CANDIDATE SHOT: Professor Martin Veller (L), the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits University), receives an experimental vaccine for COVID-19 coronavirus at the Respiratory & Meningeal Pathogens Research Unit (RMPRU) at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto on July 14, 2020. Six senior clinicians at Wits University have volunteered to participate in South Africas first COVID-19 vaccine trial. In all of the trials (in Africa, South America, North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia) none of the died. Most volunteers had the usual swelling around the jab area and fever within 24 hours, which is expected, as the body fights the fake virus. A possible mild reaction from a vaccine is much better than the possibility of death due to severe COVID-19.
