President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s envoy and Ambassador-At-Large to the Americas and Europe Uebert Angel has endorsed the vaccine.
Angel, a self-styled prophet and founder of the Spirit Embassy: Goodnews Church recently advised members of the public to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, some conspiracy theorists in Christendom have interpreted masks and vaccines as the mark of the beast.
Angel now claims he does not have an issue with COVID-19 vaccines that use traditional technology. He said he was only opposed to COVID-19 vaccines which use mRNA technology.
He took to Twitter to announce his position on vaccine.
The Office of The Presidential Envoy And Ambassador At Large To Europe and the Americas (OPEAAL) released a statement saying:
“OPEAAL would like to clarify Ambassador Angel’s position on COVID-19 vaccines & reiterate that he remains opposed to(new tech) mRNA type vaccines. In Zimbabwe, this is NOT the case & GOVT has approved traditional vaccines (RNA). He urges everyone to adhere to GOVT recommendations.”
Zimbabwe has so far authorised five vaccines for vaccinating its population against COVID-19 namely: Sinopharm and Sinovac from China, Sputnik V from Russia, Covaxin from India and Johnson & Johnson from the USA.
