President Moon Jae-in is speaking at the emergency meeting of the Central Headquarters for Disaster and Security Countermeasures in response to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) held at the government office in Seoul on the 13th. Newsis
“I express my concern that society is creating a competitive atmosphere for the first place in the world, as our society should receive the vaccine for the first time in the world.”
This is an informative speech on the 23rd by Son Young-rae, head of the strategic planning division of the Central Accident Control Center and spokesperson for the Ministry of Health and Welfare. He dismissed criticisms that “the vaccine was too late to be sure” as “the evil of first-class care.” The fact that Korea’s vaccine safety volume compared to population ranks 34th out of 37 countries according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) evaporated.
In addition, the government’s efforts to protect people’s lives deserve to be “number one in the world.” There is a lot of criticism that Sohn, the ‘mouth’ of the government, said he was trying to defend the theory of government responsibility that missed the golden age of the vaccine introduction.
This is a prime example of the “party government office failure” compounding vaccine anxiety. The recent attitudes of the Party Administration to explain the state of supply and demand for vaccines are ① slow, ② incorrect and ③ nervous.
① Too late probation of President Moon
President Moon Jae-in said, “We will begin vaccination against the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) earlier than in other countries,” at a five-factor meeting on the 22nd. President Moon gave a message about obtaining a vaccine just 14 days after the UK started vaccination for the first time in the world on day 8 and criticized “what is our government doing?” Meanwhile, some 40 countries have begun vaccination or announced that it will be administered during the year.
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said in an interview broadcast on 20: “I will start vaccination no later than February and no later than March.” As vaccine anxiety spread, Prime Minister Chung belatedly decided to explain to the public as a representative of the government, and it is said that he did not hesitate to appear on the broadcast on Sunday morning. Prime Minister Jung showed a relatively honest attitude, saying: “In July, there were about 100 confirmed cases in Korea, so I didn’t think about increasing dependence on the vaccine.”
Two days later, President Moon, the director of vaccine confusion, came to light. On the same day, the Blue House published “President Moon’s Comments on This Year’s Vaccines,” emphasizing that “President Moon was passionate about developing and securing vaccines.” However, only the fact was revealed that “President Moon focused on developing a domestic vaccine until September, but missed the right time to introduce the vaccine.”
Professor Lim Seong-hak of the University of Seoul noted that “President Moon has the advantage of being cautious and cautious, but he rarely communicates with the people he promised in the early days of the regime.”
② Confusion that grows with ‘wrong facts’ and ‘unreasonable logic’
President Moon said on the 22nd: “It is inevitable to get vaccines first in countries that have supported vaccine production.” However, Japan, Canada, Australia, Chile, Singapore, New Zealand, Israel, and Mexico, which are not vaccine-producing countries, have obtained the vaccine or previously purchased it. President Moon’s ‘misleading explanation’ raised concerns: “Isn’t the executive director of state affairs misleading the situation because he didn’t receive a proper report?”
On the 23rd, the government even raised an unreasonable counterargument that “ensuring the procrastination of the vaccine will be a phone call.” “I am very fortunate to have been able to have the opportunity to observe the problems that occur in the countries (that get the vaccine first) for a month or two.”
Professor Kim Woo-joo from Korea University Guro Hospital said: “In the United States, celebrities like President-elect Joe Biden are receiving preventive vaccinations to promote safety, but we are regressing.” “It does not make sense for our government to issue the stability of the vaccine. No, it is an unnecessary story that makes vaccination difficult in the future ”.
③ Another ‘blame others’ … Division’ people vs. press’
The party administration faces the old logic that “there is no problem with government countermeasures against vaccines, but the media generates anxiety through distorted reports.” Their goal is to discredit restless people as “misleading by media reports” and divide them into “public versus media.” At the party’s regular high-ranking government office meeting held on the 20th, it was reported that the policy of responding harshly to media reports by raising the agenda of ‘Responding to Corona 19 fake news’ was unusual.
Democratic Party representative Lee Nak-yeon told a meeting of the Party’s Supreme Council on the 23rd: “In critical times, the opposition party and some media are mobilizing unfounded ghost stories and distorted statistics to promote public unrest. “. Blue House Protocol Secretary Tak Hyun-min also added to the Social Media Service (SNS), saying: “I want to call the names (reporters) whenever I see articles in which intentional misunderstandings, households and sometimes lies without hesitation. ”
Ma Sang-hyuk, vice president of the Korean Vaccine Society, criticized: “If you lose the war, the commander must say that it is your responsibility, not an excuse,” and said: “The final decision on vaccines is President Moon, but blaming the media immediately is problematic. ” .
