Inside Labour | Don’t abuse the Constitution to justify not being vaccinated
For the most part, this claim is based on a misrepresentation of the provisions contained in the South African Constitution.
Some also claim, against all the available evidence, that Covid-19 vaccines are “experimental”; that humanity across the globe is being used and abused in some devilish scheme. These individuals usually quote the fact that citizens have the constitutional right “not to be subjected to medical or scientific experiments without their informed consent”.
National Professional Teachers’ Organisation of SA executive director Basil Manuel agrees with the “simple and straightforward message” that rights come with responsibilities.However, it is a message that several unions feel government has mishandled. To get this and other points across, on Thursday, the Education Labour Relations Council held a webinar as part of the ongoing campaign to counter “fake news and conspiracy theories”.
“Education through dialogue” is the route chosen to try to win over the minority of education sector workers who may still have questions and doubts about the Covid-19 pandemic.
