EDITORIAL: Stop spreading the lies

In a debate concerning medicine, we have to rely on science over religion.

Truth be told, Covid-19 vaccination do not make one a zombie or worse, kill.

The proof to that is everywhere. Most of the population moving about are vaccinated

The Davao City Covid-19 Task Force has found another hump along the road with some religious faiths standing firm against vaccination. The reasons vary from the baseless presumptions to the absurd and ridiculous. The truth is that we cannot anymore tolerate ignorance amidst the continuing threat to infection by this dreaded virus.

While vaccination may not work like bullet-proofing from thee coronavirus, having the protection that comes only from vaccination is better than no protection at all.

It’s as basic as wearing a helmet when riding motorcycles given the high percentage of road deaths caused by head injuries attributed to not wearing a helmet. Does a helmet protect you 100 percent? No. But it’s better off that having nothing to protect one’s head at all.

It is unbelievable that in the age of advanced technology in a seamless world, how can ignorance and false beliefs even prevail in this debate on whether or not to be vaccinated against Covid-19.

Faced with this dilemma, we can only prevail over the spread of lies by educating people. And this must be everyone’s busines, nit just the government’s. We must be all in this together.
