Don’t see COVID-19 vaccines as end-time prophecy – Rev. Opuni Frimpong
Executive Director of the Alliance for Christian
Advocacy Africa (ACAA), Rev. Opuni Frimpong has
entreated Ghanaians, especially the Christian
community to regard the COVID-19 vaccine as any
other vaccine rather than seeing it as the
end-time prophecy.


He said this in an interview with Dela Michel on
Midday Live on TV3, Tuesday, February 23.



Rev. Opuni, who was the General Secretary of the
Christian Council of Ghana(CCG) was allaying fears
of Ghanaians, especially Christians who perceive
the coming of the COVID-19 vaccines into the
country as a Bible prophecy to the effect that it
is the sign of the “end-time”.

He said “We have seen vaccination for our
children, we’ve seen vaccination at so many
points in our lives so I would like us to treat
this COVID vaccination as any other type of
Vaccination that we have witnessed over the years.
So the impression should not be like this is the
first we are going through the process of being
vaccinated and therefore the end has come, we have
seen vaccination of all forms and that should not
bring us to the end of the world” he
emphasized.

“For the purpose of public trust and confidence,
you know normally, the product that we have seen,
gone are my school days we were using Milo,
anytime they are advertising Milo on your
station(TV), they will still emphasize that: FDA
has tested and approved it. I would wish that a
body will accept the responsibility that we have
done all that we are supposed to do, we’ve done
all the tests and Ghanaians are safe, I think that
is what we need to hear, but that vaccination will
bring us to the end of the world, we must treat
this vaccination like any other vaccination that
we’ve been giving to our children, young people
all these years, I don’t think COVID vaccination
will bring us to any danger, I don’t think
so”.

He further pointed out that he is more than
willing to take the vaccine publicly to build
confidence among the Christian community to do
same, to safeguard the community against the
deadly pandemic.



“I am more than willing, more than ready but
also for the purpose of public confidence because
I wouldn’t want to mislead people, I trust my
president will never go to whether Russia or
anywhere to bring products that will harm us, I
don’t think Nana Addo Dankwa and his ministers
of health and others will dream of that. But then
I’m saying that for the purpose of public
confidence, let an indigenous organization, either
a university or a research body thoroughly examine
the content of the vaccine and accept
responsibility that it’s not only coming from
Russia but back at home as we do to all products,
we have tested and approved it. I would want to
have a local research body, a local organization
accepting responsibility, but I still trust the
government, I still trust my president that they
will never take us for granted and therefore I am
more than willing to take the vaccine” he
emphasized.
