former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has revealed that the Oxford AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is not the same as the one being sponsored by American businessman Bill Gates.
He said this in his Twitter handle after taking the vaccine at the National Hospital in Abuja on Tuesday
The former Minister said that the AstraZeneca vaccines are safe, saying that they have b administered successfully in other parts of the world.
The tweets read: “The COVID-19 vaccines we are taking in Nigeria are not Bill Gates’ vaccines and neither are we being used as Guinea pigs.
“These are tried & tested, have already been approved & have been administered successfully throughout the world. This is the Oxford AstraZeneca brand.
“There is a world of difference between what we are being given in Nigeria & the exploratory vaccines that @WHO had wanted to test Africans with which we spoke against & resisted last year.
“Most importantly, Bill Gates & his foundation have no connection with Oxford
“I would not touch anything Bill Gates with a barge pole for obvious reasons. Mark it”.
