On Wednesday the 1st of April 2020, French TV Channel LCI broadcast a discussion between two top French Doctors Jean-Paul Mira and Camila Locht where they raised the idea of testing the Coronavirus vaccine in Africa since they lack the resources to fight against the COVID-19.
The footage left viewers including African football legends Samuel Eto and Didier Drogba horrified and also triggered a deluge of outrage accusing the doctors of white colonial attitude and saying Africa is not a testing lab and Citizens are not Guinea pigs
But earlier today, a well-read socialite, Mr. Agyemang Duah declared his hundred percent support for the vaccine to be tested in Ghana citing that Ghana has very suitable demographics that can be easily monitored.
He also noted that the test in Ghana will serve will as the perfect opportunity for restoring citizen’s lost faith and confidence in their leaders.
Taking to his official Facebook space, he posted;
”I agree for the vaccine to be tested here in Ghana because this will be our only contribution to its development, we already have a suitably controlled demographics that can easily be monitored. 275 Mps, 123 ministers and about 50 deputy ministers are enough samples to test the vaccine. The MPs represent the people. They can agree to represent the population as a sample of the COVID-19 vaccine trial, after all, they already representing us in law-making processes. Afterward, they will report to us the findings after their parliamentary recess. ☺️ win-win for everyone, and you know the best part? This will serve as the perfect opportunity for restoring citizens’ lost faith and confidence in our leaders”
