I would like to call our attention to the fact that this is mandatory experimentation, we are not guinea pigs,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cThe immediate ones are headache, pain at the site of vaccination and mild fever but there is midterm and long term as well and, in that category, we have some very concerning areas such as oncology. Is there a specific effect on cancer genesis in the body? How does it affect life span, how does it affect immunity, your own immunity, and also does it have an effect on reproduction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also emphasized that in the world of pharmaceuticals, the minimum time for testing a vaccine of the Covid -19 caliber is about 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow does it (vaccine) affect child or brain development? This is information that we don\u2019t have even as vaccine manufacturers say that the vaccines have passed clinical trials,\u201d Dr Mugisa said on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, there are people who are not supposed to be vaccinated because of their medical conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026like those with autoimmune conditions, those who have had organ transplants and pregnant women. There\u2019s no need of bundling up everyone in the same train,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Uganda has administered over 16.6 million Covid-19 vaccine doses, February 16 ministry of health data showed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
