Some Concerned Ghanaian Doctors are demanding that the Government rescind all forms of mandates across the country requiring proof of vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines with immediate effect.
They are also demanding that the Government puts a pause on the administration of the covid-19 vaccine, also with immediate effect.

In a petition to the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, the Doctors said, “Vaccines have been touted as our most recent and best tool at winning this war. However, we disagree with the strategy of banking all our hopes on these vaccines and directly or indirectly coercing Ghanaians to go for inoculations against this novel coronavirus disease which, as previously stated, we are still learning about.”
The Doctors continued that,”We, as Concerned Ghanaian Doctors, are writing to you requesting all forms of mandates across the country requiring proof of vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines be rescinded with immediate effect and a pause in the vaccine roll out. We as physicians, pledged to consecrate our lives to the service of humanity, practicing our profession with conscience and dignity with the health of our patients our first consideration. Indeed, we are to uphold the principle of primum non nocere, first do no harm.”
They added that,”As Ghanaians also, we pledged ourselves to the service of Ghana, to boldly defend the cause of freedom and of right, to cherish fearless honesty, resisting oppressor’s rule. We cannot in good conscience stand by and watch the lives of innocent Ghanaians be gambled away, and their basic freedoms and rights of health abused.”
They said before the roll out of any vaccine programme, the necessity, the efficacy and the safety of the vaccine should have been addressed.
However, looking at the available data and research concerning this pandemic and these novel vaccines, the Concerned Doctors said it was clear at least to them that these vaccines are not necessary, neither are they effective nor safe.
Meanwhile, it stressed that,”If there is safe, effective, affordable, freely available early treatment for COVID-19, vaccines are no longer a priority. It doesn’t take a genius to recognize the financial benefit of pharmaceutical companies in demonizing potential early, effective treatments. If these medications do work, that’s wonderful in the human race’s fight against COVID-19. However, they are practicably placebos if they don’t work. Why the suppression and demonizing of these early treatments then, if the concern is health?”
