Mandatory vaccine: Gore is wrong - Neasa

Loading player...
Gerhard Papenfus and Jaco Swart of the National Employers Association of South Africa (Neasa) talk about a topic being discussed around a number of boardrooms around the world - mandatory vaccination. The topic has come under intense scrutiny since Adrian Gore, founder of Discovery, said that all 10,000 strong of the conglomerate's workforce would be required to be vaccinated. This violates an individuals freedom of choice, says Papenfus, who strongly encourages employers to take a different approach. Gore has followed the lead of many international corporates as businesses around the world look to get its employee base back to the office. Besides violating a persons freedom of choice, Papenfus goes a step further and states that mandatory vaccination is morally incorrect. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
