[1] Spokesperson Mnyadi further noted that Marie Stopes Zanzibar branches were still in operation: Alleged News. [1]

'Surgical mishap'
According to The Citizen, reliable sources attributed the closure of MST services to an incident in May 2018, in which there was a 'surgical mishap' in treatment at one of the facilities: Alleged News. [1]

Abortion illegal in Tanzania

Human Life International reportedly is aware of cases where Marie Stopes International performed illegal activities in Tanzania, and the international abortion agency had been under investigation there, Alleged News. [3]
African culture welcomes life, and the law is quite clearly in favor of the unborn child, also in Lesotho, Zambia, Namibia, Swaziland, and others; Alleged News. [3]

HML Regional Director Emil Hagamu
Emil Hagamu, HLI's Regional Director of English-Speaking Africa based in Tanzania, reportedly said; "I urge all people in the HLI Anglophone region to unite in our pursuit to kick out Marie Stopes from our countries if they continue to kill our unborn babies, while adamantly defying country laws on life and family; if they continue to sterilize our men and women; if they continue to promote moral decadence among our young people through unlimited comprehensive sexuality education and reproductive health programs; if they continue to spread infertility supplies to our women. Let us condemn the Marie Stopes and its false ideology which carries the seeds of abortion. By working largely in poor countries, Marie Stopes is determined to wipe out the poor races of the world. We cannot accept this ideological colonization nor racist anti-natalist programs in our region," Alleged News. [3]

Culture of Life Africa
In 2017, Lumiere Charity wrote of the Culture of Life Africa's video focusing on Marie Stopes International's Operations in Africa; Alleged News. [4]
The video 'Killing Africa' presented by Ms Obianuju Ekeocha included an interview with a former worker of a Marie Stopes International [MSI[ abortion clinic in Uganda, who claimed that illegal abortions were carried out by medical assistants [not doctors] and that foetal remains were flushed down the toilet, Alleged News. [4]
The video highlighted how the funding given to Marie Stopes International was being spent, Alleged News. [4]
According to Culture of Life Africa, MSI performed 3.3 million abortions and abortion related services every year, Alleged News. [4]

MSI queried by Care Quality Commissions
In the UK, Marie Stopes International was queried by the Care Quality Commissions after inspectors found a catalogue of practices in English clinics, Alleged News. [4]
The 2,600 safety flaws at Marie Stopes abortion clinics included the following in the Care Quality Comission report, Alleged News: [4]
- Doctors were going home for the day leaving sedated women in the hands of nurses and healthcare assistants, almost half of nurses had not been trained to do resuscitation, Alleged News [4]
- Some vulnerable women did not understand the full consequences of what they were about to do, Alleged News [4]
- Safety incidents including medical blunders and equipment failures had increased by a third in a year, Alleged News [4]
- Doctors were signing off up to 60 consent forms at a time when they were meant to be making a thorough assessment: One filled in up to 26 in two minutes; Alleged News [4]
- Foetal remains were dumped in ordinary medical waste bins rather than sealed for cremation, Alleged News [4]
- The CQC was particularly concerned about safety and lack of training, warning patients were not protected from avoidable harm, Alleged News [4]

SOUTH AFRICA: NEW VACCINE WITH CHIMPANZEE-DERIVED ADENOVECTOR TO BE TRIALLED ON INFANTS: ALLEGED NEWS



SOUTH AFRICA: NEW VACCINE WITH CHIMPANZEE-DERIVED ADENOVECTOR TO BE TRIALLED ON 6 TO 7 MONTH OLD INFANTS, ALLEGED NEWS. [1] A public notification "Application for the intended use of GMO vaccine in South Africa" appeared in the Sunday Times on May 12, 2019.  [1]
GlaxoSmithKline Biologica S.A., Rue de l'Institut, 89, 1330 Rixensart, Belgium, informed the public by means of the public notification "Application for the intended use of  GMO Vaccine in South Africa" which is chimpanzee-derived. [1]

Chimpanzee-derived vaccine
GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals is developing a pediatric RSV vaccine [ChAd155-RSV vaccine] and will conduct a clinical trial. The vaccine is to be given intramuscularly to six and seven month old infants. [1]
The trial is planned in the region of Chris Hani Baragwanath, Soweto, Johannesburg. [1]
The duration of the vaccination phase of the clinical trial will be approximately 6 months. [1]
The vaccine itself is a suspension which is chimpanzee-derived according to the public notification application. [1]
"The ChAd155-RSV vaccine is a viral suspension of the recombinant replication-defective simian [chimpanzee-derived] group C adenovirus serotype 155 [ChAdd155] viral vector construct engineered to express three proteins from the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV/donor]: the fusion F protein, the nucleocapsid protein N and the transcription anti-termination protein M2-1." [1]

Intended outcome
The intended outcome of the genetic modifications appears to be to activate immunity to the respiratory syncytial virus. 
"The intended outcome of the genetic modifications is to activate a [sic] RSV antigen-specific immune reponse in a naïve population" explains the application.  [1] 
[In research methodology, a naive participant is a participant or subject who has no previous experience of the procedure, or one who is unaware. (1b)
Population refers to the target group, the entire set under consideration. (1c) ]
Thus, the vaccine which has been genetically modified with chimpanzee-derivement is intended to immunise the infants against infections of the lungs and respiratory tract [breathing airways].

Respiratory Syncytial Virus
Respiratory syncytial virus causes infections of the the lungs and respiratory tract. [2]
According to the Mayo Clinic, respiratory syncytial virus is so common that most children have been infected with the virus by age 2. [2]
Respiratory syncytial virus can also affect adults.
Symptoms of respiratory syncytial virus include:
- congested or runny nose
- dry cough
- low-grade fever
- sore throat
- mild headache [2]

Comments or objections invited
The public notification application for the intended use of GMO vaccine in South Africa ended with the invitation to all interested parties to submit comments or objections.
"All interested parties should submit comments or objections, in connection with the intended release, in writing to:
The Registrar: Genetically Modified Organisms Act, Private Bag X973, Pretoria 0001
Fax: (012) 319 6298
Email: NompumeleloM@daff.gov.za" [1]

Grave concern
Many have been reacting to the proposed chimpanzee-derived adenovector vaccine trial with grave concern. 
Concerns include:
  • The introduction of intramuscular chimpanzee-derived vaccine into 6 to 7 month old infants in the region of Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Soweto, Johannesburg, is one of introduction into a section of the population whose members are unable either to speak up for themselves or to give any form of informed consent whatever
  • The introduction of the ChAd155-RSV vaccine may prove of risk to those vaccinated within some decades, as this would appear to possibly be an introduction without previous clinical history in the long-term effects of a viral suspension of the chimpanzee-derived group C adenovirus serotype 155 [ChAd155] viral vector construct engineered to express three proteins from the respiratory syncytial virus [RSV/donor]: the fusion F protein, the nucleocapsid protein N and the transcription anti-termination protein M2-1
  • The question is asked what the long-term effects of chimpanzee-derived vaccine ChAdd155-RSV will be


Comment feed mainly disagrees with the application
A live comment feed on "Dear South Africa" has displayed mainly 'I disagree' comments to the proposed application for use of the GMO vaccine. [3] 
A few comments:
"They should test it on themselves first before they decide to test it on new born babies. The fact that it has some sort of chimpanzee DNA sounds scary anyway."
"Children are not lab rats. We must protect our children from becoming tools for corporate profit making. This is our future generation and side effects of these tests will have an impact on the future of our next generation. Our children are not test subjects and should not be treated as such."
"This has never been thoroughly tested. Leave nature alone."
"GMO's are a known carcinogen so why would we inject this poison into our little babies."
"Shocking!"
"The rights of the children are not taken into account. I strongly object to this."


Moral concern
The application for the chimpanzee-derived vaccine is of moral concern.
Science and technology should serve humanity according to specific moral criteria: one of these being the service of humanity in a manner in which the dignity of the human person who is endowed with a spiritual soul is maintained.
The moral dilemma posed by the intended use of GMO vaccine ChAd155-RSV is that of indignity to which the human person vaccinated with the animal-derived vaccine will be subjected.
Humanity has been made in the Image and Likeness of Almighty God [Genesis 1:25-27] to rule over the animal kingdom: not to be joined with the animal kingdom.

Title of the Clinical Trial
The clinical trial is entitled 'A Phase 1/2, randomized, observer-blind, controlled, multi-center study to evaluate safety, reactogenicity and immogenicity of GSK Biologicals' respiratory syncytial virus [RSV] investigational vaccine based on the RSV viral proteins, F, N and M2-1 encoded by chimpanzee-derived adenovector [ChAd155-RSV], when administered intramuscularly according to a 1 dose and a 0, 1-month 2 dose schedule to infants aged 6 and 7 months'. [1] in the region of Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Soweto, Johannesburg, at an identified investigational site under the responsibility of the Principal Investigator, as part of an international, multicentre clinical trial. The release will take place in designated hospital or clinic rooms. The release will be performed by dedicated and trained personnel. The duration of the vaccination phase of the clinical trial will be approximately 6 months starting from Q3-2019 in South Africa. [1]

A coalition of Civil Society Organizations [CSOs] in Nigeria has requested the federal government to expedite action and clamp down on clinics and organizations seeking to promote abortion and other unsafe practices that are inimical to reproductive health in the country: Alleged News. [1]

War against children
Alongside the Foundation for African Cultural Heritage [FACH], the CSOs averred that abortion is war against children, warning that a nation that allows its children to be killed is tottering on extinction: Alleged News. [1]

Dr Obi Ideh
According to Dr Obi Ideh, the Director of Foundation for African Cultural Heritage,  "The country should be children friendly by being pro-life which ultimately safeguards the innocence of children and the lives of young women procuring abortion daily. 
Abortion exposes them to materials that damage character formation and inner development. It's important for our society to end up with children who are citizens with self control and not driven by appetite that shouldn't drive them before the right time", Alleged News. [1]

Dr Ideh alleged that Marie Stopes had been lobbying some groups in order to ensure abortion thrives in Nigeria so as to make certain foreign interests fester, Alleged News. [1]

Deputy Director Achike Chude

Mr Chude further noted that from the 1970's to date in Europe, 26 million babies have been aborted and now Europe cannot replace itself again, Alleged News. [1] Mr Chude observed that Canada is taking in migrants in order to replace its population, Alleged News. [1]

Dr Nkechie Asogwa
Dr Nkechie Asogwa of Doctor's Health Initiative, said that aside from the risk of self destruction and death that abortion poses to victims, abortion also triggers psychological trauma which may be difficult to overcome throughout life; Alleged News. [1]

Director General Jerry Okwuosa
Director General Jerry Okwuosa of Project for Human Development disclosed that several studies have shown that a lady who aborts on or before the age of 18 is likely to develop breast cancer later in life, Alleged News. [1]

Abortion is murder simpliciter
The coalition of CSOs in a statement released to journalists stressed that abortion is murder simpliciter, Alleged News. [1] 
The CSO's further affirmed that Nigerian anti-abortion laws conform to the religious, cultural and philosophical convictions of the average Nigerian on the street today, Alleged News. [1] 

Call to expel Marie Stopes from Nigeria
The CSO's asked the federal government to expel Marie Stopes and called on President Muhammadu Buhari-administration to follow other African countries in expelling Marie Stopes from the Nigeria; Alleged News. [1]

Marie Stopes has no respect
The group stated that Marie Stopes has no respect for the religious, cultural and philosophical convictions of the Nigerian people, Alleged News. [1] 
The CSOs queried why Marie Stopes, a foreign NGO, should come to Nigeria to kill Nigerian babies, Alleged News. [1]
"Our babies are our greatest resources. Every life is precious in pure sight," the group allegedly said. [1]

Stop promoting abortion
The CSOs further called on the government to take concrete steps to stop the Federal Ministry of Health, Nigeria, IPAS, Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria, United Nation Population Funds [UNFPA], Department for International Development [DFID], United State Agency for International Development [USAID] from promoting abortion in Nigeria, Alleged News.
