The Blue House said, “If there is no distrust about the vaccine, we will not review it” about the’President Moon Jae-in 1 vaccination’ that some people are asking for.
A senior Blue House official said on the 22nd, “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention can make different judgments for those over 65 years old. It seems to have said that data is insufficient. That is valid now.” President Moon, born in 1953 and aged 68 this year, expressed a negative opinion by citing the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on getting AstraZeneca vaccine.
The official said, “If there is national distrust, there is no reason to reject it,” but said, “If the rate of correctness is over 90%, and the policy is not modified or distrust does not arise, we will not review it.”
According to the Central Defense Response Headquarters (Bangdaebon) on the 20th, 93.8% of the 36,6959 residents and workers under the age of 65 at national nursing hospitals, nursing facilities, and mental care and rehabilitation facilities registered as targets for vaccination, or 340,000 4181 people agreed to vaccination (AstraZeneca and Pfizer). If the current situation persists, it has made it clear that there is no priority vaccination plan for President Moon.
However, this official emphasized, “I will not rule out the idea of being hit first anytime when distrust arises.”
In the opposition, President Moon insists that the vaccine should be given first. On the 22nd, Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Strength Emergency Response Committee, said, “At the government level, people in a responsible position should decide on their own who and how to reassure the public by giving the primary vaccination.”
Rep. Ha Tae-gyeong also said, “Is it possible for the people who vaccinate the AstraZeneca vaccine to be a memorial service in the Joseon Dynasty?” and said, “If the vaccine is not suitable for the president, it should not hit the people.”
Accordingly, the ruling party is criticizing the opposition, saying that it is politicalizing the vaccine. Democratic Party lawmaker Chung Cheong-rae said, “It’s an irresponsible trick that amplifies people’s unrest.”
