1) A rally against mandatory vaccinations is planned outside of Groote Schuur Hospital this weekend, which is disrespectful to health workers who risk their lives saving others and do not deserve harassment at work. 2) South Africa does not have a policy of mandatory vaccinations, and the rally organizers provide no details and previously promoted vaccines as "the devil's work". 3) Health workers have been on the frontlines of the pandemic and work long hours in difficult conditions, yet continue showing up every day to do life-saving work. They deserve respect, protection, and support.
