Kaolack: the Khalife of Medina Baye gets vaccinated against Covid-19

The general khalife of Medina Baye in Kaolack (centre), Sheikh Mahi Ibrahima Niass was vaccinated Thursday evening against the new coronavirus, in the hope that his example will help reassure people about the reliability of the vaccine, APS noted.

The vaccination campaign was launched Wednesday in Kaolack where Governor Alioune Badara Mbengue was the first person to be vaccinated against the new coronavirus.

The general khalife of the religious city of Medina Baye, after getting vaccinated in front of the head of the regional executive and some health authorities, invited the « most skeptical » to do the same, noting that vaccination « is the best way for the moment to avoid Covid-19 ».

« We have to stop » all rumours about the supposed unreliability of the vaccine or its alleged dangerousness, referring in particular to rumours and conspiracy theories targeting Bill Gates and especially the philanthropic foundation he set up with his wife, Melinda Gates, in the early 2000s.

The Microsoft boss is accused of wanting to develop vaccines to reduce the number of humans on the planet.

« He’s not capable of it. Only God can do such a thing », asserted the general khalife of Medina Baye, going back on this rumour targeting Bill Gates.

Other dignitaries from the religious city of Medina Baye were vaccinated following the general Khalife, in order to set an example and reassure people about the reliability of the vaccine.
