Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso said charges should be filed against all government officials who underwent unauthorized coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccinations.
He said this after he was asked about the Presidential Security Group’s (PSG) move to administer an alleged COVID-19 vaccine on themselves without help from a medical professional.
Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana earlier said that the vaccine, reportedly developed by Chinese pharmaceutical company Sinopharm, was smuggled because it has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“If that is already a fact coming from the defense secretary, then there is no need for investigation. Cases should be filed against violators, that is the course of action,” Domagoso said in an interview with ANC on Monday.
“Ang investigation, nagfi-fishing expedition pa tayo. But if there is an acceptance already of a violation, if there is a violation, then cases should be filed against those violators to simplify everything,” he added. (Minka Tiangco)
