Why SA isn't making its own vaccines


Why SA isn’t making its own vaccines
From 1935 to 2001, SA produced its own vaccines. But since then, we’ve fallen far behind our peers, which leaves us at the back of the queue for Covid jabs. Why did this happen, and can it be fixed?

Open letter | Please answer these vaccine-related questions, Mr President


Dear President Ramaphosa,
As a bioethicist working with colleagues on issues of medical rights, I have been following the details about the acquisition and planned roll-out of vaccines closely, formulating questions which I hope your government will answer and requesting your assurances about the observation of proper procedures during the roll-out.
The issues I raise can be summarised as follows:
1. Given that, during the 20th century, South Africa was known for its expertise in vaccine research and production – as I detail below – why does our country now need to go with begging bowl in hand to the global north to acquire much-needed vaccines? We want your assurance that we are well on the path to returning to our past self-sufficiency, integral to which is the cessation of the export of our human tissue for the benefit of the global north, a process known as bio-colonialism. ....
