When you’re facing a serious challenge or fear, sometimes you don’t know what to believe or what to do and likewise with the vaccination for Covid19 underway, there is a lot of speculation, and myths about the life saving jab.
However, the (WHO), World Health Organization promises people that this is a scientifically proven vaccine and it’s going to help a lot of people.
Well we conducted a survey to find out the public sentiment on the vaccine;
Sam Modise: “I think these vaccines will help people and I am of the belief that there is no way the WHO as a big health organization body can give us vaccines which will harm us”.
Sinah Thepe: “I heard a lot of speculation about the vaccine and at the moment I don’t know which information is right, with some speculating that we been sold to the highest bidder through these vaccines”.
Bella Molatelo: “I can’t wait to get vaccinated, if this vaccines will heal or protect us I don’t know why should I fear, and I believe it has been double checked by scientists who know exactly what they’re doing”.
Pule Lekalakala: “I feel that to protect lives and bring the country back to normality, those who are in dire need of the vaccine and individuals with comorbidities should take it so that we can achieve herd immunity, however those that don’t require it shouldn’t be forced to take it”.
Tshegofatso Mutau: “To be honest, in as much as there are many speculation about the whole Covid 19 vaccine, I feel like it’s the only solution out of the problem we are currently facing world-wide.I believe we need the vaccine to stay alive and getting this vaccine might come in handy. It’s just that I don’t believe in a vaccine that was done quickly because it might have side effects in the long run”
