Chief rabbi Warren Goldstein’s submission was truly unfortunate, with mistakes, errors, half-truths and non-truths abounding throughout the piece .
He then laments that we are even behind many other middle-income countries: “... why so many other middle-income countries have done a much better job vaccinating their people”. Indeed, they have vaccinated more people, many more people. But what is not mentioned is which vaccines have been used. In the main it is vaccines from China and Russia.
The chief rabbi then pulls out of the air that “government has actively blocked efforts in the private sector to procure and distribute the vaccines”. He then proposes “unleashing the private sector to handle the vaccine procurement and rollout”. This is simplistic and naive. In no country are vaccines procured other than by governments, for very obvious reasons. In SA the private-public partnership has generally functioned very well.
And third, the pipeline had to be temporarily interrupted twice by safety signals coming from the US.
