Unvaccinated public officers in St. Vincent barred from entering the workplace from today

St. Vincent Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves – file photo

Search Light News reports that from today, any person within the government service of St. Vincent and Grenadines (SVG) who has not taken a COVID-19 vaccine, will be considered to have abandoned their jobs and will be barred from entering their workplace.

This comes off the heels of an order that took effect last week where unvaccinated police officers of the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF) were no longer considered employed.

Search Light is reporting that according to SR&O No. 28 of 2021-The Public Health (Public bodies Special Measures) Rules has taken full effect and under that law, government workers, unless they have received an exemption are prohibited from entering the workplace unless they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

While speaking on NBC radio’s “your morning cup” on Wednesday, SVG’s prime minister, Ralph Gonsalves, emphasized that he does not wish for anyone to lose their jobs and went on to say:  “I am not making them lose their jobs they are making the choice to lose their jobs.”

He noted that the science behind the COVID-19 vaccine shows there is no rationale behind refusing to be vaccinated.

    Just a little fact for those who never passed science at school yet are just loud talkers against real science and the vaccines which save billions of lives.
    Smallpox is the only disease which has been eradicated by vaccines in the world.
    Yet these loud talkers take vaccines for many other things which still exist among humans. What a bunch of know nothing ignoramus. Billions have received the Covid-19 vaccines and the vast majority have not died. Very few people have side effects therefore anyone who learnt science will deduce that the vaccines are safe and effective. Empty barrels make the most noise.

    And the st Vincent police just sit there and take that .. but wat kind of foolish people that..take a page from Guadeloupe retards

    Well in a real country public officers are the guardians of state resources. So really when one stops or tries to stop National guards from coming to the work place it will be much easier for corrupt politicians and thieves to do what they do best. I am not referring to St Vincent but rather just a general statement

    So all the top scientists the world over are telling us about the efficacy and benefits of the vaccines. Yet here we have people who have not sat in a science class since their high-school days telling us otherwise.
    We are truly living in an upside down world.

    • December 6, 2021

      No Zandoli, the World cannot be upside down, because of a few empty barrels, of which the authorities of the Nations are not paying attention to their foolish noises.

      The authorities are saying that the order for vaccination will be met or else–and that order and discipline are all over the World–we are reading about it every day.

      Over here in Canada, 100 000 Government workers, of Nova Scotia, had no choice but to go home without pay until they decide to be part of the vaccinated.

      So let those donkeys continue with the senseless braying–the government will use their salary to do something else for the Province or the country–wherever those stern actions are established.

      When you say,”So all the top scientists the world over are telling us about the efficacy and benefits of the vaccines.” that is fine, do you think the truth can be obtained by one narrative 24/7. God gave as a faculty of intelligence, what and why you are endowered with such faculty, is it for entertainment or to listen to experts just believing what they say. Don’t you question things, just because someone says they are an expert, you just believe them at their word for what they say. The matter before us does not need one to attend a science class to know the truth, we do not live in the dark ages, information is at our fingertips, with a passion for the truth, question what is told to you by authority and the use of your intelligence you would be amazed. When someone sees a family member or a friend die or gotten injured from taking the Vaccine, do they need to take a science class to tell them something is wrong, start with this https://wbai

      This is what we need to establish leadership.

      Freedom, Liberty and self-determination divine principles. There is something called conscience, it deals with questions what is right and what is wrong, man’s conscience is the light of the spiritual mind, which we are at some time needs to be exercised.

      • December 6, 2021

        Gary, be careful when you speak about “man’s conscience” and the “spiritual mind”

        Truly, the mind cannot be spiritual with the Light of “conscience”, but not all conscience is lighted, meaning that the God of Light is not living there–that is why there is a massive number of people in the World, walking with a carnal state of mind.

        That is so because the state of their conscience is dark or spiritually dead–you will know them by their attitude and conduct.

        For example, a man who loads a gun and goes on a rampage of murdering his fellowmen is not someone who is conscience lighted enchanting his mind to be spiritual.

          Liz do you know that light is a living spirit, that is why it was the first thing God created. I’m not referring to the physical light we see. Do you know light is the material through which fire manifest itself, fire is invisible unless it flames with light, the same can also be said about life, it is the material through which life manifest itself and that light has properties or things in it to give life and sustain it, light is essential to our being. That is why the SUN is the light of the world, without that light we would cease to exist. Liz, light is one of the most intelligent of forces, do not take light for granted, again not the physical light we see. Liz, you are a Christian, haven’t you seen representations of Jesus sometimes portrayed with a hollow of light around him. Why are you associating the conscience with thought. It’s not the conscience that leads someone to commit a crime, the conscience comes after reflection with remorse.

            To Liz. When Paul was traveling to Damascus, what struck him to make him change his ways, Light. The spiritual Mind is one of the principles in man, it is one of the highest principle in man The massive number of people in the world, walking with a carnal state of mind which you speak of, operates in the instinctive mind, one of the lower principles in Man.

            The mind of man has degrees, from the lowest to the highest. There is also there is also intuitive mind and let us not forget the intellect. The composition of man is complex, it is not just the physical body.

    I am far more worried about the effects of Skerrit Ham and Turkey from China, than I am worried about the vaccine.

    I am more worried about Chinese that can come to Dominica visa free than I am worried about the vaccine

    I am more worried about the number of wanted criminals holding a Dominican passport than I am worried about the vaccine

    I am more worried about a Dominica that’s been sold to all kinds of evil by Skerrit than I am worried about vaccine

    I am far more worried about the number well loved politicians that Skerrit and Vince Henderson have buried with a state funeral than I am worried about vaccine

    I am far more worried about the corrupt leaders of the Easter Caribbean that might be wanted, than I am concerned about vaccine.

    At least the vaccine is available for all of us and free whereas the passport money is only available to those wicked, greedy and corrupt politicians the vaccine they want to give all of us

      @One love, you should change your tag from “one love” to One Hate. The name tag does not match your hateful rhetoric which you so often use this platform to project. Try portraying some positivity for a change. And FYI, nothing comes for free. You may be getting the vaccine for free (curtesy of this government you so HATE) but somewhere along the line there are costs to produce it and get it into your arm. So stop whining and give thanks instead. Show your appreciation man!

      Wow, the things you are worried about, why do you think that it is what most Dominicans should be worried about. The things you have chosen to worry about belongs to you, it’s your mind, you can choose what ever you want to entertain yourself, such a misuse of your imagination.

    For someone with such an academic education, a lawyer and past member of the debating society of the University of the West Indies, says ” the science behind the COVID-19 vaccine shows there is no rationale behind refusing to be vaccinated.” wow comrade.

    Coercion, Black’s Law dictionary – Compulsion; force; duress. It may be either actual, (direct or positive.) where physical force Is put upon a man to compel him to do an act against his will, or implied, (legal or constructive.) where the relation of the parties is such that one is under subjection to the other, and is thereby constrained to do what his free will would refuse.

    There is empirical evidence and anecdotal evidence to prove that the covid vaccine is not safe, it does not stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the science is fraudulent and questionable with corruption attributed to the makers and regulating bodies developing a vaccine in such a quick time. Then the debate among some top Scientist in the…

      I cannot agree with you more. Thus vacinne is a sham as against all that know a vacinne can and is capable of doing. I know if 6 people in Dominica who are fully vacinnated and still got Covid, 2 were in Portsmouth and one has since died. This is crazy on many fronts: it is pure and simple coercion, and who made him and others like him a god? Oh I thank God that all their money, authority, power and position CANNOT buy is health and life. It’s all a matter of time for you!

    This s*cks, that should teach us, the voting public, not to elect people into office for life. You have to have other country men look at the big picture and make decisions that make sense. On the other hand, if I’m in my child bearing years I would look at other avenues to earn a living and bypass vaccine mandates as much as I could for now.

      The science shows that there is every reason for peole not to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes or consume a lot of junk food. But those are perfectly legal and the governments of all countries collect millions in taxes from their sale, even though cancer and heart disease are the leading causes of death world wide.

      But that is besides the point, even if “the science” showed that taking the vaccine made you 100% immune and immortal from death there is still no justification to force or coerce someone into performing a medical procedure that they do not want to.

      If we accept this, how far are we from people being forced to have a medical procedure that prevents them from producing more children. Considering what they are saying about overpopulation and climate change now that’s not far. Just two years ago the idea of forced vaccination and vaccine passports was a “conspiracy theory”

      But Dr. Clayton Shillingford no one is anti-vax because you well know the whole truth about this Jab. How many persons have died as a result of the “jab”? you know too well. This is a dictatorship and I used to respect people like you but now the “jab’ has caused you, people, to get so proud that you cannot even be humble to listen to others. To allay their fears. Does Jehovah force anyone? Although the right thing is to accept the Lord. He has given every one of us free will. I do not see why there is no respect for persons nowadays. You know for a fact that corona is not as bad as it is portrayed. Putting fear in the heart of men and killing them as well (fear). Corona is 99% curable. You seem to forget the flu persons get every year. I am sure you remember when you got a fever and your mouth was tasteless only water made sense. Why for Heaven’s sake, do you people think that a whole world should take the “Jab” Do the maths – the figure is not as big as portrayed…

      The death % for all the countries is under 2% of infected & lower in the small states. Dominica. The whole world is 1.99% and Dominica 0.64%. Why use figures to confuse persons? We have to answer one of these days to the deception & confusion we are sowing. You took an oath to protect people but you rather gang up with the big shots – Big Pharm & the Investors in genocide just as equally as the Hitler nazi era. The Earth is the Lord’s. Doc introspect & turn around for God is watching. We all must go in front of the judgment seat. Why the diabolical decision to force persons? Again I plead that you choose this day whom you may serve – death (everlasting) or life (eternal). You should know that when the majority stands – God is not in it. He is not a dictator. I give you a few scriptures to study – 1 Thessalonians 2 10:12. Romans 1:28; 2 Timothy 4:4; Isaiah 66:4. Remember also Noah preached 120 years and he was mocked until the flood came – Building an ark. Vaccine-idol-golden calf

      • I don't agree
        December 6, 2021

        Why are you using figures to confuse people? Dominica is at 0.64% because many people have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep the infection rate low. It didn’t just happen magically. Had Dominica not put in very stringent measures from day 1, the infection and death rate would have been far higher.

      Like the Nazis of the last century tried to distance themselves from their orders when the tide started turning against them. You fake intellectuals who are unable to think critically, will one day try to distance yourselves from your support of medical apartheid. This covid season has exposed what frauds you guys have always been. The tide is already turning. I will be looking for your (wherever consensus leads I’m there) fraudulent responses.

      DR Clayton, you seem incapable of independent analytical thought. If a PM says it, then to you its gold!

      In the real world though, real scientific data is showing that people are dying and having severe reactions. Common sense tells you that the various PMs are fully aware of this, but refuse to acknowledge, address and or do anything about it. The only conclusion to be drawn, is that the various PMs accross the caribbean (and world) in all in on a very sinister depopulation agenda. These vaccines are a biological weapon being used against humanity!

    This Covid saga is definitely unveiling the TRUE NATURE of a number of these Caribbean leaders.

    It is increasingly clear that these vaccine mandates have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with GENUINE health science. The vaccinated – as the REALITY continues to show – can still catch covid, can still transmit covid to others including the vulnerable & still experience varying ranges of symptoms just as unvaccinated people.

    By the way, why are we still referring to these covid pharmaceuticals from Pfizer etc as vaccines when the main selling point of these things at this time is “that they reduce symptoms & risk of death”? 8-O

    When will this mockery of Immunology cease? When will this in-your-face HIGH GRADE deception stop?

    We might as well reclassify & shift things such as Paracetamol, Histatussin, Ibuprofen & Tylenol into the vaccine category since these medications also help reduce symptoms of varying health conditions as well.

    THE TRUTH IS HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT!!!

      It will come out one of these days. The truth will set some persons free. Persons are fearful, deceived, and duped. Making way for the mark of the beast as spoken about in Revelation.

      Remember this is a test. I want to remind persons what Revelation has to say about the mark of the beast. Jehovah has forbidden us to take that mark. Some will have to die but will be saved. People please get to know God for yourself and let him guide you in these perilous times. There is a controlling spirit loose sent by the “jab” itself. So seek Jehovah and remember that following the crowd is not the best.
