Grenada’s Prime Minister has given the green light to employers to pressure workers to take the vaccine

BY MICHAEL THOMAS

According to a well-known Grenadian barrister Mr. Anslem Clouden, the island’s Prime Minister has given the green light to employers to pressure workers to take the experimental injection or stay home if they choose not to.

Clouden did a public piece urging unions and employers to observe the island’s human rights code and not listen to Mitchell when it comes to implementing this unfair and ugly abuse of Grenadians as a people.

“Employers cannot force anyone,” Clouden said, “to take a vaccine if they decide that it is toxic and deleterious and would affect their health especially where they may have pre-existing conditions.”

“The constitution of Grenada,” Clouden repeated, “guarantees in chapter one that every Grenadian irrespective of class, social standing, what have you, the right to work and therefore that is a constitutionally protected right.”

Clouden called the PM irresponsible for talking down to workers who are not injected, saying that their employer can mandate that they take the injection before returning to work.

“This is where the labour unions must show some concerns and take up the struggle, so as to avoid workers from losing their jobs as a result of not taking an unsafe vaccine. It is callous, it is irresponsible of businesses to insist that employees in both the public and private sectors must be vaccinated before resuming employment.” the barrister said.

Grenada’s Minister of Health Nickolas Steele, was recently on hand at the airport to welcome a shipment of injections, which he called “The most valuable liquid on earth right now.”

Anyone listening to Steele and the authority with which he was speaking of distributing these injections to the masses, would get the impression that Grenadians are his sick children and he has ordered some treatment for them. It is anyone’s guess if the masses were consulted before this order.

Steele said that he is anticipating the over 21,000 doses to be injected into Grenadians soon before the expiration date at the end of June.

Steele told the Spice Islanders they are fortunate to have received these injections. “While it is a limited amount and limited variety it is still the right vaccine that can protect us,” Steele said.

The Spice Islanders are also encouraged to come out in numbers for their shots so that they can achieve herd immunity and go back to normal. Grenada’s Chief Medical Officer Shawn Charles admitted in a recent interview that there are no active cases on the island, and no new cases in the past weeks. This leaves one to question why the crate- loads of injections from the Pan American Health Organization, WHO and COVAX. Is it in the interest of health, wealth or?

Even though Grenada has no active cases, no new cases, it has been put on the naughty travellers list by the UK and the reason is simple. Could it be that the UK is pressuring Grenadian authorities to get the population injected or else the island tourist trade will suffer? Sounds familiar. Do this or else, do that or else.

Grenada seems to be one of those Caribbean Islands that is in lockstep with the draconian enterprise. There is word on the ground that the citizens are told that if they do not have their injection pass, they will not be able to view the upcoming Cricket matches this summer in the stadium.
