He Deputy of National Renovation Gonzalo Fuenzalida He became one of the protagonists -possible villain- of the conversations on social networks this day, after stating that “for no reason” he will be vaccinated against the coronavirus, at least in the first stage.
“Any scientist or even doctor tells you that a vaccine with less than a year of study is not a 100 percent reliable vaccine … You have to see the side effects“Fuenzalida told the Radio Universe.
“If one investigates and sees the history of vaccines in the world, when they have been implemented even with four years of study, they have produced collateral effects”, Fuenzalida insisted, noting that “We must be careful“.
“This is not so easy. I think it is something that has yet to be written and seen. I’m not that confident“He added, along with specifying: “For no reason (I will be vaccinated).”
Faced with the controversy unleashed, Fuenzalida he asked this afternoon, via Twitter, “calm and chalk.”
“I am not anti-vaccine and hopefully this vaccine will cure the pandemic, however I only ask for caution, and that we do not lose sight that it is a new vaccine that must be validated and that behind it there is a commercial war of the laboratories, “he argued.

Mañalich: “There is no room for personal tastes”
The words of the former leader of the NGO “Victims of Crime” come at a time when both Chile and the world are expectant, waiting for the start of mass vaccinations that -it is intended- will put an end to the pandemic that painfully marked this 2020.
In statements to The Third PM, he former Minister of Health Jaime Mañalich noted that “The benefit (of the vaccine) is enormously greater” than the eventual risks.
“A vaccine, exponentially, has minimal adverse effects versus a very high chance of getting sick and dying“said Mañalich, who recalled that”the mortality rate in older adults is very high“in this epidemic.
“There is no room for personal tastes here; there is a civic responsibility to look at those who really can’t stand quarantines anymore”Mañalich emphasized, saying that the parliamentary’s confession “is not sensitive to what the public is suffering.”
“This is not a problem of whether I, a young deputy with practically no risk of dying, am going to receive the vaccine or not. It is his decision, personal, but when he speaks to the Nation he is talking about what would be good for everyone (…) When you, from the comfort of a remuneration of more than 10 million pesos per monthYou tell (people) that they go out to find their daily bread: ‘Don’t get vaccinated’, it’s a very hard thing. “
“He (Fuenzalida) is free to think, but let’s think of the elderly, prostrate, or people who are overcrowded, or the elderly with chronic diseases, who have a very high possibility of dying in this second wave.“reiterated the predecessor of Enrique Paris, who called to” be sensitive “to these realities.
They ask for sanctions
Fuenzalida’s sayings were also widely discussed on social networks.
“How to reach deputies with evidence in a timely manner before they issue statements based on their prejudices and ignorance? “The epidemiologist and academic at the School of Public Health of the University of Chile asked “for a country” Maria Paz Bertoglia.

The scientific popularizer Gabriel León, molecular biologist and author of the book “Pandemia”, treated the legislator as “ignorant” and “irresponsible”, and stated that “should get a sanction” for “venting bullshit”.
Deputy Fuenzalida is not only ignorant, he is also irresponsible and should receive a sanction. Enough of airing stupid things.

The same opinion was expressed by the disseminator of historical facts and “freak data” Joaquin Barañao, who pointed out that “Damaging public faith by lying about things you don’t understand is not freedom of expression“.
Juan Enrique Pi, former president of the Fundación Iguales and candidate for the Constitutional Convention, pointed out that in 2017 Gonzalo Fuenzalida “was the third most voted deputy in the country”, therefore “one would expect a modicum of rigor and discretion of an authority that has those levels of convocation“.
