Are We Schizophrenic?
Take your booster or else we won't downgrade to Level 0. The Alert Levels System is no longer based on infection rates, it is based on vaccine uptake! And by the way, here are the Adverse Reactions!
On 29th March 2022, a local article quoted presidential entrepreneurial advisor Joey Concepcion as stating that Filipinos must have sufficient uptake of boosters as a precondition for the imposed Covid Alert Level being reduced to Level 0.
This is despite new Covid-19 cases in the Philippines having already dropped to a few hundred a day, with no new serious cases, and DOH announcing that the whole of the Philippines is considered as low risk for Covid-19.
What authority does a business man have to declare medical matters and to force a population-wide invasive medical intervention? Should we question if he has any conflict of interests to be pushing these products so hard in the face of the now low infection risk? Pushing products that are already outdated and which are rapidly proving to be not just ineffective but also dangerous!
Why is an alert level even being retained? Doesn’t alert Level 0 imply that alerts and restrictions can be raised again at any time, at any whim? Is this our New Normal? Living forever under alert levels and controls?
The Alert Level will be retained but now based on VACCINE UPTAKE, not cases! Take the vaccines or you will not be released from restrictions! So this is no longer about health? Correct? This is about coercion to take a “vaccine”.
Here is the schizophrenic part: further down in that very same article encouraging mass uptake of booster vaccines, there is an entire section talking about adverse reactions (taken directly from the 20th March 2022 Pharmacovigilance report).
Why would I take a product that may not help; there are many hospitalizations and even deaths among the vaccinated; to date, from that same 20th March report there are 3,838 breakthrough Covid-19 infections with 221 covid-19 infection deaths. It may even kill: there are 2018 reports of death.
In the US they have identified that their VAERs system under captures deaths somewhere in the range of 44x.
We have no idea what under-reporting rate should be applied in the Philippines! However it maybe comparable, or even higher. Many do not know of the existence of the reporting system or have technology access / knowledge to make the reports. I have also directly heard personal stories from local families too scared of implications and possible persecution to report injuries and deaths! Insult on top of grievous injury!
Food for thought, indeed!
Sounds so desperate. The very low vaccination turn out just shows that majority of the Filipino people doesnt want it anymore.
