DearSA Welcomes Extension Of Health Act Regulations Comment Period

by ANN Reporter -

DearSA welcomes the announcement by Minister of Health Dr Joe Phaahla to extend public comment on the proposed amendments to the National Health Act regulations. Comments will now close on 5 July 2022, which amounts to an extension of three months. This announcement by the Minister comes after DearSA sent a communication to the Department of Health asking for an extension of the commentary period due to the flawed public participation process. Several other organisations similarly expressed strong concerns about the process and the contents of the proposed regulatory amendments. “DearSA sees this as a victory for all of civil society. And is proof that public pressure from civil society organisations safeguards our democratic processes. We call on all active citizens who

Health MEC’s Vax Claims Debunked

by Duncan du Bois -

According to KZN Health MEC, Nomagugu Simelane (The Mercury, May 3) the unvaccinated “are more likely to be infected with Covid-19, more likely to transmit it to others and are at a much higher risk of dying.” But overseas research findings debunk those claims entirely. Sixteen months of observation by the Centre for Disease Control and the UK Health ministry indicate that vaxxing is ineffective in preventing transmission and causes depletion of natural immunity. Dr Meryl Nass examined the data of 30 million Americans, 75% of whom had been vaxxed and found that the vaxxed were three times more likely to develop Covid than the unvaxxed. Health MEC Simelane’s claim that being vaccinated minimises the risk of dying is completely at odds

Significance Of Musk’s Twitter Ownership

by Duncan du Bois -

History will mark April 25, 2022, as a day of monumental significance in the revival and survival of free speech when Elon Musk bought the Big Tech platform Twitter for $44 billion and became its sole owner. Musk, who has described himself as a “free speech absolutist,” regards free speech as “the bedrock of a functioning democracy” and intends to transform Twitter into “a genuine platform for free speech.” In a letter to the Board of Twitter, Musk stated “Twitter will neither thrive nor serve society in its current form.” For all who recognise diversity and value the free exchange of information and opinion Musk’s intentions should be applauded. After all, as John Milton stated centuries ago, “Whoever knew truth to be

The End To South Africa’s Two-year SoD Ordeal

by ANN Reporter -

The national State of Disaster (SoD) for South Africa ended at midnight and from today the 05th of April 2022, South Africans will wake up to a new dawn and try to gather whatever semblance of life, family, as well as the religious belief they can, after a protracted 750 days of forced lockdown. The Presidency of the Republic of South Africa has officially announced his cabinet's unanimous approval of the ending of the SoD, but they also tried to sneak in there an additional 30 days of further regulations based on the "relaxed regulations for observation". With a veiled mooted threat or warning that SoD may well be re-instituted should the pandemic re-emerge? This is telling of a regime that has

Classifying SARS-CoV2 as hazardous biological agent “crazy”, says leading neurosurgeon

by Maggie van der Bilt -

The idea that SARS-CoV2 is such a dangerous pathogen that it needs to be classified as a hazardous biological agent (HBA) defies all logic, according to Dr Herman Edeling, a specialist neurosurgeon in medico-legal practice. An outspoken critic of vaccine mandates, Dr Edeling was reacting to the Department of Employment and Labour’s decision to list  SARS-CoV2 as a Group 3 HBA (the last but one most serious hazard) under South Africa’s Hazardous Biological Agents regulations. The regulations were published by the department on 16 March 2022 in terms of section 43 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). A Group 3 HBA is classified as “a hazardous biological agent that may cause severe human disease, which presents a serious hazard

Businesstech fails to inform readers SARS-CoV-2 is now classified equally as dangerous as HIV

by Frederic Egersdorfer -

On March 19 2020, the UK government released a statement on their website stating that COVID-19 was no longer considered a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK. Yet in South Africa on Businesstech’s website, an article titled New Covid rules for workplaces in South Africa – and what it means for vaccine mandates. Businesstech announced on 23 March 2022 new regulations published by The Department of Employment and Labour on 16 March 2022 in terms of section 43 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act that lists SARS CoV2 as a group 3 hazardous biological agent, thus allowing businesses to justify vaccine mandates. A statement by Bowmans reads... “This is a welcome amendment to the regulations, as it will assist employers

Zikalala’s Aspirations Spell Disaster For All

by Duncan du Bois -

KZN ANC premier Sihle Zikalala must be complimented for saying the quiet part out aloud: he wants the constitution removed so he can exercise unrestrained power and by embracing black majority rule, shows he rejects non-racialism (The Mercury, March 22). Democracy has always been embraced by Marxists as a means to an end - absolute power. For them, checks and balances on executive power by means of a freely elected legislature and an impartial judiciary presiding over a constitution are merely temporary impediments. More than sixty years ago, Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana pioneered the art of African dictatorship by ditching constitutional democracy and commencing a practice which has plagued Africa ever since. By seeking to replicate that ruinous odyssey, Zikalala indicates the

WATCH: ACDP Wins CCMA Case In Cape Town

by ANN Reporter -

Mr Wayne Prince was unfairly dismissed from his job for refusing to vaccinate. He stood firm on his constitutional right to bodily integrity.

Pfizer vaccine side effects outrage: What’s that about?

by ANN Reporter -

To date, there have been 17-million people vaccinated in South Africa. This is still a small number of people, as it's only 29% of the country's population. On 8 March 2022, social media birthed a new hashtag - #pfizerdocuments. This was after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) allowed the public access to data that Pfizer submitted to the FDA from its clinical trials to support a COVID-19 vaccine licence. On 6 January 2022, U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman made the decision to deny the request from the FDA to suppress the data for the next 75 years, which the agency claimed was necessary, in part, because of its “limited resources.” (Reuters) 75 years is a LONG time...
