Tedros Ghebreyesus, head of the World Health Organisation, has dismissed as 'racist' a suggestion by two French scientists that the coronavirus vaccine should be tested in Africa.

Following the outrage, the scientists apologised for their comments and said they had only suggested that Africa should be added to an ongoing trial of a vaccine in Europe and Australia.

Reacting further to the scientists’ comments at a press briefing on Monday, Mr Ghebreyesus described such suggestions as a hangover from the “colonial mentality.”

Any African leader who accept this rubbish should be kicked out, this how they view us Africans, we are still slaves. We are not free!

We don't want

I look forward to a day when Africa will be totally free. These ideologies have outlived their lifecycle. We ain't featherbrained anymore.

Lies upon lies... They will publicly reject it and do otherwise. We all need to monitor the process and properly scrutinize what is coming into the country and going out. They should stop deceiving us. Africans be wise.

US, ITALY, SPAIN and more have more COVID 19 patients more than Africa so feel free to test it in US SAYNOtO AFRICAASTESTLAB
