Western Cape Premier Alan Winde has been left fuming after the provincial legislature hosted controversial British cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra, who gave a talk about 'unsafe and ineffective' vaccines on Wednesday. | MarvinCharles_
Winde in said, while he respected that the legislature was"a separate arm of government, but I hope that how this event happened will be investigated. I and my administration believe that vaccines have and continue to save lives".He claimed that there had been a rise in out-of-hospital heart attacks linked to the Covid mRNA vaccines, and that they carried a cardiovascular risk.
Defending the talk, Schäfer said she had a list of speakers that she would invite on a myriad of interesting topics that could enhance inter-party relationships across all levels of Parliament - National Assembly, NCOP, and the legislature. Dr Malhotra who appeared as a speaker in the BizNews Conference recently just happened to be in Cape Town and I was able to get him for a lecture on the topic of Ethical Based Health Care.
Schäfer added that Malhotra had not addressed the legislature, but had spoken in the auditorium, which was a public venue. Regarding the outrage over Malhotra’s views, Schäfer said she had"no idea", calling it"totally out of context".
