Many people have questioned the quick developments of the Covid-19 vaccine. Legendary musician Yvonne Chaka Chaka is also one of the people that are questioning the production of the vaccine. However, this put her under fire from social media users.
The Covid-19 vaccines are already rolling out all over the world, some vacccines are coming to South Africa. The country hopes to at least vaccinate 67% of people in the country for herd immunity. The country is still set to receive 1.5 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine in January and February. Between April and June, South Africa is set to receive 12 million doses of vaccines from the Covax facility. There has been a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding the Covid-19 vaccines, with people sharing theories of the vaccine having severe side effects.
Yvonne Chaka Chaka questioned why the Covid-19 vaccine was supposedly developed so quickly but others are not. “Vaccine, vaccine. We still don’t have one for Malaria non for HIV but in [a] few months we have one for Covid can someone tell me how possible this is…,” says the legendary musician. The malaria vaccine was actually released in 2015, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The vaccine was given an approval from the European Medicines Agency but the World Health Organisation does not wholly recommend employing the vaccine routinely.
The legendary musician and ambassador received some negative comments from social media. One social media user says, “Even celebrities spread conspiracies…wild.” One user says, “She’s a UN Goodwill Ambassador married to a doctor. As a longtime admirer I am so disappointed…” One social media user says, “Sigh…Mama Africa, Princess of Africa or whatever figment of imagination title you go by, please I beg you to take a few minutes off of your studio time and research these viruses respectively on the internet…”
