Why the lack of trust on the vaccine?
ISN'T it everyone's wish this 2021 for the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) to
go away so we can resume our lives? So why is there a lot of talk about not
trusting the vaccines that are set to be rolled out later this year?
Another reason is how the government is not answering the questions on
two vaccines they are acquiring. Aside from Pfizer and AstraZeneca, the
government has negotiated for Sputnik v vaccine from Russian's and
CoronaVac from China's Sinovac. These two vaccines have not been subject
to peer review, and only have press releases to back their claim of high efficacy.
Concerns about vaccine safety are true and legit. That is why members of
the Philippine medical community are speaking out. They say what is needed
is to be transparent, to communicate, explain, and make people understand
how vaccines work. Explain that all vaccines do have side effects, but the
benefits outweigh the negatives. They admit this coronavirus and the vaccine
are new ground, but these values can save lives. To do that is to listen to
science, and not to salesmen, and that will help us make a better choice.
