[정치]Mask riot’dejav ‘… this time anxiety about the corona vaccine

[앵커]

The controversy over the prolonged introduction of vaccines is reminiscent of the lifting of the masks in the early days of the crown crisis.

Now, it is a mask that anyone can buy cheaply, but in the past, it was an item that could only be bought by paying very expensive money in long lines.

Once again, the government says that vaccine safety is a top priority, but public opinion is not easily accepted and is uncomfortable.

Reporter Lee Dae-geon reported.

[기자] [김옥희 / 경기 성남시 태평동 (지난 3월 초) : 속상하죠. 멀리서 와서 이렇게 줄을 몇 시간씩 서 있고 3시부터 나눠준다니까 6시간 정도 있어야 할 것 같은데….] [마스크 구매 희망자 (지난 3월 초) : 국민들 대다수가 못 구하고 있으니 나라에서 해결을 해줘야지 각자 알아서 도생 하라는 식이잖아요.]

This is the story at the beginning of March, when the prolonged crisis of the crown 19 began.

The ‘mask lift’ continued for some time, as masks were perceived as essential protective barriers to protection alongside hand sanitizers.

The words of the ruling government party, far from reality, further chilled public sentiment.

[이해찬 / 당시 더불어민주당 대표 (지난 3월) : (저도 마스크) 두 개 가지고 일주일을 사용합니다. 집에 있을 때 사용을 안 하고 하나 갖고 보통 3일씩 쓰는 데 큰 지장은 없는 것 같습니다.]

President Moon had to apologize to the public while berating his ministers for finding answers on the ground.

[문재인 / 대통령 (지난 3월) : 마스크를 신속하고 충분히 공급하지 못해 불편을 끼치고 있는 점에 대해 국민들께 매우 송구스럽게 생각합니다.]

The masks, which once soared more than four times in price, have become effective in preventing quarantine, and now anyone can buy them if they want to.

But now it is a vaccine.

When the UK and the US started getting vaccinated, criticism about what the Korean government has done in the meantime started to intensify.

In these countries, the number of cases and deaths from coronavirus is incomparable to ours, so vaccines are being accepted as the only solution.

Of course, urgency takes precedence over safety.

That is why political leaders go out to transmit live vaccines.

There is definitely something different to us.

However, the Blue House, the government and the ruling party have already begun to be drawn to criticism of vaccines.

The Blue House went straight ahead and clarified that President Moon ordered the development and procurement of vaccines and treatments multiple times since April.

Responding sensitively to media reports that “we left our hands to secure vaccines” and responding immediately seems to see the past of the mask crisis.

[문재인 / 대통령 (지난 22일) : 특별히 늦지 않게 국민께 백신 접종을 할 수 있을 것이라고 그렇게 믿고 또 준비를 잘하고 있습니다.]

In light of the masking experience, the fact that there is no readily available vaccine is inevitably a factor of great anxiety to the public.

Also, vaccines are not as easy to stimulate as a mask.

It is important that the government progress little by little in introducing the vaccine with safety in mind, but it seems necessary to take a closer look at why people are uneasy.
