EFF says profits matter more than saving lives.
THE Economic Freedom Fighters said they were not surprised that the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority did not approve the Sputnik Covid-19 jab's application for emergency use.
“We are not surprised,” said EFF secretary-general Marshall Dlamini. “It has never been about saving lives but profit. They have no access to the Russians and cannot get anything from them hence they did not approve the vaccine.” “Concerns have been raised about the safety of Ad5-vectored vaccines in populations at risk for HIV infection. One of the challenges faced by such vaccines is the presence of pre-existing Ad-specific neutralising antibodies in the general population,” read the statement.
The STEP trial was stopped in September 2007 due to lack of efficacy, but evidence quickly emerged of an enhanced risk of HIV infection in a particular subgroup of participants . Responding to Sahpra’s statement, Russia’s Gamaleya Centre of Epidemiology and Microbiology said that the concerns around the Sputnik V vaccine and HIV are unfounded.
