Dr G Richard Olds presenting to the TAMCC Community

T A Marryshow Community College, with the support of St George’s University, hosted a virtual session on Covid-19 under the topic ‘The Effects of Covid-19 on Young Adults and Children.’

The session, which aimed to provide a platform for much-needed conversation on the deadly virus facing the nation, was open to all students, staff and faculty of the College and their families.

The session was led by Immunologist and Infectious Disease Specialist, Dr G Richard Olds, who spoke about various Covid-19 related topics including important facts about Covid-19, vaccine statistics, vaccine risks and complications, and common myths and misconceptions.

“We have to do everything we can to try to get ahead of this virus,” said Dr Olds, speaking on Grenada’s current Covid-19 situation. “The vast majority of these cases were not imported; transmission is taking place in the community and in order to put a stop to that we have to start practicing public health measures, wearing our masks and following the rules.”

Dr G Richard Olds speaking on vaccination

On the topic of vaccination, Dr Olds said, “There have been between 200 and 300 new cases every day for the past few days, and the scary thing is the number of people on the island who are unvaccinated. The good news is people are starting to get vaccinated. But, whether you get vaccinated or not, please still wear a mask and follow the rules. If not for yourself, do it for your family, your students and fellow classmates.”

The presentation was followed by a question-and-answer segment during which students, staff and faculty submitted questions on topical issues such as herd immunity, underlying health conditions, transmission of Covid-19 and the safety and efficacy of vaccines.

Registrar and Acting Principal of TAMCC Marva Bowen-Neptune, expressed gratitude to the team at SGU for accommodating the College Community and stressed on the importance of the information being given to the students, staff and faculty as the island continues to be impacted by the Covid -19 pandemic.

Dr Olds and the SGU team expressed interest in holding another session that will further address unanswered questions in an effort to contribute to the education of the TAMCC Community and, by extension, the Grenadian public on the Covid-19 virus.

    People:

    Free speech is good… But ignorance is detrimental, believe in science, you using the computer, the TV, the cell phone, how did it get here ?? let’s give our children a chance to live. Families are being sacrificed, look at the numbers, going up, not down. Our fore parents never had the choices we have today. Get vaccinated, think of your family, can you live with your self knowing you cause their demise!!!

    More fear and scare that is repulsive when you see the Adverse Reactions Deaths and Injuries in young people who faced practically no risk from SarsCov2.

    If you are between 0-19 your survival rate for SarsCov2 is above 99.99%. SarsCov2 is basically an… old a sick and an obese disease.

    Did Dr Olds talk about all the young people around the world who have had Heart and Blood clotting issues?.
    More young people are dying from the side effects than any lives saved by these injections…..in the short term and who knows what its doing their body….. ovaries and testes long term.

    What happened the 18 year old girl who died recently…..did she die after being injected?

    If that was the case then they need to stop injecting all young people immediately.

    Most youngsters will get SarsCov2 have flu like symptoms and build Natural Immunity. Its not a big deal for a Healthy young person with good Immunity.

    If SGU was truly interested in Health, they would at the very least offered Antibody Tests for those who care to know if they have already developed Natural Immunity… which is much much better than the artifical temporary Gene Theraphy Injections.

    If you already have Natural Immunity then there absolutely zero reason you need inject chemical garbage into your body.

    Hopefully enough students and young people have a Rebel Spirit to refuse to follow any Old Pied Piper who comes calling to market and hawk their drugs.

    If you are a young person you are the last person who need to inject this Experimental mRNA Spike Protein drug.

        Can you produce evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine has been proven to save lives and reduce hospitalizations taking into consideration the deaths and adverse reactions caused by the vaccine? https://youtu.be/bQevYc2jX7Y?t=14964
