Following the ACDP’s court against the government, anti-vax activists created a leading Twitter trend on Wednesday saying “#SayNoToVaccineMandate.”

WHAT SPARKED THE #SAYNOTOVACCINEMANDATE TWITTER TREND

While the resistance was essentially in support of the ACPD’s stand, the campaign has transcended into a full protest against any vaccine obligations in South Africa.

As The South African reported, the ACDP has taken the Department of Health and SAHPRA to court in order to stop child vaccine doses. As of Wednesday, over 210 000 South African children have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

“There is no classical data and raw data that shows that children are the most vulnerable to this pandemic and that in fact, they can transmit the virus to the next person, in fact, we have not seen a medical consensus that justifies the rollout of vaccination to children. We submit that children are being used as guinea pigs with this exercise,” said Bongani Luthuli, the ACDP Counsel.

SOUTH AFRICANS BACK THE ACDP

The news soon drove Twitter users to launch an aggressive campaign that slams the government for any form of COVID-19 obligatory vaccinations.

Here are some of the resistant reactions that inspired thousands more….

“ACDP must win the court case #SayNoToVaccineMandate we cannot allow the government to violate our rights and be quiet about it,” @Radebe_merci said.

“May the Court rule in favour of ACDP Raised fist vaccinating the same people who can’t even put on a mask is pure madness!!” said @XUFFLER.

“Minors are legally limited in so many ways in order to ‘protect’ them, and now the government is saying that a parent’s consent on vaccination isn’t necessary? Please! #SayNoToVaccineMandate,” @MosheSeakakgole said.

“We don’t say people shouldn’t be vaccinated, all we are saying is that it must not be forced. It should be an individual will to get vaccinated #SayNoToVaccineMandate and as for children they must get consent from parents,” @Radebe_merci said.
