Protesters against Africa’s first COVID-19 vaccine trial burned their face masks Wednesday as experts note a worrying level of resistance and misinformation around testing on the continent.
Anti-vaccine sentiment in Africa is “the worst I’ve ever seen,” the CEO of the GAVI vaccine alliance, Seth Berkley, told an African Union vaccine conference last week.
The trial that began last week in Johannesburg is part of one already underway in Britain of the vaccine developed at the University of Oxford. Some 2,000 volunteers in South Africa are expected to take part.
“The people chosen as volunteers for the vaccination, they look as if they’re from poor backgrounds, not qualified enough to understand” protest organizer Phapano Phasha told The Associated Press ahead of the event. “We believe they are manipulating the vulnerable.”
The activist and political commentator brought up the widely circulated remarks earlier this year by a French researcher, Jean-Paul Mira, who said, ““If I can be provocative, shouldn’t we be doing this study in Africa, where there are no masks, no treatments, no resuscitation?" He compared it to some AIDS studies: "In prostitutes, we try things because we know that they are highly exposed and that they do not protect themselves.”
“The narrative we got is our continent is a dumping ground,” Phasha said. First ensure the vaccine works elsewhere before bringing it to Africa, she added.

The allegedly “benighted” Africans have more sense than most supposedly “enlightened” Americans.
Why don’t they try the vaccine first in Britain, and only then export it to the rest of the world?
Do Africans have to be Guinea pigs for medical trials?
It’s actually really shocking that with all that’s going on they would go to Africa first. A very bad look.
PING. this verifies your points! Africans being used as pawns to further the REAL white supremacist agenda as embodied by these eugenicist “health” organizations.
Yeah…I’d protest too.
What is the nature of the medical disclosure?
Ethically troubling to say the least.
If you pay them, yes.
we need the name(s) of the people doing
this to Africans

Yes! Resist!
no vaccine
no Bill Gates
no human guinea pigs
They should be afraid. Very afraid.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Eugenics Foundation—nothing to fear but fear itself!
White devil Gates killing Africans news at 11, maybe
But it sounds as if this is rather different.
After all...we are talking about a continent where HIV-infected males, think having sex with a virgin female child will cure the disease.
