As the battle to convince more people to get vaccinated against Covid-19, legal and health experts have debated how to reassure the public and encourage vaccination in a context where there is widespread mistrust in government and experts.

The discussion webinar was hosted by public interest law centre, Section 27, and, among the ideas that were discussed, was the controversial topic of mandatory vaccinations.

Claude Leon Foundation constitutional governance chair Pierre De Vos said: “We need to think about the extent to which rights are limited, and how severe that limitation is.

How would courts adjudicate on an issue like this? Covid-19 vaccine mandates may not even be the most severe infringements of the right to bodily integrity as is found in the case law,” said De Vos.

Section 27 executive director Umunyana Rugege spoke about the impact of corruption during the pandemic on the public’s ability to trust in government and the vaccine roll-out

Conversations related to Covid-19 on social media driven by conspiracy theories and vaccine hesitancyFringe conspiracy theorists still continue to drive a significant amount of anti-vaccination rhetoric, followed by posts on vaccine hesitancy and vaccine scepticism. What is a conspiracy theory? Is it anything not reported by mainstream media? It’s not hesitancy, it’s straight out REFUSAL. Stop undermining our intelligence.
