Some freedoms come with trade-offs and in this case the trade-off may have to be a ‘no jab, no access’ policy

However, the issue of mandatory vaccinations is not about issuing a society-wide decree that vaccinations will be compulsory, or holding people down and jabbing them while they protest. Instead it’s about reserving access to certain public spaces for those who are vaccinated, given the risk the unvaccinated bring with them to those spaces. It’s about “right of admission reserved” — for those who have had their Covid-19 vaccination.

Safety is built into our workplaces in myriad ways, large and small, for the benefit of all who enter, including customers, service providers and other visitors.

Vaccination is minimally invasive, free to all South Africans and readily available. And the evidence is overwhelming that it works. Of course, no-one wants to be forced to do anything — we all want our freedom. But some freedoms come with trade-offs. And that trade-off may have to be a “no jab, no access” policy in many places, for the sake of the greater good.
