The issue of vaccination has reached another level. Its almost starting to seem like no vaccination, no home.
Perhaps you are wondering what the big deal with just getting vaccinated is. Well, thus far society has showcased some very conflicting views with regards to vaccination. If church congregants cannot even have a unanimous view on the matter, what more landlords and their tenants?
The resistance even goes as far as whole nations like Denmark eradicating covid measures including vaccination. This is no surprise especially when there are still some deaths that have been linked to the vaccine.
A recent local survey showed that some landlords are now only renting their place out to fully vaccinated individuals. Some are even going as far as not allowing their tenants to receive visitors.
The survey also focused particularly on an area that has come to be known as “pamalandlords” in Mutare, Chikanga because of the landlords’ strictness. The general sentiment expressed by the landlords was that if herd immunity is achieved in the homes first, then it will be better for the nation. Some even insisted they will only talk to the journalist with the condition that they were vaccinated.
We wonder if many more landlords are starting to adopt this view. Nonetheless, it almost goes unsaid that since others were vaccinated in order to keep their jobs, they’ll probably do the same with accommodation.
Hopefully the tenant Mudiwa Hood has been vaccinated, otherwise zvinogona kudhakwa.
