FDA Probing Illegal Vaccinations In Manila Using Chinese Vaccines
ILLEGAL VACCINATIONS – President Rodrigo Duterte said many Filipino were injected with illegal Chinese vaccines.
During his public address on Saturday, the President said there have been several cases of unauthorized injections of China’s Sinopharm vaccine. As such, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said they would conduct investigations regarding these cases.
According to an article from ABS-CBN, FDA director-general Eric Domingo met with Manila Mayor Isko Moreno to launch an operation against this. However, when they went with an operative, the operation yielded no vaccine or supplies used for “vaccinations“.
“Nagiimbestiga talaga ang FDA, yung aming regulatory enforcement unit, lahat po ng lead, nagbabantay po sa internet atsaka sa mga report po sa atin“, he added.
As per the article, Duterte told the members of the Inter-Agency Task Force on COVID-19: “At sabihin ko sa iyo, marami na ang nagpa-injection dito sa Sinopharm. At huwag kang tumingin sa akin kay hindi kita kilala“.
Still, Domingo said they have yet to capture those alleged unauthorized vaccination facilities in Manila. He said they had conducted three raid operations across Makati and Binondo.
Meanwhile, the FDA chief emphasized that the public should never get inoculated with unauthorized vaccines.
“Wag po kayo magpapaturok ng kung ano-ano dahil wala pa po talaga tayong aprubadong vaccine na maaaring dalhin sa Pilipinas. Kaya di po natin sigurado kung ano po yan at kung saan dumaan yan”.
