In the Corona 19 pandemic situation, the crackdown on the government’s vaccine response day after day is hot. The staff hearing for candidates of Minister of Health and Welfare Kwon Deok-cheol held on the 22nd was no exception.
On this day, opposition legislators from the National Assembly’s Health and Welfare Committee published the slogan “Vaccines first” for each seat. Ko Young-in, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea (Gyeonggi Ansan Danwon Gap), protested before the hearing, saying: “This is forcing the candidate to occupy a certain position and fueling public unrest.” However, the power of the people kept the motto and asked the question of ‘how to make the vaccine?’
Saturated ‘vaccine’ popular power … “Only the peace of the regime is more than the people”

Representative Kang Ki-yoon (Changwon Seongsan, Gyeongsangnam-do), secretary of the People’s Health and Welfare Strength Committee, noted that the government does not transparently disclose data related to vaccine contracts, based on statements by the doctor. He said: “This audience shared the idea of focusing on the real part of politics with the members of our committee.” “I didn’t give it to myself, and I didn’t give myself a copy of the contract with AstraZeneca at all,” he said.
Representative Lee Jong-seong (Proportional Representative) also said: “Now ensuring a vaccine is a concern of the whole country, but the government cannot reveal any specific situation.” He said: “Although I signed a contract, I asked for confirmation because I did not disclose the specific moment of the presentation. He criticized it saying:” It seems that I am totally affirmed only by the security of the regime and not by the security of the government. “
Representative Kim Mi-ae (Haeundae-eul, Busan) commented that Prime Minister Jeong Se-gyun recently on KBS ‘Sunday Diagnosis Live’, “I did not think of increasing dependence on vaccines. The AstraZeneca vaccine will be supplied to us from first trimester, but I wasn’t sure when. ” Introduced that. “The prime minister said with relative honesty,” he noted, “I was hoping that ‘this year we can inoculate’ because (the government has secured 44 million copies of the Corona 19 vaccine) it did.
The ruling party repeatedly refuted that the power of the people promotes “vaccine insecurity.” Democratic Party legislator Kim Won-i (Mokpo, Jeollanam-do) first asked: “Is it true that I heard that the influential leader of the opposition (Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Force Growth Committee) was ‘adjusting vaccines and disaster subsidies to meet next year’s resupply’ “.
When candidate Deok-cheol Kwon answered “No,” added Congressman Kim, “this fake news can create public unrest and can interfere with the quarantine by generating mistrust in the government.” “According to public opinion polls, 74% said that ‘the vaccine will be correct only if the safety is verified,'” and said: “We must focus on ensuring safe treatments and vaccines while strengthening the K quarantine.”
Representative Chung Chun-suk (Gyeonggi Yongin-byeong) also emphasized that “the infodemic (a phenomenon in which the rapid spread of inaccurate information related to infectious diseases negatively affects society) is not a solution to the crown. He said: “The number of confirmed cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the United States is 5,261, 94 deaths and 97 and 1.45 of us,” he said. “The situation itself is incomparable.” In addition, “vaccines usually take 8 years, including a follow-up period, even after the clinical trial ends, but now (the development period for vaccines on the market) is less than 1 year. “I have to.”

Candidate Deokcheol Kwon also said: “The government has not neglected the purchase and safety of vaccines.” He said: “We have insured 44 million people, more than 60% (of the population) who can become group immunity,” he said. “We will be able to start vaccination around February and March.” In addition, the contract with AstraZeneca and the details of the performance of the guarantee with Modena and Pfizer cannot be disclosed due to the confidentiality provisions in the contract, but they promised to report in detail when the quantity and the time of the vaccinations
Candidate Kwon also urged the media to exercise caution. He did not specifically address the situation at time of death after influenza vaccination, but noted that “I think the misinformation had an effect on the fall in the influenza vaccination rate (73.1% → 64, 0% last year) “. Candidate Kwon added: “There is considerable concern as the corona vaccine takes 8 years to perform in 1 year,” he added. “We will continue to seek public understanding for that part and prevent vaccine inequality from occurring among those in need.”
