Don’t take COVID-19 vaccination, Oyedepo tells Winners worshippers
By Dayo Badmus,
General Overseer of the Living Faith Church International (Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, has urged his followers not to take the Covid-19 vaccination.
Speaking on Sunday during the 40th anniversary thanksgiving service of the church in the Ota Cathedral in Ogun State, Bishop Oyedepo called on the government to consult him for a lasting solution to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The cleric said: “They should come to me to find out how to deal with COVID-19 at no cost.
“Let me warn you against this deadly thing circulated round the country, because it has not been duly tested. An elder of this church, who works with the World Health Organisation, confirmed this, thanking me for always speaking the truth about the authenticity of the COVID-19 vaccine,” he said.
He described the idea of sending vaccinators to churches as an insult, saying that every church “is anti-COVID-19 zone.”
“What an insult! What an assault! Nobody has the right to enforce vaccination on you, and anybody cannot terminate your employment because you refuse to take the vaccine, my God will show up (for you).
“Did I tell anyone I am sick? Don’t let anyone harass you into doing what you don’t want to do,” he added.
Oyedepo also alleged that the side effects defeated the benefits of taking the vaccine.
He said, “They wanted Africa dead. I heard them say it. When we didn’t die as they proposed, they brought out this vaccination scheme. You need to hear their proclamation that Africa will lack spaces to bury corpses. But, today, reverse is the case. Africa has the least casualty among all the other continents of the world.”
Oyedepo said the foreigners who came for the anniversary had returned to their home countries in good health.
Expanding on what he meant by an effective solution to the virus, he said a shot of anointing oil was guaranteed to kill the virus.
