Dear Editor,
At the start of 2012, the scientific data/information was limited. Our people in authority (CDC, WHO, doctors, governments etc) told us the vaccines would stop infection and/therefore would stop transmission. It followed for some of us that the unvaccinated should avoid being in places where they can spread the SARS COV 2 virus. Thus, when the Blue Book (proof of vaccination), the passport that allowed its holder to interact was instituted some of us thought it was reasonable.
Now at the start of 2022, the scientific data/information is abundant. The scientists, WHO, CDC et al and every day experiences say that the vaccine does not stop infection nor transmission. This has made the need for the Blue Book obsolete and redundant.
I am calling on the Minister of Health, the President and Parliament to rescind the regulation that requires us to provide this Blue Book to enjoy any services offered by the State and by any other service provider within Guyana.
Highest regards,
Mohamed F Khan
