Dr. Stella’s revelations have given credence to conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic, with which the governor of Kogi, Yahaya Bello, disagreed. ERNEST NZOR writes.
Since the coVID-19 pandemic erupted in Wuhan, China, last year, the world has not remained the same. Several conspiracy theories abound in the media area about the origin of the virus and in recent years about its imaginable cure.
Maggie Kuhn’s quote that says “Tell the truth, even if her voice shakes” Maggie Kuhn (1905-1995) captures the conspiracy theories about the pandemic.
Instructively, the debate around COVID-19 and the cry about Dr. Stella Immanuel’s headquarters in the U.S. It is sufficient evidence of a program to gag any voice that dares to raise the option of an additional layer of wisdom or an option (not necessarily false). pandemic.
With hysteria aroused through criticism expressed through Dr. Immanuel, a qualified medical staff, it should be noted, others who in the past have raised an objection contrary to the popular even if a false position has been placed on the reasons and protocols of healing the coronavirus. Justified.
And, without a doubt, there are many who have come out of this brush of ignorance and naivety through those who assume to know everything and any call to objectivity as a capital sin.
President Donald Trump continues to be mocked for lack of competition in matters, even if his claims are backed by the facts of leading experts.
Back in Nigeria, the governor of Kogi state, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, called non-printable names and was the victim of sustained media blackmail, adding planned lies and half-false truths, for refusing to bow to the popular will on COVID-19.
Bello is the victim of a vicious media program that intentionally misrepresents his words and gives him false reasons for he might dare to confront buccaneers and scaremongering.
However, in an age of falsehood, only those who stoically resist the lie will do so and Bello’s translators are already reaping the culmination of their perfidy.
Those interested in seeing the bodies of COVID-19 sufferers piled up on the streets of Kogi so far have been disappointed, and those who have put words in the governor’s mouth, adding the accusation that he denied the virus’s lifestyle, are now being shamed.
Let’s take a look even at the facts of what Governor Bello, which is in the public domain, said, and look at how they compare to existing realities.
Speaking in a prayer consultation by the vanquished Nasir Ajana, president of the Supreme Court of Kogi, Bello said coVID-19 intended to create fear, panic and decrease and shorten the useful life of others. He also asked others not to settle for what he described as “cutting and pasting COVID-19,” saying nothing kills faster than fear.
Which of these statements is not true about COVID-19? A virus that has reached pandemic status, killing millions of other people and making the global economy coma will create panic and shorten life, won’t it? And even the doctors begged us to restrict our exposure to pandemic data so as not to cause mental trauma and cause fear, right? So what did Yahaya Bello say is radically different from all those other people? Or is it a case of having bones with the messenger and not the message?
His speech at the funeral was reported through TheCable, but the lie providers, in his own way, went to town with the story that Bello denied that there was anything called COVID-19. On June 30, the Observer Times, an online newspaper boldly shouted that: “COVID-19 is not real, some use it to create fear, panic, says that Ajanah died for herbal reasons – Yahaya Bello.”
Fortunately, it was necessary for the Center for Democracy and Development to find out what the governor was saying and what the media reported. In a report still on its website, the CDD showed that while COVID-19 is genuine, Observer Time’s statement that the governor of Kogi State had stated that the virus is not genuine is false and misleading.
The CDD then suggested that members of the public read beyond headlines before sharing any news, especially blogs that used clickbait titles to attract traffic to their blogs.
It should be noted that, to date, the Observer Times has not discovered that it is moral to refute the CDD’s statement related to its misleading report or to remove the history from its online page to date. It is simple to conclude that before many others speak out on a factor of public importance, their minds are already made and neither explanation nor logic can impress.
We have a country with a herd mentality where the seed of dissent cannot germinate. In the past, they say, one man’s flesh was another man’s poison, but now everyone is fed up by force in the vacuum of the irrational.
What the cacophony of voices looking to shout, Dr. Immanuel can simply drown, is a fact that can go unnoticed and yet is indisputable.
She said, “I’m a doctor. I see patients in my hospitals, so I face genuine situations. Those who oppose me, adding scientists, don’t. You can speak in the abstract. Think about it for a while.
If Harvey A. Risch, professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, can simply approve the use of hydroxychloroquine for the COVID-19 remedy, why then do we question Dr. Immanuel’s right to express the same point of view? So why do we question Yahaya Bello’s right to disagree with those who are ready to succumb to the crippling paralysis of a virus that is still unknown?
Only the fact can make us free.
