'We deserve to be choosy'
Presidential spokesman Harry Roque was the subject of criticism again for his remarks
on Monday, telling the public in Filipino during a briefing: "It is true that we all have
the right to good health but we cannot afford to be picky because there are so
many Filipinos who need to be vaccinated." He added that the government will not
force inoculation on those unwilling to receive the jabs.
For Leachon, the right to health enshrined in the Charter means Filipinos have the
right to be critical of the vaccines acquired by the government.
"Well, that is a very unfair statement coming from the spokesperson. Because
to me, and it is [written) in the Constitution that health is a basic right...
We
deserve to be choosy because we need to find the right vaccines for us based
on efficacy and safety," the health advocate told ANC's "Matter of Fact" on
Tuesday.
"And almost all the surveys are saying right now that there's vaccine hesitancy
because of the safety concerns of the vaccine And when there's a safety concern, 1
think you need to heed the call of the customers," he added.
