Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says vaccination is an opportunity in the midst of this crisis, do not hold back and grab it.
He says recently, a video went viral in which a pretender argued against the vaccine.
Bainimarama adds while it goes without saying that the Police are onto her for the lies propagated in that video, he wants to tell you, do not fear.
The Prime Minister says no amount of her lies will change the truth that the vaccine is effective.
He adds that the woman has nothing to show for her claims and she will soon be made to answer.
Bainimarama further says COVID-19’s hold over Fiji will dissipate.
He adds it will weaken and the light at the end of the tunnel will glow brighter and brighter.
The Prime Minister says let us recall together that light broke through some of the darkest moments in the history of our country because we Fijians stood united.
He adds even in the division, we conquered. Bainimarama says we chose to look on the brighter side despite the challenges, despite the crisis, despite the chaos that had gripped our country in times past.
He says we chose to believe that in the midst of every crisis lies great opportunities.
Bainimarama adds he mentioned last week that he will not be bullied by fear and nothing has changed.
He says he will continue to stand firm and he is confident that he will not be denied his salvation from this crisis.
The Prime Minister says you will not be denied your salvation and Fiji will not be denied its salvation from COVID-19.
Bainimarama adds he says this because we – Fiji – have mastered difficulties before.
He says we mastered those difficulties and we won opportunities.
Bainimarama says some point fingers at our frontliners and disciplined forces.
He says some have questioned their decision to lift movements around Fiji, even though they will all be done under very strict COVID-safe protocols.
The Prime Minister says some have questioned the efficacy of the vaccine.
He says those people see difficulties in every opportunity to set us free.
Bainimarama adds he sees opportunity in every difficulty.
The Prime Minister adds when the outbreak this year started, they were swift to advise villages to implement lockdown measures, including no maritime movements.
He says given this opportunity, 12 yaqona farmers from Koro partnered with Taki Mai which earned them $34,056. Bainimarama says in the midst of COVID-19, they saw an opportunity to earn.
He says they were visionary, they had the foresight, they had a positive attitude and more importantly, they believed.
The Prime Minister stresses that we can grab that same attitude instead of limiting ourselves to others’ views and comments.
