Don’t make people get coronavirus vaccines if they don’t want to.

A group of campaigners has encouraged the government not to force members of the public to receive COVID-19 vaccinations, claiming that it is illegal to do so under Ugandan law.

COVID-19 jabs have been reported as a hazard to some individuals who have underlying health concerns, according to the campaigners, who spoke at a news conference in Bugolobi, Kampala on October 26.

Moses Mugisha, a medical entomologist, Daniel Walyemera, a human rights lawyer and dean of Cavendish University’s faculty of law, and Joseph Kabuleta, a seasoned journalist and previous presidential contender, are among the activists.

“We need to have a genuine debate regarding the safety of these vaccines,” said Joseph Kabuleta, who regarded himself in this matter as an activist rather than a politician.

According to Kabuleta, there is evidence that some people have contracted COVID and recovered without receiving medical treatment.

He also claimed that after receiving a COVID vaccine, one of his male friends has experienced erectile dysfunction.

These assertions could not be independently verified by this website. However, some people who have received Covid vaccines have had adverse effects such as fever, exhaustion, headaches, body pains, chills, nausea, and more, according to medical reports published by recognized organizations around the world.

According to the campaigners, if the government forces people to get tested for COVID-19 before receiving a specific service, the government should cover the expense.

They also stated that before administering Covid vaccines, the government should thoroughly examine patients for other underlying medical issues.

They also encouraged the government to set up a platform where people may electronically report side effects they experience after receiving Covid vaccines to help with pandemic management.

“I’m going to start an online platform where people can report Covid vaccine side effects,” Kabuleta said.

COVID-19 vaccinations, according to the official government viewpoint, are safe and have been certified by the World Health Organization to be delivered to individuals as a means of combating or limiting the pandemic danger.

The country had administered 2.8 million total dozes as of October 25. Before further reducing Covid-19 limitations, the government has established a goal of 4.8 million people who will receive Covid vaccines.
