“But around December, we saw people coming in number. Those coming are saying that they got new jobs. They’re supposed to start in January, and then they were requiring a vaccination certificate. Another reason was because a lot of people were traveling to their own places or provinces, even those that were overseas,” adds Sinah.“Yes, they are … they’re very scared. They’ve been coming in asking lot of questions with regards to that [vaccine].

“This is not my first vaccine, I got vaccinated a few months ago. But now I’m here because I don’t want to hear of people dying. I am very scared and that is why I decided to come and get vaccinated because I heard about the new variant.”Dr Ron Whelan, Chief Commercial Officer at Discovery Health, says there is no noticeable increase in the number of daily vaccinations amongst Discovery Health clients.

Can we see those ' some people'.

We would like to register our perpetual fear that childhood immunisations are scarce. Please check Limpopo clinics. Please.

BS

Relax half the family had it in Europe over Christmas..nothing more than a bad cold..slight fever sore throat and shnotties for a couple of days..negative test after 3 to 4 days.

3 people =some people

Shem, trying really hard outchea with your fear inciting propaganda...also, who are those 'some people'? I bet they don't exist as the whole of SA refuses the jabs. stop boring us, we're busy fighting loadshedding here, we've no time for covid nonsense!!

The only thing to fear is our crooked and thieving governments response to the new looting spree you are setting up for them.

Fake news …

Zuma already told us that showering can cure Aids. Maybe bathing helps Covid.

Same ppl working for the fake news outlets? 🤔

No one wants anymore of the life threatening quaxines....you may try hide all the deaths on main stream media but if you go onto Telegram and follow e.g. LauraAboli you will never consent to the lethal injection ever again

It's an experimental drug

Another IQ test

Who are those people?

Why?. Start wearing your masks it looks strange but it will help with the spreading

Dnt forget that this time around elonmusk gave us back our freedom of speech relating to covid and vaccine issue on this platform, now use a different approach

'Some people' needs to give their head a wobble

Clowns 🤡

New scariant causing fear in the murder capital of the world. Imagine that.

...and to add insult to injury....is not online/working. But we are not worried because we are quoting old stats of the USA on the prevalence of XBB1.5 in the states....!!
