In our beloved Zimbabwe, a new battle has emerged—not against a visible enemy, but against an invisible virus that has shaken the world to its core. The government, in its quest to protect its people, mandated COVID-19 vaccines for its workers and encouraged widespread vaccination. This move, while rooted in the intention to safeguard public health, has now come under scrutiny.
The recent admission by AstraZeneca, one of the vaccine manufacturers, about the rare but serious side effects of blood clotting associated with their vaccine, has sent ripples of concern across the globe. It’s a revelation that has left many feeling betrayed and questioning the transparency of both the pharmaceutical industry and their own governments.
In Zimbabwe, where trust in the government is as delicate as the ecosystem of Hwange National Park, this news is particularly disconcerting. The government’s push for vaccination was forceful, with a clear message: “get vaccinated or risk losing your job” . It was a tough stance, one that left little room for personal choice or consent. And now, with the truth about the vaccine’s potential risks coming to light, it feels like a breach of the social contract between the government and its people.
The question that lingers in the air, as palpable as the smoke that thunders over the falls, is whether the government will acknowledge its misstep. Will there be an apology, a public recognition of the oversight? Or will the concerns of the people be swept under the rug, like so much dust in the dry season?
As Zimbabweans, we have weathered many storms. We have faced challenges with resilience and strength. But the issue at hand goes beyond mere policy—it touches on the very essence of trust and care. The government’s silence on the matter is deafening, and it speaks volumes about its priorities.
It’s time for our leaders to step forward and offer more than just words. It’s time for action—for a genuine apology and a commitment to do better. The health and well-being of the nation depend on it. Yet, as the days pass with no word from the corridors of power, one can’t help but wonder: does our government truly care for its people, or are we just pawns in a larger game of political and economic interests?
The skepticism runs deep, and rightfully so. For a nation that prides itself on the spirit of Ubuntu, the lack of empathy and accountability is troubling. It’s a moment of reckoning, a time to demand more from those who lead us. After all, if a government cannot protect its people, can it truly call itself a government at all?
In the end, the call for an apology is not just about the vaccine—it’s about respect, dignity, and the value of human life. It’s a call that echoes through the valleys and the cities, from the highest peaks to the lowest plains. And it’s a call that must be answered. For the sake of all Zimbabweans, let’s hope it is.
P. S Remember Gukurahundi? We are still waiting for an apology from Mnangagwa’s Government aren’t we?

Hello from the UK
Many thanks for your post. I have been trying to warn people about the vaccines and the scam over COVID 19 since 2020 when I worked out what was going on. It is far more serious than many believe. I have written extensively on the matter if you are interested.

Correlation is not causation
You even admit this. Yet your article contradicts itself repeatedly. If cases went up during vaccination campaigns, perhaps it’s because the virus was surging and vaccines were a response, not the cause. Your argument is like blaming the presence of ambulances for car crashes.

If you make a claim that my article contradicts itself repeatedly then you must state clearly where.
As to the virus surging I have explained what the so-called virus is. Any fool should see that injecting toxic substances plus the alleged disease causing agent into people (that is what vaccines are as they must create an immune response) is going to cause problems. That is an obvious causation/correlation, the causation/correlation follows from the injection of toxic substances.
People have been fooled too long by the bollox coming out of big pharma and the medical establishment which is why many refuse to be taken in any more by their lies.

Lol “any fool”. You sound like those people who are convinced the moon landing was filmed in a basement.
I normally do not engage dunderheads.
You criticize others for confusing correlation and causation, then do exactly that moments later by blaming rising cases on vaccines based solely on correlation.

I am saddened by “the system” that failed you. I am saddened by the fact that they aren’t compassionate and wont take ownership for their actions, mandates, etc. Governments fail to care about we the people, the common man (/woman). We are the reason they are where they are. They make promises before they are in office, but it’s all smoke and mirrors. I’m so sorry. Small consolation, perhaps, but one day the governments will all have to answer and will be held accountable. I wish you peace and I wish you well. God bless you and yours. 🌻🌸🪻

Thank you so much for your empathetic and supportive response. Your words have brought me comfort and solace. It’s heartening to know that there are people like you who understand the struggles and frustrations of dealing with a government that seems to have forgotten its responsibility to its citizens.
You’re absolutely right; governments are put in place to serve the people, not the other way around. It’s disheartening when they fail to acknowledge their mistakes and take ownership of their actions. But, as you said, one day they will be held accountable.
Thank you for your kind wishes and blessings. I appreciate them deeply. May we all continue to stand together and advocate for a better future, where governments prioritize the well-being of their citizens.
God bless you too, and thank you again for your compassion and understanding.💙💙💙
