FRINGE conspiracy theorists still continue to drive a significant amount of anti-vaccination rhetoric, followed by posts on vaccines hesitancy and vaccine scepticism.The analysis shows that unsubstantiated claims about vaccine injuries and death, government/institutional manipulation, conspiracy theories, and similar mis/disinformation, remain prevalent – despite attempts by authorities to curb misinformation.
The most prevalent is the claim suggesting that the Covid-19 vaccine was designed specifically as a tool for depopulation. Another common conspiracy is that the vaccination roll-out in South Africa, and throughout the African continent, is a means to experiment of African people. A post tweeted by a US account, that frequently distributes anti-vaccination information, gained traction in South Africa. It read: “Fifth year medical student waited to get Pfizer's jab because it was presented as the ’safest’. Ten minutes later, Arooj began having spasms, then seizures, and lost use of her legs. Arooj has asked her family to document these episodes for medical research.”
