South Africa Headlines News

With the government exploring the possibility of mandatory vaccines and certificates, the Saturday Star chatted to several South Africans to find out where they stand on the issue.

Should Covid 19 vaccines be mandatory in South Africa?

However, I think that it makes sense to insist that for a time, at least, we put measures in place to ensure the safety and security of all. Right now, the anti-vax movement is a f*****g insane collection of"WhatsApp aunties and uncles" who have read some nonsense from their friend at the salon or something. The statistics don’t lie, vaccines help, and it’s our duty to each other to be vaccinated.

This file illustration photo taken shows vials with Covid-19 Vaccine stickers attached and syringes with the logo of US pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson. Mandatory vaccines and certificates are a horrific idea for several reasons: Around 9.8 million South Africans are currently considered fully vaccinated, figures are far too low to consider segregation and discriminating against the unvaccinated.

I think it's an absolute invasion of rights and the imposition of the Nuremberg code. It completely frustrates me that we live in a country where we're believed to think it’s democratic when actually our rights are being infringed. To be forced to put something into your healthy body, when the statistics of death are less than the yearly flu, and the statistics of adverse effects of this"vaccine" are causing more deaths, is ridiculous. The world needs to catch a wake-up.

We’ve seen a significant amount of people raise their objections to being vaccinated. This may raise the argument of the needs of the many vs the needs of the few.

Everyone has the right to choose to get vaccinated or not. Just like all organisations and institutions have the right to refuse people who are not vaccinated.

What is the reason for mondatory vaccination in the workplaces when the vaccinated can still be infected with covid and can still be able to spread it? Pls make it make sense

If this vaccine really protects, why is the government and the vaccinated so concerned about the unvaccinated?

Surely there is something wrong with this vaccine, the whole government caring so much for people? If they really cares for us why is the unemployment rate so high? Why are black communities so marginalized? Why there is no service delivery in our townships?

Which lives...coz the numbers are always up before, during n after the liquid bullet...you know mos wat is happening in Israel...mandates are not for the vaccines thts wat we think like the vaccine doesn't provide immunity as per the current real info..not news.

For me mandatory vaccination and vaccine certificates are not done to save lives but to enforce a particular mandate, I'm saying this because if it is about saving lives the focus should've been doing trails on volunteers.
