Presiding Archbishop and General Overseer of the Action
Chapel International (ACI) ministry Nicholas
Duncan-Williams has advised people to take the COVID-19 vaccine, explaining that his decision
to take it as a man of God is an act of wisdom and common sense but not a lack
of faith.
He noted that some persons who
have chosen not to take the COVID-19 vaccine are victims of
conspiracy theories and lies being spread about the vaccine in the media,
especially social media.
The Archbishop who was preaching
on Sunday, March 7, 2021, also admonished people to not discourage people from
taking the vaccine just because they have decided not to take the vaccine
themselves based on their faith.
“It takes faith to take the
vaccine. It takes faith. And I said the reason why you’re not taking the
vaccine is because you’re afraid of what will happen to you if you take the
vaccine. You’re afraid because you’re a victim of conspiracy theories on social
media,” he stated.
Ghana is currently vaccinating
citizens with some 600 doses of COVID-19 vaccine gifted to the country
through COVAX, an initiative to get the world’s poorest people vaccinated.
The first dose was taken by President Nana Akufo-Addo to whip public confidence
in the vaccine and conspiracy theories against the vaccine persist.
Some people have been critical
of men of God who profess to have spiritual powers of healing taking the
vaccine. They argue that such persons ought to rely on their faith for
protection against the virus. But the Archbishop has disagreed, stressing that
it is an act of faith to take the vaccine.
