Soon the covid-19 vaccine will be launched in Indonesia. The public does not need to be afraid of its halal status, because the government will confirm it directly to the lab where the vaccine is made. All Indonesian citizens must be immunized against corona , so anti- vaccines cannot refuse it. Because the vaccine is guaranteed halal.
We all want the covid-19 pandemic to end soon, therefore we must comply with government regulations to eradicate corona . Including the obligation to inject vaccines. But unfortunately there are some people who question its halal status. Likewise with the antivaksin that ngeyel not want an injection.
Spokesperson for the Covid-19 Task Force, Doctor Wiku Adisasmito, calmed the public and stated that currently the government (accompanied by representatives from the POM and Biofarma ) is directly involved in seeing the process of making vaccines in laboratories in China. So the halal status has been confirmed and the people don’t need to be afraid anymore.
Meanwhile, Deputy President KH Ma’ruf Amin stated that MUI was also involved in guarding the halal status of vaccines, and saw first hand the manufacturing process. As chairman of the MUI, he instructed his members to participate in socializing the halal status of the corona vaccine , so that all Indonesian citizens want to be immunized against corona .
The problem of halal vaccines is indeed a pros and cons in the community, because apparently there are other vaccines made from ingredients that contain pork. So that there are parties who reject all types of immunization, which are called the anti-vaccines . In fact, not all vaccines contain pork, including the corona vaccine .
If the MUI participates in socializing the halal status of the corona vaccine in the community, it is certain that everyone will want to be injected. Indonesia is a country where the majority of the population is Muslim, so it is impossible for the government to allow the corona vaccine to be made from non-halal materials. People are expected to be calm and not be consumed by hoaxes about the vaccine.
Do not let the community even follow the antiva ksin and do not want to be injected because the reason is not clear whether it is halal. Even though doctors Wiku and KH Ma’ruf Amin have guaranteed it. In addition, do not believe the fake news about Putin’s son dying after being injected with the vaccine, because it turns out that it was only fabricated by his political opponents.
The antivaksin also can not escape from liability immunization corona because the vaccine is halal. In addition, they cannot rely on herd immunity because the covid-19 virus is very malignant and there are many people without symptoms. If only 1 person gets infected because he doesn’t want to be vaccinated, then he can pass it on to other people and be considered guilty, because he doesn’t want to be vaccinated.
They also can not be argued that the vaccine is made in a country that berazas communist, because it is in fact the corona comes from the PRC and a vaccine developed by imuwan there. Do not be narrow-minded by looking at the origin of the vaccine, but think about its future benefits. Children will be healthy and free of corona , and we will soon be free from pandemic status .
People also don’t need to be afraid of having a negative body reaction after being injected with the vaccine. Because the volunteers from West Java, including Governor Ridwan Kamil, have been healthy and do not need to be hospitalized. They are also proven that the corona vaccine is safe for the body, does not make the body hot, high and weak.
Giving the corona vaccine should be seen as something positive, because it has been confirmed that it is halal. MUI also supervises the manufacturing process until the distribution of vaccines, so that Muslims don’t have to worry anymore. Don’t anyone refuse to get injected, so that the covid-19 virus will no longer spread. The vaccine is lawful and ready to be immunized , so that we are all corona free .
