*Who Setting up hub to make COVID-19 vaccines in South Africa* for vaccinating people in poor countries.

President Do-dirty said he will put people in jail for refusing Covid-19 vaccination. I think that is unjustly strict. First of all, there are people who have certain medical conditions for whom vaccination would be dangerous. However, even for people that have no medical reason to refuse, actually forcing them is going too far.

It is legitimate to restrict certain activities to vaccinated people, such as large gatherings, and occupations where other people's safety depends on vaccination. However, if people who cannot be vaccinated are excluded from work for not being vaccinated, the state should pay their salaries, because it isn't their fault.

Once enough people have been vaccinated to reach herd immunity, it will be safe to let unvaccinatable people return to those jobs, and generally treat them just like vaccinated people.

It's getting so that people will condemn an actor for playing a character that has any substantial difference from per real self.
