Briefly.co.za previously reported that Julius Malema has weighed in on the Covid-19 vaccination as the nation prepares to kick off inoculation drives. The Economic Freedom Fighters leader expressed his disdain at those spreading conspiracy theories over the vaccine:
“Vaccinations have played an important role in eradicating viruses in the history of humanity. Polio and malaria have caused havoc in societies and it was through vaccines that human lives have been spared from death. Vaccines are a necessary and inevitable intervention in defeating Covid-19."
Malema condemned 'unscientific and nonsensical conspiracy theories' seeking to suggest the vaccines are part of a sinister plot to control the population.
