Jae-Myung Lee “Refusal to vaccination is a threat to the public”
Criticism from internal line of medical industry “99.9% of them blame 0.1% of doctors”
Criticism is coming from inside and out. Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong made a recommendation to the National Assembly to temporarily allow nurses to give vaccine injections in preparation for the general strike. In the medical community, criticism has been criticized that the medical association is degrading 99.9% of doctors due to 0.1% of doctors whose licenses are revoked.

If the doctors strike becomes a reality, vaccination will be disrupted right away.
This is because under current law, corona vaccination is only possible with a doctor’s prescription.
Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung suggested an alternative through social media.
Suspend your doctor’s license and allow qualified medical personnel to get the vaccine in case of an emergency.
It is intended to prepare for confusion caused by a general strike by allowing nurses and oriental doctors to perform medical treatments such as vaccinations and diagnostic tests.
The medical association criticized the refusal of vaccination as a threat to the public.
He said that the medical association’s ignorance of the people was due to the experience that group actions were easily accepted.
It has suggested that the National Assembly needs an exception to prevent the monopoly of doctors in treatment.
Magnetic voices also came out inside the medical community.
There are also opinions that it is appropriate to accept the revision of the law as the public demands stronger professional ethics from doctors.

In the meantime, the Korean Medical Association is planning to hold a press conference and ask for permission to participate in the corona vaccination.
