccine development is significant. $2 billion has been spent by COVAX alone, and they require a further $6.8 billion in 2021 to achieve their goal of delivering 2 billion vaccine doses globally.

While this sounds costly – at least four times the cost of usual vaccine development – it’s a good investment, given that we’re losing $375 billion from the global economy every month due to the pandemic.


To work together at speed, researchers, developers and funders have had to seek three things:

1. Unprecedented collaboration
To work at speed has meant carrying out different stages of development and production at the same time, to get to a vaccine faster.

Vaccine trials have been carried out in parallel around the world, not just in high-income countries, to give us the best chance of finding vaccines that are safe and effective for everyone.

2. Funding for multiple vaccines
We didn’t and still don’t know where the best Covid-19 vaccines will come from, so teams are trying as many different innovations and technologies as possible. This gives us the best chance of finding ones that work, and a diversity of vaccines with different requirements to make sure they work in a variety of contexts and populations.

3. Creation of additional manufacturing capability
To meet the demand for the billions of doses of Covid-19 vaccines (in addition to all the other routine vaccines that still need to be manufactured, such as MMR and polio) requires various steps to be taken:

manufacturing was started before the Covid-19 vaccines were proven to be safe and effective. This was done to avoid delay when a vaccine was approved, but at a risk to the vaccine manufacturers. If a vaccine wasn’t approved, they would have to bin what they had made, a bit like making a lot of food for an event that doesn’t go ahead.
some new manufacturing sites have had to be built, and more might be needed. This is because many existing sites are still needed to produce routine immunisations which must be kept up where possible to limit the burden of additional outbreaks. Also, new sites were needed to manufacture some of the novel vaccine technologies that are being tried for Covid-19, which have not been produced at scale before.
production sites have to be spread around the world, to help make sure vaccines are equitably distributed to communities everywhere.
a diverse pool of vaccines is needed to get control of this pandemic, so we must continue to develop additional safe and effective vaccines, particularly ones that are easier or cheaper to manufacture and deliver. This could include vaccines that only require one dose. We will stockpile new vaccines, ready for trials and emergency authorisation for future outbreaks, beyond this pandemic.

It is called a vaccine, but it is not a vaccine. It is a messenger RNA (mRNA) injection.
It is better to err on the side of caution by not taking the "vaccine".

Beware of injections that give genetic instructions, and have a "no liability clause" for the pharmaceutical company and the international supplier.

The "vaccine" is not about your health. It's about control.
Several of the patents for the "vaccine" were applied for, before December 2019, when covid-19 was said to have started.

There is great pressure on governments all over the world to enforce the jab.

Don't take it! Look, a lot is happening in this world. It is not as ordinary as most think. Even though I am a very sinful person, I still have a small gift of dream. I actually dreamt of the end time some four years ago. I felt the urgency that it was close. And again, earlier this year I had another end time dream where it was shown that this vaccine is the devil's mark. Look, the Bible said that this world would end in like manner as was Noah's time. Which would mean that the devil will want to change humans DNA as he did with the people during Noah's time by sleeping with humans with his fallen angels which resulted in the birth of the nephilims. Devil is trying to mix his DNA with humans through this nRMA vaccines. The end of the world is very close, and if we should follow the timelines, remember Israel got her independence in 1948, and today she is 73yrs. And the Bible said that the generation of those that would see Israel as a nation will not pass before Jesus comes back. And Biblically, a generation is 70-80. And now that Israel is 73yrs, the grace period was likely the 3yrs we have already spent, and this remaining 7yrs years may likely be the time for the Antichrist and the beast.
Pharmakia-according to the Bible would decieve the whole world, and truly, you can see them deceiving the world with the vaccine.

phase III: assessing if the vaccine safely protects against the disease – including prevention of infection and related immune responses – takes 5 to 10 years and requires thousands of people to take part in trials, including a placebo control group.

Regulatory approval – can take 2 years and involves submitting data and information on the vaccine’s safety and efficacy to regulatory authorities for review, to gain approval. Pharmaceutical companies continue to monitor effectiveness and safety after the vaccine has been licensed.
Manufacturing and delivery – require specialist facilities that are highly regulated and expensive to set up.

Using this approach, a vaccine would usually take more than 10 years to be developed and cost between $200 and $500 million.

Each of these stages happens in sequence, one after the other. At each stage, and between stages, there would be a lot of waiting.

With Covid-19, we couldn’t afford to wait. Because of how deadly and disruptive Covid-19 is, we simply had to find ways to speed up the usual vaccine development approach.

What changed to develop a Covid-19 vaccine at speed?
Developing Covid-19 vaccines in one year instead of 10 has been a monumental task. To succeed, new collaborative approaches to science and global manufacturing and distribution have been created.

The result has been faster vaccine development than we’ve ever seen, but without cutting back on testing and safety measures.

This has been possible thanks to public, private and philanthropic collaboration and investment on a never-before-seen level.

The investment needed for Covid-19 vaccine development is significant. $2 billion has been spent by COVAX alone, and they require a further $6.8 billion in 2021 to achieve their goal of delivering 2 billion vaccine doses globally.

While this sounds costly – at least four times the cost of usual vaccine development – it’s a good investment, given that we’re losing $375 billion from the global economy every month due to the pandemic.


To work together at speed, researchers, developers and funders have had to seek three things:

1. Unprecedented collaboration
To work at speed has meant carrying out different stages of development and production at the same time, to get to a vaccine faster.

Vaccine trials have been carried out in parallel around the world, not just in high-income countries, to give us the best chance of finding vaccines that are safe and effective for everyone.

2. Funding for multiple vaccines
We didn’t and still don’t know where the best Covid-19 vaccines will come from, so teams are trying as many different innovations and technologies as possible. This gives us the best chance of finding ones that work, and a diversity of vaccines with different requirements to make sure they work in a variety of contexts and populations.

3. Creation of additional manufacturing capability
To meet the demand for the billions of doses of Covid-19 vaccines (in addition to all the other routine vaccines that still need to be manufactured, such as MMR and polio) requires various steps to be taken:

manufacturing was started before the Covid-19 vaccines were proven to be safe and effective. This was done to avoid delay when a vaccine was approved, but at a risk to the vaccine manufacturers. If a vaccine wasn’t approved, they would have to bin what they had made, a bit like making a lot of food for an event that doesn’t go ahead.
some new manufacturing sites have had to be built, and more might be needed. This is because many existing sites are still needed to produce routine immunisations which must be kept up where possible to limit the burden of additional outbreaks. Also, new sites were needed to manufacture some of the novel vaccine technologies that are being tried for Covid-19, which have not been produced at scale before.
production sites have to be spread around the world, to help make sure vaccines are equitably distributed to communities everywhere.
a diverse pool of vaccines is needed to get control of this pandemic, so we must continue to develop additional safe and effective vaccines, particularly ones that are easier or cheaper to manufacture and deliver. This could include vaccines that only require one dose. We will stockpile new vaccines, ready for trials and emergency authorisation for future outbreaks, beyond this pandemic.
