“Yes, it is
true, Jonah is dead. He died in Kiruddu Referral Hospital and the issues
regarding post-mortem, I am going to work upon it tomorrow (Today),” Jonah’s
elder brother, Jasper Nsubuga told The Nile Post on phone.
Luyinda,14, was
vaccinated in March this year when a team of officials from the Ministry of
Health went to the school and inoculated learners even before the government
pronounced itself on the issue of its planned countrywide mass vaccination of
learners between the age of 12- 17 years of age.
Days after,
Luyinda’s health started to deteriorate.
Nsubuga, Jonah’s
brother recently told the Nile Post that the doctors told them that his brother’s
organs were greatly affected.
It remains
unclear whether it is the vaccine that led to his ill health or whether he had
other underlying health issues.
Luyinda who was
getting his treatment at Kiruddu Hospital was first admitted to the general
ward but later doctors took him to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), saying his
health condition was very serious.
Multiple-organ
failure is a severe, life-threatening condition that usually occurs as a result
of major trauma, burns, or fulminant infections.
Last month, the
Ministry of Health said it had kicked off investigations into Luyinda’s case.
The leader of the National Economic Empowerment Dialogue (NEED) political organisation Joseph Kabuleta who has been very vocal about the issue of this vaccination of children expressed concern that many children are likely to end up like Luyinda.
He explained
that Covid-19 vaccines are very dangerous to children and can cause heart
problems and infertility, adding that no government official or members of the
opposition are willing to talk about this because they fear their donations
from foreigners will be cancelled.
Health experts
and activists have several times warned the government and school
administrators against vaccinating children without parental consent.
I just don't what to say the fact about the vaccines because I still want to stay living in Uganda..... Just know many people who were vaccinated have been through that cup of diseases and even the rest breathed their last but still the government is still empowering vaccination
