A pharmacist has described as ridiculous comments suggesting that Covid-19 vaccines have been developed to reduce the country's population.
According to Dr Kwame Sarpong Asiedu, such comments are not backed by any science, therefore, cannot be accepted.
"Some of these comments don't even make any sense from a scientific modelling, thinking or standpoint," the Research Fellow at the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) said.
His comment comes as a reaction to various myths circulated after the country took delivery of 600,000 Covid-19 vaccines on Wednesday.
A section of Ghanaians have expressed fear over the Covid-19 vaccines, with others indicating that they would not receive them because they have been designed to eliminate persons who receive them.
However, reacting to this, Dr Asiedu Sarpong said the vaccines have been effective in reducing the impact of the virus in countries that have so far used them.
The Research Fellow at CDD-Ghana, who was baffled by the claims argued that, compared with Africa, countries which developed the vaccines have administered more (of the vaccines) to their population, and have seen no adverse impact.
Therefore, he said, claims that the vaccine is here to kill cannot be enough grounds to reject them.
Giving a statistical breakdown, he said, " as at Thursday, 233 million doses of the SARS COV-2 vaccines has been given across the world. As at Wednesday, it was 221 million which means it has gone up by 12 million in 24 hours," but the difference in number of doses administered in Africa, between the same 24 hour period was 2,093.
"How can someone design a weapon to exterminate you and decide to kill 12 million of his own and kill only 2,000 of yours? What sort of statistical correlation can even let you believe this is possible," he said.
Meanwhile, the first dose of Covid-19 vaccines arrived in Ghana Wednesday.
President Akufo-Addo will receive the first dose of the 600,000 Covid-19 vaccines which arrived in the country to "ensure the safety of the citizenry."
