Dr Susan Vosloo is a South African cardiothoracic surgeon. She works in independent private practice at Netcare's Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital in Cape Town. The physician made history when she became the first female heart surgeon in South Africa and has been in practice for more than 30 years. She recently came under fire for her remarks against the Covid-19 vaccine.
Since the roll-out of Covid-19 vaccines, several conspiracy theories have been developed. They were fears that the drug might contain harmful elements that will affect people’s well-being rather than help them. Health experts have tried to debunk these theories as myths, but SA’s Dr Susan Vosloo is not convinced. She is of the opinion that since the drugs’ ingredients have not been revealed, it is potentially more dangerous than the virus itself.
