Award-winning musician Amanda Black found herself trending for all the wrong reasons this week after she expressed her thoughts on Covid-19 vaccines.
The debate around Covid-19 vaccines and whether or not to be vaccinated should remain a choice has been a difficult one. While governments around the world debate implementing vaccine mandates and vaccine passports, Amanda took to social media where her opinions were not well received.
Labelled and anti-vaxxer and even stupid, Amanda asked whether people should be forced to get vaccinated even if it is against their cultural or religious beliefs.
In a series of tweets, the “Amazulu” hitmaker said that no one should be forced to take the vaccine.
She then went on to say that people should do their own research and critical analysis before making any decisions.
And if it’s against someones religion to vaccinate, we dont care?

“Again dig deep within yourself, if you want to vaccinate or not vaccinate based on your own critical analysis, yes I said it, we not all scientists but we have a brain and spirit and we use both as we see fit. Listen to your heart. Don’t let people fear and bully you into it,” she said.
Everyone has the right to bodily and psychological integrity, which includes the right Â
a. to make decisions concerning reproduction;
b. to security in and control over their body; and
c. not to be subjected to medical or scientific experiments without their informed consent.— MaHlathi 👑 (@AmandaBlackSA) September 15, 2021
