EFF calls on Ramaphosa to dismiss DA’s murderous proposal to open bottle stores
20 April 2020
The EFF calls on Ramaphosa to dismiss the DA's murderous proposal to resume the sale of alcohol during weekends. It is clear the DA is a quintessential mouthpiece of the alcohol industry which demands its profit interests to trump the fight against Covid-19.
All evidence points to the fact that the alcohol ban has had the greatest benefit for general social stability and reservation of medical resources. Medical scientists have shown that the majority of trauma cases in hospitals are alcohol-related, from road fatalities to inter-personal fights. They have also shown beyond a reasonable doubt that alcohol deteriorates the immune system.
To campaign for the sale of alcohol during the Covid-19 lockdown is therefore unscientific.
Most of all, it is a conspiracy for mass murder and social instability.
