BONTOC,
Mountain Province – Many people like senior citizens have reportedly refused to
be vaccinated with anti-Covid vaccines in Mountain Province due to several
reasons like reported adverse effects like sudden increase in blood pressure.
A press statement by the Cordillera People’s Democratic Front bared this saying they learned of this in barangays.
During a barangay meeting on the vaccination program, in Besao town, all senior citizens present reportedly did not volunteer to be vaccinated.
“Some backed out to be vaccinated after the Dept. of Health announced that the anti-Covid vaccines will not really prevent the human body from acquiring the virus, but will only minimize the symptoms,” the CPDF said.
Local folks reportedly backed out from being vaccinated after a report that several health workers from the neighboring province of Kalinga still got positive for Covid-19 even after being vaccinated.
“Amidst the widespread doubt and distrust on the anti-Covid vaccination among Mountain province residents, the CPDF is determined to campaign for the vaccination and strengthen community health systems and people's resistance against any virus. This widespread doubt on the vaccination is due to the severe lack of information dissemination among the people.” Revolutionary mass organizations in the barrios will amplify its information drive regarding the Covid-19," the CPDF said. According to an article dated March 2021 in Dangadang, revolutionary publication in Ilocos-Cordillera, vaccines will help produce anti-bodies to counter particular kinds of virus.
The article also explained the importance of having the majority of the population vaccinated and acquire the capacity to produce anti-bodies against the Covid-19.
Meanwhile, the Leonardo Pacsi Command (New People's Army - Mountain Province) is reportedly providing medical services to village folks while facing focused military operations.
"It is quite saddening, but also enraging, that the Duterte regime is more focused in crushing the revolutionary movement than seriously solving this pandemic. Our medical units shall continue its health work among the people even if we are under the attacks of the AFP and PNP. Free, accessible, and quality health is a basic right of the people," said Magno Udyaw, spokesperson of the NPA MP.
"Along with our medical work, we will also intensify our programs in agrarian revolution, like increase in food and herbal medicine production in the barrios, as part of our campaign against Covid-19."
The CPDF MP said people have the right to safe and effective vaccination and military and anti-insurgency funds worth billions of pesos should be used for health and other basic social services.
