The COVID-19 Vaccine dilemma …

I highly recommend a read of this article as even if one disagrees with some of the conclusions it certainly provides much food for thought …

I have previously opined on more than one occasion on the need to employ effective logistics to the COVID-19 Vaccine program and further, the need to employ every resource at the country’s disposal faced with the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Faced by the delta variant of the virus and a potentially disastrous third wave of infections in South Africa certainly there is an argument that the current policy should be reviewed to alter the vaccination trajectory. I would prefer to see less public events where politicians pontificate and more focus on allowing those capable of improving the situation get on with what they have to do!
