Tanzanian President John Magufuli has warned the country’s health ministry against rushing into embracing the Covid-19 vaccines promoted by foreign companies and countries.
Magufuli cast doubt on the global urge to develop Covid-19 vaccine claiming that little has been done to help cure other diseases like tuberculosis, HIV-Aids, malaria among other infections.
He said if the Western world were able to come up with vaccinations, they should have found a vaccination for Aids, tuberculosis, Malaria and even cancer by now.
He warned the Health Ministry to ensure Tanzanians are not used for trials of some doubtful vaccinations which can have serious repercussions.
