Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan issued a stern warning to Black people about the vaccine being developed for the COVID-19 virus.

Normally it takes several years of animal and human clinical trials before a vaccine is brought to market. But the COVID-19 vaccine is being fast-tracked to hit the market within months – despite the low death toll.

In a speech titled “The Criterion,” Farrakhan urged Africans to be skeptical of the vaccine, citing the country’s troublesome medical history of experimenting on Black people.

“I say to my brothers and sisters in Africa… if they come up with a vaccine, be careful,” Farrakhan said before also warning Black people in America.

“Do not take their medications. We need to call a meeting of our skilled virologists, epidemiologists, and students of biology and chemistry,” Farrakhan said. “We need to give ourselves something better. There are 14 therapies we can treat it with. The virus is a pestilence from Heaven. The only way to stop it is going to heaven.”
