DISINFO: Vaccines from Europe are only meant to sterilize Africans
SUMMARY
On Friday February 19, Emmanuel Macron proposed to the West to deliver as soon as possible 13 million doses of vaccines to the African continent in order to immunise its 6.5 million caregivers. The African Black Defence League (LDNA) reacted immediately by opposing the project: “Take care of France, the African continent is doing very well, your vaccine is only intended to sterilise Africans”.
The LDNA, visibly hostile to vaccines currently approved in France, indicated that the French were only subject to phase III trials, referring to a publication by Aimsib (International Association for a independent and benevolent scientific medicine).
RESPONSE
Disinformation message about the vaccination campaign and the relations between Europe and Africa.
The fact that phase III tests of already approved vaccines are not over yet doesn't prove that people that being vaccinated, or more specifically, African medical personnel will become sterile, after vaccination.
LDNA's founders have been condemned by the courts for intimidation against an elected mayor and are known to French judicial authorities, their actions and declarations are highly controversial and the dissolution of the organisation is publicly requested by the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism (LICRA). If the Sputnik article about this tweet had a large echo, in general the French press hasn't mentioned this statement.
It should be also reminded that also that if vaccines against Covid-19 currently approved in France did not finished Phase III testing, it doesn't mean they would be harmful or that other vaccines not approved would have completed phase III testing.
The European Medicine Agency has an expedited evaluation procedure for COVID-19 vaccines because of the urgency of the sanitary situation and waiting until the end of Phase III testing is excluded (for more information COVID-19 vaccines: Scientific evaluation and approval: Accelerated evaluation). No vaccine completed Phase III testing so far. The COVID-NMA initiative provides with a living worldwide mapping and living systematic review of Covid-19 trials.
