“the Johnson and Johnson vaccine”
This is being rejected by most of the rest of the world because it is too dangerous. Don’t take these experimental substances. If you have bad effects, you’re on your own and all you will get is gaslighting and lies.
500 doses is now news? That’s not even enough for a boarding school….please leave this nonsense of propaganda in Lazy Lungu’s govt
