Navajo President blocks Dine' College professor from questioning COVID-19 vaccine risks

[douglas9]

Navajo President Jonathan Nez blocked a Dine' College professor online from questioning the biological and cultural risks of coronavirus vaccine experiments on Navajos.

Dine' College Assoc. Professor Christine M. Ami said, "I have been officially blocked from commenting on the Office of President and Vice President's site. This is an example of the censorship that our Navajo Nation government is perusing. I’m not being belligerent -- I am asking basic questions."

Ami raises the important ethical question of the medical researchers and drug companies offering money as an incentive in a population that is economically disadvantaged, especially when the vaccine risks are unknown.

After being blocked, Ami posted her questions online:

"1) how was community consent obtained?
2) what are the possible, dangerous consequences of this research -- both biologically and culturally?
3) how do you consider paying participants from a socioeconomically disadvantaged population as 'volunteering'?"

"Once again it is not that I don’t agree with clinical testing, but I don’t agree with the coercive measure being utilized by our Navajo Nation government to solicit participation. I just want our People to be fully informed," Ami said.
