Dhlomo said while individuals can choose not to get vaccinated, they may not be allowed to expose a majority of vaccinated people to Covid-19.

Deputy minister of health Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo says the rights of the collective will trump those of individuals when it comes to mandatory vaccinations. File Photo.Deputy health minister Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo says the rights of individuals not to get vaccinated for Covid-19 will be trumped by the rights of a collective who choose vaccination.

This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa's national address on Sunday in which he said the government was engaging stakeholders on introducing mandatory vaccinations for access to workplaces and public events. “A collective right becomes superior to an individual right. We will not deny you to stay at home if you so wish but you can't force yourself into a taxi of 10 other people who are vaccinated if you refuse to vaccinate but you want to travel with them to work.

The commission said a general law compelling South Africans to get vaccinated would be constitutionally sound under the right circumstances. However, it called on the government to explore all options to encourage voluntary vaccination first.

The effectiveness of the vaccines are the issue not the citizens 🚮🚮🚮

💩

He is hallucinating . wake up madala.

Social-views: The decision to make vaccinating elective was based on the severity of the wave that was confronting us at that time, Omicron doesn't give citizens that luxury, our govt can't lie...it's now mandatory to vaccinate to stand any chance of survival

CR I like him: We can all agree that statements made by our president about Covid-19 can't be definitive, they are always tentative..since we are facing an evolving situation..if the new infor emerge which necessitate vaccination, then let's all do it..

'I didn't vote for DA, I voted against the ANC'...our govt can ill-afford to wobble on the issue...be conspicuous and assertive for once, vaccination is mandatory..if we don't want emerging variants to keep on scaring society and stopping economic activities

Expose how if you're protected it makes no sense

This circus by the media to tell lies it's tiring. Our media is sp biased they only allow certain views.

ask the stupid deputy minster what the use ofnthe vaccine then?

Let’s hypothetically assume that everyone is vaccinated, does COVID 19 suddenly stop to exist?

THE RIDICULOUSNESS : The concern is that those VACCINATED AGAINST covid19 will be infected with covid19, which they're vaccinated against, by those who are unvaccinated!! 🤔 🤷🏾 🤦‍♂️ Also - virus has around 2% mortality. Even if we vaccinate 100%, 98% don't actually need it! 🤷🏾 🤷🏾

Covid 19 is already exposing them and their vaccine doesn't protect them

HELL YES!!!

Yet it’s our fully vaxxed colleagues that are being diagnosed with the Omicron variant.

I Agree!

But where’s proof that vaccinated people won’t infect the unvaxxed?there’s just so many narratives around this vaccination thing…Even ministers just don’t know what they are talking about …

Where are they going to get it?

How do u expose someone whose safer than u? Something doesn’t add up here

Kanti Yini umsebwnzi we Vaccine

We are also have a right not to have trial drugs tested on us.

This is so stupid: 1. How does unvaxxed expose vaxxed to covid? 2. We the unvaxxed test and are negetive, what would make the vaxxed to think we have covid then? NB: This lie from hell is punted by aid media and befitting governments to push things their way. No2OneWorldOrder

Mxm.

What about the fully vaccinated exposing themselves to themselves!

If you are vaccinated again Covid-19 you should not catch the virus. So that vaccs means nothing. How stupid!!!!!!

And then whatch the the economy plummet. Fuck, people are stupid. Never mind the Human Rights violations. People starving, job loses equals more crime. Anc losing the next election guaranteed, only bit of sunshine.

Beautiful statements and illustrations indeed! Seeing that the unvaccinated form the biggest percentage now, when will the majority weigh on the side of the vaccinated in those taxis, malls and other public places so that the Minister's vision may be implemented?🤔🧐

Is your back pocket not heavy enough yet

He is talking shit..we are ready to fight for Freedom just like the youth of 1976. The sad part it's the Government we put in power. In a democratic country we are forced to partake in clinical trials.

This thing of deputy ministers is now Corona in South Africa.... Useless like MEC of Health in Limpopo

So what's the use of being vaccinated if vaccinated are scared of unvaccinated isn't suppose to be other way round

Hollow argument as usual

Let me make sense out of what this man says

But this trial vaccine doesn't stop one from catching and transmitting the virus.

This is Africa...the man has lost his sense of identity. Politics is a very dangerous game.

MZANSI....RESEARCH THE 1976 SWINE FLU that caused a massive Genocide. The tactics used then is EXACTLY what is used now.....100% exact

Your bosses want results ninyile we not doing that shit....

The Ignorance in Mzansi will shock you.We are easily gullable to BS.....and are allergic to not thinking. Reality will hit you...when your immune system acts up after the poison ( vaccine) destroys it...ube defenceless to sicknesses

😂😂😂🤣 no vaxxed people are going to do that all on their own

Vaccinated people amount to 35% and unvaccinated amount to 65%. Who is majority between the 2? wow

I would agree that vaccination should restrict things for the unvaccinated, no more lockdowns.

👁️ The people don't want to be part of the great reset. That's why they are not participating en mass, they have chosen the crystaline time-line not the AI-caborn(666) time-line. It's done. Godspeed 🙏❤️👁️🌞
