@19joho@RedhawkPublica1 Are you planning to publish an online version? Public health professionals living in LMICs would benefit greatly from reading this book. Many antivax South Africans worship the USA charlatans you cite in your book
@GovernmentZA@ClaysonMonyela So there were 6 deaths in 43,448 participants: 2 in the group who received the vaccine, 4 in the group who did not receive the vaccine. Furthermore, the 2 deaths in the vaccinated group were unrelated to the vaccine
@GovernmentZA@ClaysonMonyela Pasted from the Pfizer Phase 3 results: "Two BNT162b2 recipients died (one from arteriosclerosis, one from cardiac arrest), as did four placebo recipients (two from unknown causes, one from hemorrhagic stroke, and one
from myocardial infarction)."
@GovernmentZA@ClaysonMonyela The science is clear - after almost 8 billion doses administered thus far, COVID-19 vaccines have been shown to be safe and effective
@GovernmentZA@ClaysonMonyela The problem with natural immunity, is that you must risk severe disease and death. Can we really say that we are prepared to stand by and see 5% of the population suffer severe disease and death, when we have a safe and effective vaccine?
@GovernmentZA@ClaysonMonyela Deaths following vaccination are reported to the health authorities, and fully investigated. There is no way that any medicines authority in the world would not stop the vaccination programme immediately if the vaccine was causing deaths
@GovernmentZA@ClaysonMonyela The COVID-19 vaccines can only prevent severe COVID-19 and COVID-19 deaths. They cannot prevent deaths from other causes, and these deaths unfortunately will happen all the time.
Phemelo Mokgofe (38), @SABreweries employee is encouraging all eligible persons to vaccinate so that we can go back to "normal life" and enjoy the things we love #IChooseVaccination#VaccinesSavesLives
